Subject: [Avila] No, the CF Driver is not a part of the vanilla kernel, nor is the driver for 
the sensors on the board (Temp, volt). There may be other patches that I 
can't remember off of the top of my head. Also, the latest BSP does not 
actually contain the 2.6 kernel provided from uCLinux nor the Snapgear 
kernel. It is a vanilla kernel that has been patched with all of the 
necessary patches to support the Avila platform (I know because I did about 
75% of the work for the latest BSP). So, if you took the vanilla 2.6.15 
kernel and did a diff with the one provided in the BSP, the result's would 
be all of the necessary patches to apply to any future 2.6 kernel's. If you 
would like to advance to the newest kernel, I would suggest doing this.

FYI, you can drop a vanilla kernel tree into the snapgear tree and 
succesfully build it, no need to reproduce your own userspace environment.

Thanks,
Chris Lang
