sheeva/dream 3.3.7 new kernel available

[cbxbiker61]

3.3.7 is now available.

For everything besides Dreamplugs:
sudo ./README-PLUG-UPDATE.sh 3.3.7 --nandkernel (installs to nand)
or:
sudo ./README-PLUG-UPDATE.sh 3.3.7 --rootkernel (installs to /boot)

For Dreamplugs:
sudo ./README-DREAM-UPDATE.sh 3.3.7 (installs to /boot)

Kernel and modules are available from the following locations:

http://www.plugapps.com/mirror/with-linux/
http://www.xilka.com/sheeva/

Features systemd, e-sata, dmcrypt, IPV6, CIFS, NFS4, EXT3, EXT4, JFS, XFS, FUSE(for ntfs-3g), UBIFS, usb-serial, uvcvideo, iptables, appletalk, bluetooth, v4l and ppp.

Both this kernel and 3.3.6 fail to boot on my sheeva plug --nand_kernel option. You are missing all the MTD options in the kernel config

[cbxbiker61]

It's fixed now in release 2 of 3.3.7.

Two observed problems on a dreamplug:

1. once the audio device gets touched, the kernel emits a continuous spew of "delay: estimated X, actual Y" errors; a thread on alsa-devel (http://mailman.alsa-project.org/pipermail/alsa-devel/2012-April/051345.html) touched on the introduction of the message without resolution.

2. Null dereference in ap8xxxx; hangs the boot for a while, might make wireless unusable (haven't tried) but otherwise nonfatal:

If you have one of the newer Dreamplugs, uap8xxx is not an applicable module to use.
