For kexecboot (not for flashing) there is no need to have it ext2, could be ext3, ext4, even fat if it's just a kernel w/out rootfs. >Also!

For kexecboot on collie *only* : you should be able to boot your 'OpenZaurus' image resident in nand once you follow this steps: 1) install OpenZaurus 2) flash kexecboot kernel 3) create a small (few mb) /boot partition on SD/CF 4) copy the OpenZaurus (or a 2.4 kernel) in /boot and rename it zImage 5) create /boot/boot.cfg: DEFAULT=OpenZaurus LABEL=OpenZaurus KERNEL=/boot/zImage APPEND=console=ttySA0,115200n8 console=tty1 noinitrd rw root=/dev/mtdblock2 rootfstype=jffs2 debug This is the same trick we used trying to boot older (2.4 Cacko) images on Zaurus: unfortunately on models with resizable partitions there is an BIG problem being the target 2.4. kernel cannot correctly get the atag/cmdline mtdparts passed by kexec. Result: mtdparts misdetection. Old kernels had patches to be able to receive the bootparams from the bootloader.
