I'm using this [http://www.embedon.com/producte/2410-2-study.htm

No i want to upgrade it to 2.6x version, very first i have downloaded
and configured the cross platform toll chain as explained here [
http://www.schnozzle.org/~coldwell/toolchain/ ]. Then i followed this
2.6.10. Why don't you try linux kernel 2.6.10 and apply those patches?
I am not using ARM, but when I built my cross chain for i386 platform, I
used patches from the buildroot.
You might try these two suggestions and see how it goes
[http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/docs/kerncomp.php] great HOWTO to
compile the kernel. With 2.6.20 everything went smooth and i got a
newly compiled zImage right in my arch/arm/boot directory. After
loading it to flash my ARM gives me following message at system
startup:

Sometimes it is "ran out of input data" error message rather "bad gzip
magic number". Now IIRC there is no patch for 2.6.x and ARM support is
directly available in the mainstream kernel. So where and what i'm
missing here? and is there anyway to know what exactly is happening?

Hi Anon,
Thanks for response _but_ IMHO there is no patch (From Russel)
for 2.6.1 onward though there are some for 2.6.0 as can be seen here
[ ftp://ftp.arm.linux.org.uk/pub/armlinux/source/kernel-patches/v2.6/
Yes, I saw it
]. I might be wrong so please can you forward the right link?
Snip fro Anon:
I am not using ARM, but when I built my cross chain for i386 platform, I used patches from the buildroot.
Any web link to tool cahin that you are using? any help will be
appreciated.
I made a script which automatically build my tool chain, and as I said I used patches from buildroot. Their website is:
http://buildroot.uclibc.org/
This page also helped me lot:
