But when i get the newest kernel from there like http://buildhost.openmoko.org/daily/freerunner/200808/20080824/uImage-om-gta02-latest.bin isn't that not just only the kernel? As far as i know i also have to update all the modules for this new kernel within /lib/modules/2.6.24. But i think these modules are only in the corresponding rootfs image http://buildhost.openmoko.org/daily/freerunner/200808/20080824/openmoko-openmoko-devel-image-glibc-ipk--20080824-om-gta02.rootfs.tar.gz So should i download this image and extract the modules and replace it on my local rootfs? I don't want to update my kernel if i'm not sure if this way is right. :) Ciao, Rainer _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
