Spectre660: As a Sam440 owner with an AmigaOS/Debian5 dualboot, I am interesting in a newer Linux version. It seems that you've made a great work. Do you think you will be able to provide an installer (ISO file to burn a CDROM for example) or a complete procedure?
With patches and information here or there, it would be wonderful to join efforts and publish all that with a collaborative effort (you, Geri, ppc_addon, xeno74, ACube, ...).

if I can do that and modify the updated Wheezy installer then I can do a CD netinstall cd.
aslo since I figured out that I can do test installs on my ESATA drive I don have to keep reinstalling my working install so this will save me time.

Very good work!!!!! I can host your netinstall cd if you like. Thank you for your hard work!

Cheers,
Christian

# Character devices

CONFIG_TTY=y

Not in the 2.6.31.5 config nor the 2.6.36-3 config
No option to disable in 3.10.13 config

The installer will do an install via Serial console on a second computer .

GREAT, BTW will that kernel support any RadeonHD6000 series on SAM460ex?
I tried a couple of months ago to install Linux (netinstall) on my SAM460ex with a RadeonHD6570, but alas it wasn't supported It only worked on the built-in SM501 vga I gave up.
f you need some testers you can count on me
TIA
