To

mi->bank[0].size = (99 * 1024 * 1024);

I also made the following change (but I don't think it affects anything).

Line 280 in /arch/arm/mach-msm/pmem.c

Change from

pmem_setting.ram_console_size=0x2000;

To

pmem_setting.ram_console_size=0x20000;

ahh man .. thats odd.. in reality that should also kill haret version even more.

ANyways if it fixes it then ill run it by bzo who was the original author of the 3d mem patch. If its kosher, we can commit this all around.

Thanks for looking into it while i deal with my nand issues. I tried everything to get it to work and Jonpry has a theory there is a bad block somewhere. Hopefully i can get it resolved soon.

In the mean time can you compile from the latest source now with no issues?

@Coolsilver: Unfortunately, there are some major differences between booting with haret vs. nand. Some of the changes don't translate over, and nand is a branch that only supports the rhodium devices whereas the "haret" tree supports many devices.

Yea but I knew you would need to patch any merged code to make it NAND compatible. Just a thought. I see you found why things were acting strange.

natemcnutty .. looks like my nand patch was broken for 3d. I'm making your commit tonight ..

All credits to you buddy.

Um nate im a lurker more than a poster as i dont like to bother people with questions that have been asked before so i read the threads and search but im gonna have to ask whats this .35 kernel i regularly go thru the irc logs and see so many references to .35 fixing this and .35 fixing that but have no idea whats the deal with it can u explain a little or point me to where i can read about it? Thanks!

Sure thing. 2.6.27 is the linux kernel we are currently using. 2.6.35 is the linux kernel the devs would love to get working on our devices. It would solve a lot of common problems and allow for much cleaner code. It also would give them a solid 2+ years of kernel improvements in one easy package.

I'm not really sure how feasible it is or if they are just messing with it to see how far they can get. That's one of those things Jonpry, ACL, and Phh would have to answer for you

ahhh ok thats intresting so they are trying to migrate/upgrade to the new kernel but its not backwards compatible ( in layman terms as im a non programer )
