[oe] h3900: Kernel 2.4/2.6 selector or build for Famliar

[Mark Hindley]

Hi,

I have been trying to build some more recent GPE packages for my h3900
which is running Familiar. I have managed it successfully by fixing and
adding .bb files to the Familiar build tree, but as Familiar dev seems
to have finished, I was wondering whether it was more sensible to use
current OE.

Hardware support for 2.6 in Angstrom is not really complete enough for
everyday use. 

I was thinking of adding a 2.4/2.6 kernel selector for h3900 (in the
same way as collie etc) and then using distro/angstrom (with the
necessary PREFERRED_VERSION overrides in local.conf) or recreating
distro/familiar.

Does anybody have any thoughts/comments/suggestions/caveats on this approach?

Many thanks

Mark
