Hi Scoot,

Yes, I will pull from your 2.6.16 git. Thanks.

About 2.6.17 , there aren't big change in nommu support. All uc patches are merged into the main stream in kernel 2.6 . So the patches in 2.6.17-uc0 are very small. It is different from 2.6.16 mostly in some arch headers. I think it is safe to use 2.6.17 . It has the first open sourced SD card driver, which might be useful to some embeded app.

Cheer,

Hippo
