2.6.21-hh16 on h2200

Hello Alain

It would lie if I wrote that "we" have been struggling to solve it on
kernel-discuss list for some time - actually it was Gerhard who spent
his time on it. Anyway - I am very glad that You have solved the
charging led problem :) I would just like to see Paul's comment if it
is ok in the structural meaning....
Could I ask You for a favour ? There are many problems with the kernel
- some get solved, some still exist and are just not revealed (yet!),
some come back as boomerang from solved to bugs:( There is a grate
need for an universal, formal test procedure - how to test the kernel
(not the apps) for such bugs - catch them and make a clear report.
Could You fill in the wiki page that I have created
(http://www.handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/QATestProcedure) with the
procedure how You have tested the leds? In my opinion that is the best
situation - when You are still working on it, and not after a week or
a month after - when You forget most of details.
  To edit the wiki You must first register Yourself and login. Write
anything (or everything) that You made to test the result - don't
worry too much on formatting and placement of text on the page - I can
handle that. I, and many developers would be very grateful for that.
An example of such procedure can be found at
http://pdalinux-tests.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/*checkout*/pdalinux-tests/trunk/testcases.html

Gerhard - I started writing this email to let You know that someone
managed to solve the led problem - but now I see that You were faster
than me. Nice to know that You are around - I have not heard from You
for long time - I guess since since the kernel-discuss went down
(George - please bring it back to life..... pls). I have asked Paul
Sokolovsky about the list yesterday and he wrote to use kernel-bugs as
a temporary place to patches to kernel cvs tree (and CC him the patch
- just in case...) - that goes to You, Alain too.
  Gerhard, maybe a bit off topic - would You like to try playing with
Angstrom (or OpenMoko - I don't know yet) a bit on h2200 and some of
its cool features like kinetic scrolling (the one that everybody goes
crazy these days.....:P ) ?
See

http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/FAQ#Q:_Does_OpenMoko_run_on_any_other_hardware.3F
http://dominion.kabel.utwente.nl/koen/cms/openmoko-running-on-an-ipaq
If it can run on hx4700, motorola a780, regular PC why shouldn't it
run on h2200 ?

As it goes for i2c-pxa missing in angstrom build - I have spotted that
OE treats "needed" modules differently that Familiar. I think the best
place to ask why and who to solve the i2c-pxa problem are the OE
mailing lists.

Anyway - it is nice to see some interesting moves on h2200 mailing
list - the summer was dead season on h2200 subject (and hh.org in
general - I guess - [well - maybe not for George France -working hard
on Server Maintenance and Upgrades - we are keeping our fingers
crossed for good results:) ]) - in opposite to OE, OpenMoko and
OpenEZX.

Cheers
Michal
