hi Mark Why do you say there is no relationship between userspace and the kernel version?
Did you check: Kernel: include/linux/.... and Android 2.2: bionic/libc/kernel/common/linux/..... There are same header files shared between kernel and the filesystem. thus introducing a dependency between filesystem and the kernel version. Some script is run on kernel headers to generate the filesystem headers and i think Android team must be doing it once every pastry release. See example header: http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/bionic.git;a=blob;f=libc/kernel/common/linux/types.h;h=b118db0f392272146a8b88ad169aeb7729139a14;hb=master#l1 1 / **************************************************************************** 2 **************************************************************************** 3 *** 4 *** This header was automatically generated from a Linux kernel header 5 *** of the same name, to make information necessary for userspace to 6 *** call into the kernel available to libc. It contains only constants, 7 *** structures, and macros generated from the original header, and thus, 8 *** contains no copyrightable information. 9 *** 10 **************************************************************************** 11 ****************************************************************************/ On Aug 6, 8:03 am, markgross <mark.gr...@intel.com> wrote: > I am booting Froyo (and Eclair) on a 2.6.31 and 2.6.34 kernels today, > I would bet money you could boot them on a 2.6.29 kernel as well. > > You just need the critical kenrel patches for it to work. i.e. > binder, asmem, wakelocks, logger, and one or two more, you can easily > rebase out of the refrence kernel trees google puts up. > > --mgross > > On Aug 4, 3:17 pm, hedwin <hedwin.kon...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > Hi, > > > Which kernel version do I need to use for Froyo? > > I tried the same version as used for Eclair (2.6.32) but that does > > work for Froyo. > > > Hedwin -- unsubscribe: android-kernel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com website: http://groups.google.com/group/android-kernel
