thanks for the response! lets just say i have the drivers already ported, how would i then go about merging into the new tree? see part of the work has been done for me. i have the original moto source. then i have a boot img from an alpha 2.1 rom that boots and somewhat works on the cliq. i would think that i could decompile the 2.1 boot img (still 2.6.27 somehow) and pull the drivers from it to merge with with the new kernel. i need the new kernel for a rom im porting that requires the new kernel. -- unsubscribe: android-porting+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com website: http://groups.google.com/group/android-porting
