You see, we discovered that since some time the rootfs generated by Narcissus is not compatible anymore with old linux-rp-2.6.2x kernels (udev). I had to downgrade udev to 124 for testing: I successfully booted the images on c7x0 and others did on spitz. Tosa and colie are using kernels > 2.6.27 thus these machines should not have been affected by the udev issue...so basically we'd have to devine whether the culprit is the kernel or the rootfs....I personally guess the rootfs is almost sane. I'd be happy to upload some testing 2.6.34-rc3 linux-kexecboot kernels for all Zaurus models, even though 2.6.3x is not yet 100% on Zaurus. But remember: within linux-kexecboot, sound, usb, networking will be absolutely disregarded (only framebuffer and block devices are tested). If the machine boots it's just a matter of extending the kernel config and build the modules, etc.., possibly armonizing the features between machines: eventual failures booting a Narcissus or self-created rootfs.tar.gz will probably depend on broken kernel-driver or modules renaming. About x11-image, forget about it for the moment. There is still a lot of indecision with regard to xserver: some machines are using xserver-kdrive (tosa and collie use the latest xserver-kdrive-fbdev) while akita uses xserver-kdrive-1.300 which seems to be the last working one. Add to this that spitz is testing xorg-xserver....I'd be not surprised to hear 'hey...the screen is frozen, all black...' or similar nice stories...
