Kernels without BLN

[Hawker]

When deciding on whether or not to try out a kernel, BLN is the first pre-requisite I consider. There are a few around that do not support this. Most do, but some (eg stock, cf-root kernels, speedmod to name but a few) do not.

However, is it just not a case to keep a copy of /system.lib/hw/lights.GT-I100.so from a BLN supported kernel and copy this in place?

If it works, it would basically open up all kernels for people like myself
I think Sydney Speedmod would appreciate this.

I might give this a try.

No, looks like there is a little more to it. I shall dig deeper....

The kernel still has to be compiled to load the module, even if it's installed.

If you can achieve this you shall have god-like status!

Then perhaps something could be included in the init.d scripts to load the module instead slug?

I'll do some digging anyway.

Thanks mate

insmod <path>/lights.GT-I100.so

should work from a terminal, either on the handset or a PC via adb shell. I'm not sure if the same command is used in scripts, though.
