Oh I agree, not a fan of having to get this particular chipset working but not much of a choice in the matter
I tried the patches on the TC patched 3.0.21 kernel source and compiled. It ended up creating a 4.5mb vmlinuz which is twice the size of the stock TC4.4 vmlinuz. So perhaps I did something wrong there, but the kernel will not work and panics at boot.
So I would be safe to download say a 3.1.0 kernel, apply the TC 3.0.21 patches and then the Cedarview patches?
Thanks again guys.
