hi,

after a quick look at this page:

http://www.denx.de/wiki/know/linux24vs26 (http://www.denx.de/wiki/know/linux24vs26)

i'm wondering why are we using the 2.6 kernel ?

Nios II can run 2.4 kernel if some one ported it. But I didn&#39;t see one.

Nios run 2.4 kernel, too.

There is no initramfs support in 2.4.

Some api, data structure and config are different.
