In the small ext2 partition I placed the image.nfo, kernel-cmdline and zImage

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
Thanks .. but that does not work with the new kexecboot --- looks like
it also ignores the kernel-cmdline file

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?

Hi,
cool! Very nice and the new S and R options are very useful.
But unfortunately the new kexecboot still does not find Angstrom/OPIE
(2007.12) on the internal RAM of my CL760. It detects the partitions on
the SD card (also Angstrom/OPIE 2007.12, Angstrom 2007.12 with X, and
Ubuntu) and I can boot them but it does not detect the OS on the
internal RAM ...
After booting from SD card there are some messages in the dmesg output
regarding erase blocks but I'm sure if this has something todo with the
problem:
<5>Using static partision definition
<5>Creating 1 MTD partitions on "sharpsl-flash":
<5>0x00120000-0x007f0000 : "Boot PROM Filesystem"

<5>0x03c00000-0x08000000 : "Home Filesystem"

Is there anything I can do to solve or debug the error?

Hi,
There are kexecboot kernels available for various machine at:
http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/demo/kexecboot/
Flash (or boot) the kernels as a regular kernel and on the next boot
you should be greeted with a boot selection screen. It looks for
/boot/zImage file to mark something as bootable.
Kexecboot is very usefull if you are using
http://amethyst.openembedded.net/~koen/narcissus/ to make images for
CF/SD cards.
regards,
Koen
