It looks like that the kernel is in the 'linux-image-2.6.31.14.20-efikamx' package: http://packages.efikamx.info/pool/main/l/linux-source-2.6.31.14.20-efikamx/ It's a .deb file and if you extract it in the /boot directory you'll find "vmlinuz-2.6.31.14.20-efikamx". There's no separate initrd. Whether this kernel would boot slackware root out of the box, I doubt it because armedslack-13.37 comes with the 2.6.38.4 kernel and armedslack-current with 2.6.39.4 but this is only my opinion. If you have an account on power developer you could do us a favour and ask there. About creating the boot.src and/or building the kernel from scratch: https://wiki.linaro.org/Boards/Efika The standard boot.src should be in the /boot partition of the SSD. > Though weather it is possible to use > armedslack's kernel/initrd or the > efika's ones I'm not sure. The kernels on armedslack repository are only for kirkwood and versatile. -- Ottavio A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
