In my experiments with ARMedSlack on a Seagate DockStar, I remember using a mkboot utility to combine a kernel+initrd into a single blob that u-Boot could boot. I don't remember the exact syntax and I remember a gotcha or two (such as, the kernel had to be uncompressed) but I did eventually get it to work. Perhaps such a combined blob (two actually, one for the kernel+installer and one for the kernel+initrd) could be included in the distro for use on the RPi without any changes to the rest of the ARMedSlack distro? It appears that U-Boot was recently ported to RPi. _______________________________________________ ARMedslack mailing list ARMedslack@lists.armedslack.org http://lists.armedslack.org/mailman/listinfo/armedslack
