This is not a Menlow platform. Menlow is also an Atom processor based platform, but it contains a different chipset. Your device contains a 945 derived chipset (i.e. something that has been around existing boards for a a while, and 'just works' with a modern kernel.) I don't have access to one of these boards, but any modern Linux distro (like an Ubuntu Hardy) should work, and my hope is that the Ubuntu ReMix would add some interesting components. > > No luck I'm getting a segmentation fault on the http option and the > rsync won't work either. I wouldn't bother with using that kernel since the additional patches are for the chipset on Menlow systems, but for what it's worth we are adding git protocol for any git repo on Moblin since read-only http access has been a pain to keep working. You should be able to use the distribution kernel for any modern distro (hardy, ubuntu-remix, etc), or if you can build from the latest stable kernel on kernel.org. > > So my questions > > 1) Does someone has a solution for the network controller > 2) What about the segmentation fault > 3) Who has Ubuntu up and running on the D945GCLF, pleas inform me > > > Thnx in advance > > Greetz > Maverick2k > Bob > > > -- Ubuntu-mobile mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-mobile
