oh, my understanding of unavailable actually is "being busy with something else", but nice to hear, that you are still alive :) I hope you will continue packaging the kernel for us once you get more time again. > Note that now that 2.6.32 (the first mainline version that can at least > boot on GTA02) is officially in Debian, we must have an official minimum > s3c24xx kernel: > > http://bugs.debian.org/503292 As far as I read it is really a "that can at least boot" kernel. Is there any good reason to have a kernel resulting in non working display?

I didn't tought about this much when I wrote my mail as I was busy with the SHR stuff, but I probably would have updated your packaging anyway. Nevertheless I prefere not to copy files from other distris into my system. -- Sebastian
