Upgrading C3000/cacko To Tetsu Kernel

[Stubear]

If the installation hapepns really fast and it tells you to reset then the installation script cant find the kernel image, from memory it has a different name with the Testu/sharp installer than the Cacko installer.

Beware however that instlling the Testu kernel on a C1000 with Cacko installed will mean that Cacko can't boot, as the Testsu kernel doesn't have support for the cramfs (or squashfs - memory has gone) built in and the Cacko rom needs it to mount the /usr image filesystem.

Each time I read about this tetsu kernel thingie, the upgrade-cells in me get pumped up and I want to try it out.

I'm using C1000 (akita) ... with Cacko 1.23 full. I presume I don't need this upgrade as it is already in 1.23 full right? ... right?

(Note to self ... if it ain't broken ... upgrade it! ... hahaha)

I've been wondering about this also.
I think v18h is the latest for the C3100 and Cacko hasn't been updated in over a year.
I opened "kernel-modules_v18b_arm.ipk" in winrar and the dates are May 16, 2006.
I'm not sure that I want to try this because of previous troubles I had when trying tetsu kernel v18b in Cacko.

Let me repeat it again, the Tetsu special kernel is a patched kernel for the Sharp ROM to fix some kernel bugs and improve performance. Cacko 1.23 has the same patches (and more) applied to its kernel so the Tetsu kernel is not required on Cacko (the only exception is the Cacko beta for C3000 which is not a full Cacko implementation)

Yes meanie you are right but in tetsu's page

the latest date for kernel updates is 2006/5/16 while cacko was last released on 2005/11/1 (https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=15821) so there is possibly some improvements that can be gained esp with the fastfpe implementation.
For a mere mortal like me it is impossible to merge cacko's and tetsu's kernels (new)

You're right Meanie, I also made a mistake in my post above:
I said: " opened "kernel-modules_v18b_arm.ipk" in winrar
Actually, I opened, kernel-modules_v18h_arm.ipk
The pic shows v18h
I'm not going to try this.
Also I don't have a clue what "fastfpe" is, that tovarish mentioned.
EDIT: I googled, and fastfpe = fast floating point emulation. (too many acronyms to remember)
