What about U-Boot? For example, I posted a patch to make U-Boot able to load kernels from above 4 GB on SDHC cards: https://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/openmoko-kernel/2009-March/009573.html I will, time permitting, post more patches for things like - automatic kernel size detection for NAND flash. - reiserfs support (just needs to be enabled, AFAIK). - reducing the time you need to hold POWER to get to the menu. Also, recent test results https://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/2009-March/044553.html suggest that it is probably possible to bring up the boot menu with reduced backlight even when only 100 mA is available. -- Rask Ingemann Lambertsen Danish law requires addresses in e-mail to be logged and stored for a year
