Yes, that the reason why I named the config -omap and not -n900 or -omap3 :) The configuration, which I linked to [0], does not touch the board configuration - they are all enabled by default :) > I think OMAP would be a reasonable addition to the Debian kernel > since there are a lot of devices. Yes, there are lot's of smartphones today and there will come more, because omap4 is also supported by the kernel :) > However, personally I'd like to see explicit support for some OMAP > devices in Debian installer, otherwise I don't see a lot of value > in providing a kernel.

I do not know much about d-i internals, but there was a Google Summer of Code project this year, which was supposed to add Openmoko Freerunner support to d-i. So it should be that much work to add Nokia N900 support? Apart from this it should be easy to add support for the Beagleboard or Pandaboard, since they very similar to a normal PC, but I don't own them ;) The OMAP kernel configuration I provided is not that useful on the N900 without the touchscreen driver though. Would it be acceptable to add the tsc2005 driver as patch until it hits mainline [1]?
