Now that I have the TS-7800, I've tested my patched 2.6.24, and I got
it to boot just fine. I haven't been testing all the hardware, but
ethernet works. However there is one major problem.
Every 'nanosleep' system call blocks indefinitely instead of timing
out ("sleep 1" command as well), but the program can still be killed
from another telnet session. I have identified the problem to be
caused by a change in kernel/hrtimer.c. Sleep worked after reverting
hrtimer.c to a version from 2.6.21 (and adding a missing function).
I am trying to identify the problem, however I don't know much about
kernel programming yet. It would really be great if someone looked
into it.
Here is the patch to Linux 2.6.24.7:
http://xtruder.homelinux.net/~ambro/tslinux-2/tslinux-for-2.6.24.7.patch.bz2
and a patch that reverts hrtimer.c:
http://xtruder.homelinux.net/~ambro/tslinux-2/tslinux-for-2.6.24.7-timerfix.patch
for compiling just use "ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=<toolchain>- make
ts7800_defconfig"
Thanks in advance
