Yes. I'm still using 2.6.35 because of this, though I am now aware of how I could fix it if I needed to. See the section "Freescale's git repository" at http://chezphil.org/tvcomputer/kernel.html . The real problem here is a lack of communication. Nowhere is there e.g. a "news" or "blog" type page where someone posts important stuff like "we've decided to change the clocking because $reason in version $version, and you'll need to keep u-boot and the kernel in sync because of this; if you don't like this the changes are $here and $there and you can/cannot revert them with/without breaking other subsystems than the UART". Because this isn't done in public, you, I, and a dozen other people waste hours trying to guess what has happened - time that we could be spending doing something useful, like fixing bugs in Freescale's kernel code. </rant> It would be nice to imagine that some of the other platforms were better. I doubt it, unfortunately. Phil. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected] Archive: http://lists.debian.org/[email protected]
