Re: Upgraded rootfs to Opie 1.1.3

Holger, Phil,

Thank you for your answers!

It's true I can implement a hack on /etc/init.d/opie (opie-taskbar -
1.1.3), but I'd rather fix this for good.

Using the "Hardware" line in /proc/cpuinfo seems to me the perfect
universal solution. It will work too with 2.4 kernels (I checked on my
h3900).

    I'll submit a patch to Opie developers about this. Holger, if you
see any issue, don't hesitate to let me know!

    :-)

    Michael.
