Hi,
Well, I'll keep going, but I'm having some pretty bad luck. First I tried making an SD card. It gets to plymouth okay, which exposes a nice example of the console corruption we're seeing:
We can fix this with "fbset -xres 1200 -yres 900 -vxres 1200 -vyres 900 --timings 17460 24 8 4 5 8 3 -depth 16". We shouldn't have to, though, and the reason we do is that the Rawhide kernel is (unsurprisingly) built without CONFIG_OLPC=y.
Kyle suggested (in seriousness, I think) that we could turn on CONFIG_OLPC=y for the Fedora i586 kernel, as long as it doesn't break other machines. Andres Salomon says it shouldn't, so that looks like the plan of attack:
* build the rawhide i586 kernel with CONFIG_OLPC=y, boot it on a random machine * check that everything works, e.g. audio, suspend/resume
If someone wants to beat me to it, that'd be awesome. If not, I'll get to it.
Thanks,
- Chris.
