What IRC channel do you prefer? Let's try #linaro
Now, who doesn't want a upstream Linus ? :-D


So, got both 2.6.37 and 3.0.4 kernels packaged in armhf debs. No, they don't boot yet, but things are progressing.

In Ubuntu /usr/share/dpkg and /usr/share/kernel-package:

I simply add there entrys regarding armhf. After that compiling and packaging with debian tools become a lot easier.

for someone acquainted with the process
I'm not I do error&retry until it somehow works.

Revision 104
Status: booted
ubuntu core, custom kernel by unknown-obvious, lubuntu-desktop, lxde. xorg. chronum
16GB microsd (older sandisk, but fast)
2GB FAT partition, 1GB swap

It's working fast, very fast . Boot time is also very nice. I need install icons, because I haven't any icons (white blank icons) and wifi gui - wpagui not show any interface, libicou (or something like that) is missing.I may try wicd tommorow. It's working nice, but needs more programs. I will test it tommorow. But it's very good project

EDIT: Thanks for workaround for blank icons. I installed wicd network manager and it's working good, but every reboot wlan0 has one more digit (wlan9, wlan10, wlan11 etc)
Ubuntu with lxde is working quite fast, sound is working (I must install alsa-utils), batterylife is not terrible. What about OC 500-900MHz ? It will be faster.

Idiot questions from a Ubuntu user:-
If I install this package on my N900, what will it give me?
Presumably, the option to boot either in Maemo or Ubuntu? If I choose to boot in Ubuntu, I presume that the cellphone capabilities will not work in this mode. What about gps?
Probably somewhere in the thread but i'll ask anyway. Can you list the partition arrangement please?
Thanks in anticipation.

You get Ubuntu, and the deep feeling of satisfaction that comes with the ability to natively run software from its vast repositories. You get to let your n900 stop pretending to be a phone, and just let it behave like a normal computer.

Presumably, the option to boot either in Maemo or Ubuntu?
Yes. I presume that's why "with u-boot" is in the thread's title.

Yes, that probably is somewhere in this thread. I presume that information would be in the first post. http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...82&postcount=1

What package do you mean? The script is not a package
The cellphone capabilities are working partially with ofono: there are no sound and no fully-functional GUI software, only dbus signals and some kind-of-alpha support for empathy.
IIRC, GPS wasn't tested by anyone yet. You may be the first
There is an option to write only the root FS into file or a single partition in the latest revisions, but to make it work with the old U-Boot I had to make the first partition FAT. The second one is swap and the third - ext partition with the whole Ubuntu system.

preflex, don't be harsh please

I am not able to chroot into the mounted SD-card. Here is the output:

EDIT: Either loading binfmt_misc module
Code:
modprobe binfmt_misc
or installing binfmt-support
Code:
apt-get install binfmt-support
on the host did enable a successfull chroot command.

unknown.obvious, I think we need to develop a naming convention to add your kernels support to the script until those get published somewhere more "official"
Can you make the archives unpack to folders with names starting "custom_kernel*", "custom_n900_kernel*" or whatever you like?

UPDATE:
Looks like Tom Gall wanted to make a hardware pack for N900. I'll try to contact him.
