Please add the support for MD replacement CF cards of different brands and sizes. Default reflashing procedure doesn't support them, so after replacing my MD to 1 Gb TS1GCF45 I had to reflash manually - it was in Pdax for c3000 topic...

status update : I've made a few trys using altboot but OZ and pdaXrom's are not buildt the same way (no init.sysvinit nor chroot in pdaXrom's /sbin dir), beside OZ and pdaXrom not using the same glibc makes altboot unusable as any pdaXrom's binary used will segfault (maybe we'd be able to use it once it will be able to kexec by itself, or is there a way to configure it so it can do it ?)
Else I'm currently working on having uboot working on my c3000 ... more news soon

That's great news sashz!
The last I heard, performance of the pxa overlay driver wasn't as good as bvdd under 2.4. Is this still the case? |

might want to have a look at this:
http://www.piro.hopto.org/~piro/pukiwiki/p...1%A1C3000%5D%5D it appears that this boot loader is based on the latest 2.6.x kernel and is able to chain boot 2.4 and 2.6 systems... |
