More Recent Wii Linux Kernels
Posted: Tue Feb 05, 2013 2:12 am
I'm not sure if anyone seen this or if WordPress just automatically marked my (DeltaLink) last post under the topic "Debian Installer For Wii" as spam as it had a URL in it. Anyway, all I said in the post was basically that I finished my highly optimized 2.6.32.60 Linux Kernel for the Wii and I've posted it on Github at "https://github.com/DeltaResero". I've also done some work in forward porting the MINI:KernelPreviewFive patch to the 3.0 Kernel.
Currently GPIO support is broken, but just about everything else works. I'm unable to confirm whether or not any of the USB Gecko or Gamecube exclusive stuff works; I just know that it compiles. Once I find a way to deal with the GPIO issues, I'll likely create another Git Repository for the 3.0 Kernel. Just note, until about mid February (2013), any new commits to the current 2.6.32.60 Kernel may be lost as I'm in the process of redoing the repository (due to some strange bug preventing me from committing anything more).
While my 2.6.32.60 Kernel still suffers from the lack of certain syscalls such as "accept4", my 3.0 Kernel doesn't. This should mean that Wheezy will work without having to hold udev packages from updating. Farter, would you be interested in attempting a Debian Wheezy installer once I release the 3.0 patch?
