Now I've managed to get Armed Slack working on an Olimex SAM9-L9260 Board (http://www.olimex.com/dev/sam9-L9260.html). Got this thing very cheap from eBay. It features a 180 MHz Atmel AT91SAM9260 CPU, 64 MB RAM and 512 MB Flash. I've used some Atmel tool to program boot loader and kernel to the NAND and then I could boot the mini rootfs from an USB stick. Biggest problem was: The Olimex board is supported by vanilla kernel, but it won't work unless you'll add the patch from Olimex homepage, too. This mademe headaches for some time :-) BTW: I've used the toolchain from Codesourcery to compile the kernel. Now I wonder if I should buy an IGEPv2 board. It seems very promising. This indeed would be a nice thing to start a Salix port. Does anybody have experience with this one? I did not do any more research on the IGEPv2, but perhaps somebody knows how to program a boot loader and a kernel on it? It features a micro SD slot which I would use as data or even as root partition.
