Me as well. I think I want to see if I can get a 2.6.0 kernel to run on x86 without an mmu. Potentially that could be very nice size reduction wise. And to really get it useful I need to put in the extra work to get kexec into the kernel. I'm almost there, but I am currently distracted with freebios2 and the Opteron port. Now that there is a good general purpose solution to small 256KB ROMS. I don't feel bad about pursue a solution that is only useful for 512KB ROMS and above. A very compelling reason is that hardware is getting increasingly interesting, and needs more drivers etc. Though given how things are going I am half tempted to do things like write a mini TCP stack that is closer to 10K than 100K.
