Hi,
the hackers at OpenEmbedded are almost ready to ship a new set of special kexec-enabled 2.6 kernels for all Zaurus machine supported: c7x0 (SL-C7x0 - SL-C860) akita (SL-C1000) spitz (SL-C3xx) tosa (SL-6xxx) collie (SL5500) poodle (SL5600) These special-purpose kernels are small enough to be flashed on NAND and feature a frambefuffer graphical menu for the selection of the boot media. Multipartitioned cards and lot of filesystems supported. Kernel and cmdline reside now in /boot. THIS IS THE LONG AWAITED SOLUTION FOR BOOTING DIFFERENT DISTROS FROM SD/CF Release is scheduled for end of December. Stay tuned! Ant |
