Hello: I'm working on adding a new platform to openWRT. The platform is multi-processor MIPS cpu that runs SMP Linux. I have a few questions: 1. We currently have Linux 2.6.20 + busybox + squashfs running and stable on our platform (using an old, customized buildroot-based system), and have customers that require this kernel version. Any suggestions regarding the best release of kamikaze to work with this kernel version?
2. I'm currently trying to get this working with kamikaze 7.09. I see patch files in target/linux/generic-2.6/patches (and patches-2.6.22). Is it the intent that these patches apply to *all* platforms, and each platform can then add additional patches as needed? Our kernel version has many patches, and since it is already working and stable, I'd like to apply as few openwrt patches as possible to get a system running quickly (and then later work on applying all the patches). Is this a reasonable approach, or are the kernel patches required to support openwrt features? 3. As I started building, I quickly came upon this error during the "make -j1 -C kernel compile" step: cp: cannot stat `/home/oostenbr/kamikaze_7.09/build_mips/linux-2.6-pmc71xx/linux-2.6.20. 21/net/ipv4/ne tfilter/ipt_iprange.ko': No such file or directory I used a kernel .config file that already works with our system, which statically links all parts of the kernel. Is it necessary to use modules in openwrt? We compile statically to allow careful control of code alignment in memory for optimal cache utilization (=performance), so requiring the use of LKMs is a serious drawback in our application.
