Will either kernel work on a Banana Pi?

Hi,

With the recent CVE-2016-5195 (aka "Dirty Cow"), we bumped the armhfp kernels to the following version : 4.4.26 (both for "generic" and rpi2/rpi3)

Before releasing those to mirror.centos.org (and also sign those) we'd like some people to test the updated/unsigned kernels (feedback wanted !)

• create the /etc/yum.repos.d/ .repo file pointing to corresponding

repo, depending on your board :

• http://dev.centos.org/centos/7/kernel/armhfp/kernel-generic/
• http://dev.centos.org/centos/7/kernel/armhfp/kernel-rpi2/

as an example, here is how it would look like :

[kernel-generic] name=armhfp kernel generic baseurl=http://dev.centos.org/centos/7/kernel/armhfp/kernel-generic/ gpgcheck=0 enabled=1

or

[kernel-rpi2] name=armhfp rpi2 kernel baseurl=http://dev.centos.org/centos/7/kernel/armhfp/kernel-rpi2/ gpgcheck=0 enabled=1

• now "yum clean all ; yum update"

PS : for rpi2/3, the system will automatically use the updated kernel on next reboot PS2 : for "generic" (so cubietruck, etc) you still need to :

• modify /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf to reflect new kernel

PS3 : depending on the image you're using for cubietruck/bananapi, the /boot space is probably just too small, so dracuty will complain about not able to probably build the -rescue- initramfs (which isn't needed) : just be sure that kernel and initramfs were built before rebooting, and you can also remove the undeeded files in /boot : rm uIm* uInit*
