Hi,
I've been trying to boot Linaro on Panda board following the
instructions given in https://wiki.linaro.org/Boards/Panda. I've used
linaro-natty-headless-tar-20110216-0.tar.gz and
hwpack_linaro-panda_20110217-0_armel_supported.tar.gz. After writing the
image successfully on an SD card I tried booting the board from it and
got a kernel panic: http://paste.ubuntu.com/569954
Please let me know how to get out of this problem.
Regards,
Avik
As the next Linaro release (11.05) will include the 2.6.38 kernel, it
was decided that the linaro-2.6.38 branch would open early i.e. before
the final 2.6.38 kernel is released. So there it is.
All the extra patches that were available in linaro-2.6.37 should be
included in linaro-2.6.38 at this point. Some notable exceptions at the
moment are some Thumb2 support patches, and some ARMv6k compatibility
patches. I expect to get a fresh set from Dave Martin soon for the
former, and I'll eventually merge RMK's devel branch which would bring
in the later.
But as you should know already, the feature freeze is due this Thursday
February 24th. So now is the time to consider the linaro-2.6.38 tree,
put on top all the patches you want to see in the upcoming Linaro
release, and ask me to merge them in. If you need some subsystem tree
such as MMC to be included as well then now is the time to say so as
well.

I've been using the sendemail.cc config as well, but unfortunately it is
not used by stgit. If you use stgit to send patches you'll have to
copy /usr/share/stgit/templates/patchmail.tmpl to ~/.stgit and add a
'CC: patches(a)linaro.org' line to it.
I guess we should add these two tips to one of the pages under
<https://wiki.linaro.org/Mentoring/Git/>. Any suggestions?
Cheers,

Hi Nicolas, hi John,
during tests of hardware watchpoint support for GDB I run into a couple of
Linux kernel issues:
- On (some versions of?) Versatile Express SMP Cortex-A9 SMP boards, a CPU
errata (#720789) causes TLB flushes to sometime fail, which can lead to
random problems when running GDB in SMP mode (and probably elsewhere).
There is a kernel work-around for this problem activated by
CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_720789, but this is unfortuantely not active on the
Linaro kernels. (On OMAP4, this happens automatically due to an entry in
mach-omap2/Kconfig. There is no such entry in mach-vexpress/Kconfig
currently.)
- On machines that do not support watchpoints (e.g. IGEP with current
kernels), this fact is not reported properly to user space. Will Deacon
posted a patch to fix this:
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2011-February/041492.…
Can we get fixes for these issues included in the Linaro kernel (git tree
and/or packages ... not sure where the best place would be)?
Mit freundlichen Gruessen / Best Regards
Ulrich Weigand
