Incidentally, how is the ARM port getting on? Last I heard there was
some excitement over the Pandaboard and Beagleboard, but then it all
went quiet again.
I don't think any of my ARM devices are terribly suitable; the
highest-spec one is a Psion Netbook with 64MB RAM and a 190MHz SA1100
ARMv4 processor, but the next highest is an Amstrad eMailer e3 with 32MB
of RAM and a 150MHz ARM9TDMI ARMv4. I gather that Haiku needs somewhere
around 96MB to boot...
I found a report from 2009 that the ARM kernel *almost* worked, or at
least worked up to the point of showing the splash screen and dropping
into KDL; has anything happened since them?
