See the first line of http://www.earth.li/%7Enoodles/files/delta.boot (linked from http://www.earth.li/~noodles/hardware-e3.html). Hope this helps, Antony. -- All generalisations are inaccurate. -- I'm not impossible, just highly implausible. Please reply to the list; please don't CC me.

Hi, Bought an E3 back in 2008 Not done much with it till now. Wanted to start developing on it again but the files on the ftp server are only up to 2.6.19 and muru only has upto 2.6.27. Can anyone provide me with the latest kernel patch / buildroot config files?

Building a new kernel

I have got an E3 and I managed to flash on it linux following the instructions I found on the web. Next step to make it an useful device I need to be able to tweak the kernel and prepare applications for it. I therefore decided I will try to build a kernel from openembedded as described in the documentation I found. I am trying using openembedded classic not core. I am having some difficulties as it seems that the relevant files are not up to date with the rest. Has anybody successfully built a kernel recently? Greetings Filippo

I've got an amstrad emailer em2001uk that is locked up and unusable - 'Hold down (email) button to restore service', so I'm here as a beginner to see what I can do about it. All I want is to use it as an ordinary phone. I know my way a bit around a linux pc if that helps. Thanks for any advice.
