I already have a kexecboot kernel. I am presently trying out running a system from a CF card. The problem with this approach is that suspend resume doesnt work and the battery life reduces drastically. I guess the script you are talking about is ipkg-link. I used to use it in pdaxrom. I guess i can take a look at it. Would you know why is it discouraged.
