what is the exactly problem about removing the slot for kernel1, removing slot for kernel2, creating a while slot in where i'd like to put my kernel+kexekboot-app+ramroofs-utils ? (the problem is: 1.6Mb is not enough) is it possible ? if so, how to ? > You are not forced to use slot1 kernel as your primary kernel.

It would be much less work than programming the bootloader. well, ok, i was thinking about the "u-boot" port for akita ... which has a lot of issues and no fb support ... anyway what i have reported in the previous email is the proof of concept of what it's currently running on my host development workstation: it's the prototype of the /sbin/init i will put inside a kernel, it's an app similar to the kexeboot but it has no graph support, it' only text console, and it's all netbooting oriented ... (but it can also mount microdrive, sd card, and boot from them ... or download a kernel from the net and boot it ... or download apps (example fsck, badblocks etc ... and exec it) it's the same scheme of kexecboot: kernel + userspace kexec app i am developing it for my PPC board, but it's pretty easy to port it to zaurus/akita _______________________________________________ Zaurus-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/zaurus-devel
