Only the CF-Card slot! Booting on an arm almost never involves a boot sector on disk. It tends to have settings in some internal flash that contains the kernel and ramdisk and settings to use. Perhaps if you mentioned which machine you have someone would happen to know what the boot process on it is. It is a LH7A404 Evaluation Board from NXP/Philips which has only the CF-Card Reader attached and if I power the couple up, I see the LED blinking that it try to read the CF-Card. Unter BSD I have a working Image which I can write to the CF-Card and it boots but my LH7 is a little bit weird with Linux Can you tell me, what I must exactly modify, that the LH7 find the kernel to bootup?

armel repository news
Hi armel packages are now migrating to testing, so anyone using the EABI port should add a line to /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian lenny main and you probably want to keep deb http://ftp.debian-ports.org/debian unstable main deb http://ftp.debian-ports.org/debian unreleased main too, until the main repository catches up with the extra packages that those repositories have. I've also created a trivial repository of the 45 armel packages that I've built but which are not present in lenny or sid or debian-ports, some because they were build dependencies I had to make to compile other things, others that had never been tried on armel and some that are the successful outcome of test builds when simply adding armel to the Architectures lines. That can be accessed by adding deb http://simplemachines.it/debian armel-sid/ and there is also an html index of the available packages under that URL Special thanks to SimpleMachines for hosting this. I've now completed systematic checks for packages that were not enabled in debian/control (or similar) for armel but should have been, including the not listed in Packages:/Architectures: lines problem, and there are now bug reports filed for all of them. All the armel-problematic source packages that I know about now have a paragraph in wiki.debian.org/ArmEabiProblems giving a first analysis of the problem together with their relative importance due to other things depending on them. Getting the armel port into shape now consists of two waiting games and one action: - waiting until all packages already known to work have been built and included in the main archive - waiting until new versions are uploaded in response to the bug reports (all pending ones are also listed in the Problems page) - fixing the package-specific problems listed. My own time on this project is limited, but I can provide access to armel hardware for anyone wishing to help with the last of these three.
