It will have to happen post yocto 1.3 (as far as I know), since the 3.0 kernel will be dropped at that point. For the short term, it's likely easier to backport/update unionfs than it would be to update the BSP .. but I can't speak for the time to be spent doing it :) Cheers, Bruce Chris, There are no plans to port Cedartrail BSP to support any other Kernel other than 3.0. The reason is that the Cedartrail PVR Graphics driver is supported only for 3.0 kernel.
