2.6 status for pb1100?
Hi,
I'm working with a PB1100 board, and I try to run a linux 2.6 kernel. I've both try the kernel.org releases (2.6.8.1)and linux-mips CVS head. While both fail due to many reasons, I've observed that some drivers have not been implemented or updated for kernel 2.6 series (for example the au1100 framebuffer driver still use some kernel 2.4 headers).
My question is: Do PB1100 boards are officially supported by 2.6.x kernels?
Thanks,
Karl

Not yet, but we're working on it. Our target is the Db1x boards, however, updating the Pb1x will be trivial once the Pb1x are working. I have a bunch of patches in my queue but won't be able to push them until I get back from vacation. The FB driver is not one of them though -- that comes later.
