Hello all,
I always used to boot my poodle (Zaurus SL-5600) with altboot because
the small memory doesn't fit the GPE image. However, the
altboot-console-image doesn't start altboot at boot anymore, neither the
autobuild images, nor self-built images. Even though I have the console
at my disposal, I haven't succeeded in launching altboot by hand. This
renders my zaurus practically unusable (well, I am able to use the
console).
Does anyone know how to launch altboot after a reboot? Has this to be
considered a bug?
Altboot is deprecated in angstrom and we're moving to kexecboot to have
a cleaner way of doing things like booting from another medium.
There's a poodle kexecboot kernel available at:
http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/demo/kexecboot/
Copy the original zImage to /boot of the preferred medium and flash
zImage-kexecboot (might need to rename it first so the flasher picks it
up) as usual.
regards,
Koen
