There are a couple of us looking into this at the moment. The thinking
(thus far, only really started pondering recently) goes that we need a
kernel RPM but using the F13 kernel is basically certain death in terms
of the number of extra patches needed, etc. Therefore, we'll take 2.6.38
and do a rawhide-like kernel RPM that is also installable on F13 to get
going. I'm thinking we'll start with an OMAP kernel RPM that works on
BeagleBoard-xM and PandaBoard and work from there.

I'll be at LF/ELC the next couple of weeks, but the hope is to have
something in motion by then and posted here. If anyone else is already
working on kernel packaging, please ping me so we don't duplicate
efforts in putting this together :)

Jon.

Count me in for testing the OMAP kernels.  I've spent the past couple of days trying to get a 2.6.38 kernel for my BeagleBoard-xM that has working ethernet and video (I can only seem to get one or the other).  Do you plan on going with the vanilla kernel, or using the linux-omap branch for instance?

I haven't been working on the packaging part yet (need a working configuration first,) but I would be interested in helping out.
