Re: [Ltib] Try to patch Kernel-2.6.25

[Stuart Hughes]

Hi Stefan,

You can't deduce kernels by looking at bitshrine.  This is a collection
of everything ever used for all platforms.

To get a context, you need to get a known working kernel spec file for
your platform.  The last one I can see is Linux 2.6.23-uc1.spec.

If Kurt is listening, he might know of something more up to date.  If
not you could ask/request Freescale directly, or you could try to
uClinux-dist and/or ask on the uclinuxdev list.  

Regards, Stuart
