It should - if it doesn't, then you did something wrong.

I misuderstood.  The blank is while kbl-kexec loads, yes.

By design - buildrom works on a macro level, not a individual file level.
It uses the existance of the final binary to determine if it needs to rebuild
or not, not the individual .c files.  Thats why the olpcflash-clean target
exists.

Ok.  That makes sense.  I thought I saw the linuxbios part of that
attempts to detect when you have make a change to the config file and
try to rebuild.  I extrapolated that the other targets would do the
same.

So is the following is true?

When do a get pull you either need to clean and rebuild the entire
tree or you have to look at the diffstat and make pkg-clean on every
package that has changed in the tree.

If so then we probally need to document it somewhere and have a reminder.

No - bootmenu needs 'ESC' to pop up the boot screen.  The keypad worked by
luck because if numlock is off, they issue ESC commands which are enough
to bring up the menu.  I'm not sure where you got the numbers thing.

I got the numbers because the previous loader we had before bootmenu
took numbers to select the boot option and  the linuxrc script checks
for return codes  0 1 2 3  or  -1.  I made a bad assumption that
bootmenu would do the same.   When presing the number keys didn't work
I started looking as to why.
I saw the ESC in the code and knowing that the keypad does an escape I
jumped to 123 on the keypad.  Since it just "worked" I didn't really
look at the code hard enough to see I was wrong.  My bad that I didn't
verify my scan codes.  Thanks for the correction.

enter to select it.  Anything else that works is just plain luck.  The source
code is quite clear on this.

At 3:30am, I admit,  my clarity was suffering.  I probably should have
quit before then.  So cool.  None of this is an issue then.
