Pi to 3.7.6 – Incrementally..
Just updated the Raspberry Pi from 3.7.5 to 3.7.6, using the incremental patch patch-3.7.5-6.bz2, from ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.0/incr/..
# ln -s linux-3.7.5-pi a
# ln -s linux-3.7.5-pi b
# bzip2 -cd patch-3.7.5-6.bz2 | patch -p0
# mv linux-3.7.5-pi linux-3.7.6-pi
# rm -f a
# rm -f b
………………………….. (compile / install) …………………………
$ uname -a

Could you please give your readers a download link to the patched source code for this kernel 3.7.6 ?
You’re much efficient than me for kernel compilation.
I would like to assess the features with this kernel. Thanks in advance 😉
Sorry, but I can’t post any binaries, at this time. The cross-compile is actually not that difficult, and is documented in earlier posts..

Thanks to your posts, I finally compiled a 3.7.10 kernel for Raspberry with two new modules I needed.
So far, so good… I hope you’ll go on with your pretty nice blog.
RG, Notice as i just tryed it now :
3.7.6 adds support for :
SDHCI support on BCM2708 (MMC_SDHCI_BCM2708) [N/m/y/?] (NEW) y
DMA support on BCM2708 Arasan controller (MMC_SDHCI_BCM2708_DMA) [N/y/?] (NEW) y
witch may seems add stable support for BIG SD cards with relaible speed.
try it 🙂 .
again thanks for post your 3.7.5 that saved me 1-2 week works compile an max module kernel .. with working BCM2708 settings.
as far as i have mine .config ready ill post that on my pastebin.
regards, Horst
Hallo Horst,
Thanks for spotting the SDHCI support added. I hadn’t had a chance to read the changelog, yet.. I had been checking out the Pi support bits added to the mainline 3.8 kernels, but nothing useable is there yet..
Best regards,
Robert.
