Hi Laurent,

For a maverick userspace, on the panda board download and run this script:

wget http://rcn-ee.net/deb/maverick/v2.6.37-x1/install-me.sh

/bin/bash install-me.sh

The script will then download that version, install it and backup the older ubuntu uImage and uInitrd's on the mmc card:

uImage_old
uInitrd_old

Notes on the Known issues, with 2.6.37 mainline..

The dvi/dss2 stuff doesn't work yet.. So you can only use the serial port and ssh..
Console serial is: "/dev/ttyO2"
Onboard ethernet is: usb0

Annoying kernel error that i'm currently debugging: "smsc95xx 1-1.1:1.0: usb0: kevent 2 may have been dropped"
(it only seems to stall the usb0 network for just a moment but so far this week it's recovered every time)

An extra note with ubuntu userspace.. if you upgrade the userspace and ubuntu pushes a newer kernel, it will run a script to isntall a new uImage/uInitrd combo..

To block it:

cat > /etc/flash-kernel.conf <<EOF
#!/bin/sh
UBOOT_PART=/dev/mmcblk0p1

DIST=\$(lsb_release -cs)

case "\$DIST" in
    lucid)
            exit 0
        ;;
    maverick)
            FLASH_KERNEL_SKIP=yes
        ;;
    natty)
            FLASH_KERNEL_SKIP=yes
        ;;
esac

EOF
