Bug#614593: Please add new armel kernel flavour for the Marvell DB-78x00-BP Development Board

[Steve McIntyre <steve@einval.com>]

Package: linux-2.6
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Hi guys,

As mentioned a few months back, we're using several of these machines
as build daemons for the armel architecture. More details at

  http://blog.einval.com/2010/09/27#marvell_buildds

We were hoping that these machines could be made to work with the
existing kirkwood kernel flavour, but experimentation says not. I've
built a local kernel which works, starting from the 2.6.32 kirkwood
config and modifying it as little as possible; config at

  http://www.einval.com/~steve/debian/marvell/marvell.config/

Please could you add a new kernel flavour for these machines? It would
make things much easier for us in keeping the machines up-to-date with
security etc. It'll slow things down slightly wrt kernel builds (of
course), but they'll be responsible for building their own kernels
anyway...

Thanks!
