Hi guys,
I've already tried to get help from you here on my issues but there has
been no answer so I guessed that my previous message was a bit messy and
contained an excess information to be posted on this mailing list.
So now very concretely my questions are:
1)
Has anyone ever been
1)
Has anyone ever been making a kernel package for the Nokia 770 which can
be installed there with Application Installer rather than deploying
'zImage' of new kernel onto the device?
Probably not. It is not straightforward at all, maybe even imposible.
You would definitely need root

For using the application installer, all files will be written to under
the /var/lib/install directory.
The application installer tools is like
dpkg --force-not-root --root=/var/lib/install --install package.deb
It is unless you want the kernel image to be placed there, at least I
wouldn't

There even seems to be something done for ARM

Kernel compilation
procedure it's not straightforward itself so that would be nice to let
those people use our kernel. But as it seems to be the only way is to
make 'zImage' available for them.
Well, you can give them kernel binary but they currently need to flash
it

That's pity. The reason for I'd like to have a possibilty to create
such a package is that I'd like to provide end users with new kernel
which is needed to support our applications for the Nokia 770.
I don't want to discourage you, but the Linux kernel
