Hi,
i have the same problem. i am using 2.6.19.2 kernel version. i have been doing some patches to upgrade its version then i plan to patch it against android.diff As there are much board related problems to do upgrades, there will take long times to finish it. thank you for inspiring. -ruckuus-

Thank you, Anil.
Yes, my SDK is m5-rc14. I'm reviewing relevant files(futex.c, process.c, fork.c etc). But I can't guarantee I understand all of them. Is there a working patch against older kernels available? At least it can be used as a reference.
Best Regards, Alvin Cao

Hi,
If your trying to port the latest SDK m5-rc14, then drivers/binder is obsolete, the binder module has been moved to drivers/android/binder.c. Also the low-memory-killer is optional.
Essentially you need to port the following modules.
1. Power 2. Alarm 3. Binder 4. Log
Also there are couple of kernel files modified to support Android (like futex.c, process.c, fork.c etc)
Warm Regards, Anil

Hi.
You should port low memory killer and Open Binder.
Please refer to the following links.
http://d.hatena.ne.jp/bs-android/20080310
This blog shows porting Android to 2.6.18 on Armadillo-500.
Patch file
ishttp://brilliant.android.googlepages.com/android4-linux-2.6.18at3.tar...
I think that the source of
drivers/binder/binder.c
drivers/misc/lowmemorykiller/lowmemorykiller.c
in this patch serves as a reference.
Best Regards.

Hi folks,
Some Android specific modules(located in drivers/android) seem to depend on kernel 2.6.23 API's and structs. They won't compile on older kernels. But we have problems running 2.6.23 so I'm trying to port Android to 2.6.21, with which we have no problem. I've heard about a successful bootup of Android on 2.6.14 and 2.6.21. Is there any feasible way to figure out what should be patched to make Android modules compile and function correctly on older kernel? If you are making effort to do the same thing, would you please share your experience? Thank you in advance.
Best Regards,
