Hi there! Please Cc: me, I'm not subscribed to the d-arm list. I think I should have cc:ed the d-arm lists when I submitted this bug, because Samsung S3C is a family of ARM processors, but I simply forgot, sorry. If you think your reply should be directed to the bug, please do so, otherwise let's discuss on the list :-D Thx, bye, Gismo / Luca On Fri, 24 Oct 2008 15:39:05 +0200, Luca Capello wrote: > This discussion started on the smartphones-kernel mailing list [1], > please keep at least that list cc:ed, TIA.
