linux 2.6.12 instability

i was doing that originally, but it gets hard to keep track of driver patches and kernel patches. i think driver patches help when moving from kernel to kernel, but they probably won't help the people on this forum much. i think most people here would be interested in just downloading one tarball of the kernel.

i have all of the drivers that i can test integrated - i can't test any of the other ethernet drivers (91c111, davicom etc...)

i wonder if it's a good idea to keep going up (.13, .14..) until it breaks...

Sure, most people need a complete and stable kernel as a whole.

Patches are for kernel developers.

I had planned the patches when update kernels,

00 the uc0

01 the nois2nommu from microtronix&#39;s 1.4 pull out, with only uart drivers.

02 fix compile error and runtime error for new kernel to boot

03+ add zImage and all other drivers of dev boards, eg, cfi,epcs,net,usb,i2c,pci...

I have all the ways up from 2.6.11,2.6.12 ...to 2.6.16.2 .

If you want, I can check out and get diff for you.

I have pci and my apps running.

I didn&#39;t find problem, until you pointed out the dd issue.
