> Done with a kexecboot kernel picked from > http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/demo/kexecboot/ Old but 'should just work' Actually, SL-C700 seems having problems with some kernel options (cpufreq). But the reported failure was an immediate lock after flashing kernel, a.k.a 'did not reboot'
> In the NAND I installed the console only image. > The kexecboot menu shows only the SD card entry. Why NAND install not shown? In fact, updater.sh requires legacy jffs2 images. The one provided by Narcissus cannot be flashed by updater.sh (initrd.bin needs 16bytes cruft at the beginning, removed by updater.sh). We are working on this legacy... Finally, remember c700 only has 32mb space on mtd2 partition. > In my SD card (formatted as ext2) I installed the opie image. > When selecting the SD card entry, nothing happens, zaurus just freezes Ah, did not try stable since long time.

Kexecboot passes the root= and rootfstype= parameter to the launched kernel and in fstab of the images you see "rootfs / auto defaults 1 1" Plus, for each bootable partition you can configure boot.cfg in order to have rootfs elsewhere. >Furthermore, how to ensure coherent kernel version between kexecboot >installation and (future) test image? Well, really you shouldn't care too much. You can boot any 2.6 (recent) kernel with old 2.6.26 or 2.6.3x kexecboot (actually in testing-phase)..
