Package: linux-2.6 Version: 2.6.18.dfsg.1-10 Severity: normal Tags: patch User: debian-arm@lists.debian.org Usertags: eabi The armel architecture is a new port of arm built with an incompatible abi. To generate kernel images for armel, I've based things on the existing arm setup, with these changes: * AFAIK footbridge is not supported for armel. * At least for transitonal purposes, it makes sense to build the armel kernels with support for the arm architecture too, via CONFIG_OABI_COMPAT. This does impose some performance penalty, so may be turned off later. Apply the attached patch as follows: cp -a debian/arch/arm debian/arch/armel rm debian/arch/armel/*footbridge* patch -p1 < armel.patch debian/rules debian/control Note that many files in debian/arch/armel are identical to the ones in debian/arch/arm, and should be changed in parallel going forward. Symlinking the files is also a possibility.. Also note that kernel-package needs to be patched with the patch in bug #410459 before it can build the armel kernel. -- see shy jo
