My excitement abot the availability of the Beta release of F17 for ARM didn´t last long, as the only ARM based system I have is a TI PandaBoard and the release notes say "there´s an issue" with the kernel and the PanbaBoard.
So, what is the nature of the "issue" and why hasn´t it been fixed already? (Ubuntu and Debian both are working on the Pandaboard, so I guess the fix has been already submitted upstream, no?).
Is there anything I can do to get F17 beta working on a PandaBoard ES (I guess the TI BeagleBoard release would be very similar, right?), or am I out of the F17 testing until the beta is completed and the final release is available?
TIA... FC

The release with the "issue" works fine, I'm using it on my PandaBoard ES. The issue is that we're having to ship a F-15 kernel because the F-17 kernel crashes on boot. I doubt either Debian or Ubuntu ship a 3.3 kernel yet. Other than the older kernel it works fine although it doesn't yet work with X although we're working to get that resolved too.

The image with the F15 kernel that Peter refers to can be retrieved from the following location:

Actually the upstream kernel works. I was trying with a minimalistic system (kernel 3.3 + busybox, both build from upstream sources) and even the framebuffer seemed to work fine.

The guy from Sony who had kernel 3.4 RT working on the PandaBoard told me this

If your board hangs on boot, you may get more error messages to figure out what the problem is if you enable:
CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL CONFIG_DEBUG_LL CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK
If it makes any difference, my environment is:
I use omap2plus_defconfig as my base config, then enable a few extra items so I'll have ethernet:
CONFIG_USB_EHCI_HCD CONFIG_USB_NET_SMSC95XX
and I enable real time because that is what I am working on:
CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT_FULL
My root file system is NFS mounted from a server. ---
Don't know if this helps or tells anything new. (I only compiled the kernel on my own once, it was Caldera OpenLinux 2.3, go figure ;). So I'm not well versed on kernel switching, much less compiling and even less hacking :).
