4.3 kernel from hns

[Linux-SWAT]

Any feedback on how well works this ?

Seems that at least new u-boot parameters are needed.

haven't tried this new kernel yet, but i'm verry
interested in installing a cutdown debian with this soon,
as this kernel includes usb-charging fixes and hopefully
makes my pandy usb-charge-happy again.

i allready had a look at hns's 'makesd' script and
it looks like the pandora is a known target there, yay!

thanks to hns for putting so much love into this!

An news on this ?

It's most likely missing a ton of Pandora specific tweaks Notaz puts in.

I fear that once the Pyra is released, any hope to see an updated kernel will vanish.
That may lead to an impossibility to have updated distros for example.

I don't know. According to http://git.goldelico.com/?p=gta04-kernel.git;a=summary hns is actively working on mainline kernel support. Some donations probably won't hurt.

And from forum posts it looks like the GPU driver situation may not be completely hopeless either.

Well we don't have a clear idea about the Pandora kernel support plan.
About the .next distro I think it's now or never, and as it would be better to switch to hard float, everything will break so I guess we will stick to Zaxxon forever.
Leading up to the up-to-date kernel question.

Almost all of the churn has been Pyra related.
