The default is 2MB, but it's a config option. > Or that it requires the kernel on a separate partition (which must be > fat?)? No, I don't think so. Where did you get that idea? My kernels live in /boot on the ext3 partition I'm booting. They can live on a separate partition, and it can read from fat, but neither are requirements. > But this begs the question: could U-boot be improved to deal with the > current requirements of the users? The two issues above could be solved by providing a more friendly configuration tool. The slightly slower boot and resume probably can't be changed due to the different philosophy. _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
