The approach has been again to use the OS2006 initfs for the 770, including the old kernel. Indeed in the previous round we first tried to use a newer kernel but that turned out to cause many problems - Joni has the details. We're close to releasing a new version of the hacker edition, at that point let's talk about this again. With that newer version working (userspace updated to the latest release for the N800 as much as possible) we can reconsider the use of the old initfs.
