I finally have something that boots up to a console on the OLPC. Nothing GUI yet.
A different question for others if anyone has seen this before - I have put the firmware for the network card at /lib/firmware. However, when the module is insmodded, I see a 'init' message that says "Requesting firmware - usb8388.bin" - and then it fails. Where does Android look for the firmware? Anyone know?
