I also am having trouble with the zimage version of the new kernel on my Vogue. I get a kernel panic before it even gets to the "hold down volume up for menu" phase. A bunch of text scrolls by really fast, and I am left with this on my screen:

Code:
[2.322598] Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
[2.330876] [<c002bb18>] (unwind_backtrace+0x0/0xd8) from [<c0274714>] (panic+0x58/0x130)

[2.377781] Rebooting in 3 seconds..

It doesn't actually reboot, though. The dmesg, exports, and bootlog.txt files on my sd card don't seem to indicate any panic, though.

Is there a certain version of default.txt or initrd.gz I should be using?

Thanks for all your hard work.

I'm experiencing this too :(

The problem with the new zImage is that it doesn't load the initrd correctly from haret, I'll look into it. Until I can fix it, the new kernel is nand only.

Do you have a kaiser but forgot to use the nbh editor to specify that you have a kaiser? It looks to me like the NAND is being partitioned in the wrong place or at different points than last time or something like that.

Nope, I'm on a vogue using haret. Looks like dzo has said this kernel is NAND only for now until he can figure out the issue :(

The only problem I've noticed (other than wifi) is that the system clock seems to run fast, and doesn't seem to want to update from the cell network. Not a big problem, as I have installed ClockSync and just sync to ntp now.

Thanks for all your hard work dzo.

I've fixed wifi on the 2.6.32 kernel. Attached is the new module, put it in /system/lib/modules. You'll also need the very latest kernel. I made some very big changes to the sd driver so this could break other things..

Hmmm... the new kernel works for me with latest froyo image.

Wifi works without your new wlan, but fails with your new wlan.

I'm using kaiser.

The new kernel doesn't seem to be sleeping fully... pushing any directional key or the send and end key will turn the screen on my vogue, where the power button should be the only button to do so. I'm also getting worse battery life, most likely due to the sleep issue.

Kernel 2.6.32-tilt-froyo-27-08-10_23.nbh and wlan.ko on Kaiser

Hi dzo,

the combination on my Kaiser with kernel "kaisimg-panel2-240x320-2.6.32-tilt-froyo-27-08-10_23.nbh", the new "wlan.ko" and the "system-froyo-26-08-10_12.tar" seems to work well (nand). It is fast and stable and the wifi connection works well.
Market, call and sms works well, too.

Edit: GPS and camera works well, too. I think the new kernel is also faster.

I managed to get a gps fix without crashing on this new kernel - don't know if I just got lucky.

I accidentally flashed a kernel with ppp nostart set to 1; and I'm without a hex editor or nbh editor so I had to use head -c and tail -c+ along with echo -n to make a new nbh while travelling.

Is there a way to enable ppp if it has been disabled in the boot string?

Bordeaux : wine... Hum...
YES... I confirm :)
And for you SuperJMN, that's the BT for carkit is good too. Just one inconvenient is to disable and enable BT before you want to connect in your car : after it's a dream !! Because I use it a lot of time for my work.

Cheers.

Oh boy, Wi-Fi working on Polaris with the latests kernel and Froyo :) !



The only drawback is that every key awakes the device.*

Still having issue with the SD card not being seen. I've played around and it seems to be only with SDHC cards; 2Gb works, 8Gb doesn't

Jully's kernel works fine

I think somebody said it already, but would like to confirm that voguimg-240x320-2.6.32-froyo-24-08-10.nbh kernel makes the clock run fast. By the end of the day, my clock will be faster by about 1.5 hours.

I had an unexpected reboot today. Grabbed a kmsg but I don't think there's much. Anyway, the reset cleared my email app settings again (third time!)

I know the data loss issue has been reported but I figured why not.

I'm using 2.6.32.

    ok so my stability argument was based on desktop distro's. I'm sure i'm in over my head but i would just like to have linux running on my phone...so i can boot right to it no windows at all....

    It's great you guys are adventurous enough to do this. And I have nothing against pioneering but you people are getting so excited over a basic shell if that. Thanks but I prefer my phone to be usable with hundreds of thousands of applications to choose from... Can you whip up that many apps real quick like? For some reason people think there are a zillion people waiting to program for Android and not for Windows Mobile... That's not the case. It will take YEARS before Android is competitive if at all. And most of the apps are going to look all homebrew and rudamentary. Hopefully I'm wrong.
