Aug 13 11:40:42 yes Aug 13 11:40:52 Hi Aug 13 11:42:11 in the kernel patches for 2.6.24 is a atag_empty_core.patch. Why is this not in the next versions? Aug 13 11:42:34 Sinclair73de: it was probably sent upstream Aug 13 11:43:10 or if it wasn't merged upstream, it was probably just lost Aug 13 11:43:15 what's it required for? Aug 13 11:43:28 i looked in the latest sources, but it is not in there Aug 13 11:44:12 http://trac.nslu2-linux.org/kernel/browser/trunk/patches/2.6.24/atag_empty_core.patch Aug 13 11:44:15 Looks like it fell under the "It goes up, or it goes out" rule. Aug 13 11:45:45 If it's submitted to linux-arm-kernel by Mike, I'll be happy to reinstate it in the later kernels. Aug 13 11:46:38 I've never seen problems with Apex as a result of this - which problems are you seeing? Aug 13 11:47:33 i'm using kexec Aug 13 11:50:18 reading the arm boot docs there it's possible to leave the ATAG_CORE empty, so i think its a bug in the kernel Aug 13 11:51:24 ok, so i patch the kernel manually, but would be very happy if this is in the next kernel versions... tnx! Aug 13 12:00:27 perhaps you can submit it to linux-arm-kernel, with that justification? Aug 13 12:10:29 oh, i never did this before Aug 13 13:22:09 Sinclair73de: :( That was submitted for review upstream, but I can find no further record of it. It's definitely required as Apex creates empty ATAG_CORE tags. I'm travelling right now; feel free to resubmit, or I'll do that when I return.
