Package: linux-2.6 Version: 3.2.15-1 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch Please consider a new kernel variant to support Versatile Express, an armhf capable platform that it is also supported by the qemu version currently in wheezy/sid (1.0.1+dfsg-1).
This would allow more people to test the armhf port without needing armhf capable hardware. For some information about qemu support: https://wiki.linaro.org/PeterMaydell/QemuVersatileExpress I've tested that the following configuration at least boots to a Debian armhf LTSP environment in QEMU. "qemu-system-arm -M vexpress-a9 -kernel ..." worked like a charm. It essentially grabs the vexpress default configuration from the upstream kernel, perhaps this could/should be trimmed down... live well, vagrant diff -urN ../l/linux-2.6-3.2.15/debian/changelog debian/changelog --- ../l/linux-2.6-3.2.15/debian/changelog 2012-04-25 12:52:15.000000000 -0700 +++ debian/changelog 2012-04-25 13:13:40.000000000 -0700 @@ -1,3 +1,10 @@ +linux-2.6 (3.2.15-2) UNRELEASED;
