One less pleasant feature of this ipkg is that a freshly built rootfs image will still execute /usr/lib/ipkg/info/kernel-image-*.postinst which then wipes out the hard-coded /dev/mtd2.

Kernel upgrade by ipkg
This has been a long requested feature and its finally ready to be unleashed on the world. There is unfortunately a bug in the kernel, a workaround for this was introduced with the November 2007 snapshot. So before I release this capability I need to make sure everyone has the chance to upgrade their kernel. On Friday Dec 14th at approx 12:00 GMT I will push the change to make this happen into OE. Before this date you must make sure you have at least kernel 2.6.22.5-moko11+svnr3238-r10 on your device or you will suffer a lockup on boot/kernel-image upgrades.
