Lex,

First of all, thanks for your answers. Here is the answer to your first
message.

I tried

$ python make-bootbundle.py -o "outfile.exe" "haret-0.5.2.exe"
"zImage-kexecboot-2.6.26-r12-splitz.bin"
"initramfs-bootmenu-image-hx4700.cpio.gz" "startup.txt.bootimage"

It results in a "outfile.exe" but my Hx4700 seems not to like it at all:

---
HaRET boot
Shutting down hardware
Turning off MMU...
In preloader
PSR=600000df
Tags relocated
Kernel relocated
Initrd relocated
Jumping to Kernel...
---
and does not anything of more.

You can see that I tried with the 2.6.26-r12 image, which was really
difficult to find on the Internet. I had however modified the
startup.txt.bootimage consequently (to adopt the new kernel).

I also tried with 2.6.21, but it fails too: it begins booting, then writes
No bootable devices found.
Insert bootable device!
R: Reboot S: Rescan devices

Why?

Hi Merciadri,

Thanks for your reply.  I think it's time I tried to make my own .exe 
ramdisk/kernel/loader combination, so I can test if all this still 
works.  Sadly, I have deleted many of my files and the Angstrom project 
have moved their files around, too.

Good, I still have this and have put it here, temporarily.

Angstrom used to have a stable 2007.12 directory on their servers, but I 
was not able to find it when I looked just now.  Since 2007.12 is 
deprecated in favour of newer images, much of the old stuff has 
disappeared.  This is why I think that I should see if it's still 
possible to build these 'boot bundles' with more recent images, from the 
Narcissus auto-builder.  Perhaps this system could be extended so that 
it could do these steps itself.

I'll have a look at this today, and see if I can make a boot bundle.

Cheers,

Lex.
