Well, unfortunately yes, it's not there. Generally, bootloader should work consistently for all sufficiently supported on the kernel level devices, but it still requires testing, etc. I'm not sure if I find time to provide version for h5000 in the near time, as I'd rather work on new bootloader version for the upcoming Angstrom release which would solve most of the outstanding problems (like allowing seamless kernel upgrade). But if I'll have free time, I'll try to put up version for h5000. > > -- > Grigorios Prasinos > PhD candidate, Computer Engineering and Informatics Dept., U of > Patras, Greece -- Best regards, Paul mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Angstrom-distro-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/angstrom-distro-users
