Linaro rootfs / kernel version combination

Hi all,

I need some help in choosing right version of rootfs for my environment.

I have a development board with ST SoC with Cortex-A9 dual core and VFPv3-D16. Kernel version available to me is 2.6.37. I am using Debian 6 arm-hf port, but would like to try Linaro rootfs.

1. What is the version of linaro filesytem I should pick (optimum for -mfpu=vfp and -mfloat-abi=hard) ? 2. I don't have a hwpack, is it possible to use vexpress or similar rootfs.

Regards, Suresh
