Extended kernel-sources for Nokia N900
++ Con Kolivas' BFS CPU scheduler
--------------------------------------
* Downloading the sources:
- apt-get source kernel-power
+ apt-get source kernel-bfs
* Building the kernel packages:
* Modifying the kernel configuration:
in the kernel top directory do:
- cp debian/rx51power_defconfig .config
+ cp debian/rx51-bfs_defconfig .config
make menuconfig
- cp .config debian/rx51power_defconfig
+ cp .config debian/rx51-bfs_defconfig
make mrproper
and the rebuild it again
