the kernel-cmdline points to the NAND. here is the kernel-cmdline I used to start the cacko 1.23 on the internal NAND console=ttyS0 root=/dev/mtdblock2 mtdparts=sharpsl-nand:71...@0k(smf),327...@7168k(root),-(home) jffs2_orphaned_inodes=delete EQUIPMENT=0 LOGOLANG=1 DEFYEAR=2006 LOGO=1 LAUNCH=q Baz -----Original Message----- From: angstrom-distro-users-boun...@linuxtogo.org [mailto:angstrom-distro-users-boun...@linuxtogo.org]on Behalf Of Bernd Schemmer Sent: Wednesday, February 04, 2009 1:51 PM To: angstrom-distro-users@linuxtogo.org Subject: Re: [Angstrom-distro-users] Kexecboot kernels for testing available >>I do not know if this will help but what I have done was to use a small >>portion of the sd card to point to the internal installation of cacko 1.23. >>Maybe this is a method to start >>the internal Angstrom/OPIE install How?
