1)
Has anyone ever been making a kernel package for the Nokia 770 which can
be installed there with Application Installer rather than deploying
'zImage' of new kernel onto the device?
Probably not. It is not straightforward at all, maybe even imposible.
You would definitely need root privileges for messing with MTD (flash)
partitions.
2)
Is it accomplishable at all to have a few kernel images on the Nokia at
the same time and choose one using a boot loader as it usually happens
with normal Linux mashines?
I think it can be done but not easily. The bootloader canot choose
between multiple kernels and there is not space dedicated to multiple
kernels. One solution is kexec

BTW, please do not cross post to multiple list, just pick one randomly
:-) It is hard to track mutliple replies going to multiple lists.
