Unfortunately, no one has been able to provide the missing test kernel
bin packages listed above.

So, here are the steps to extract the current edo test kernel running on
your touch.

Login to the touch as root with ssh from a unix machine or putty on
windows.

You will need to enable ssh in the Settings->Advanced->Remote
login->Enable SSH menu, if you have not already enabled it.

ssh -l root touch.ip.add.ress
default password is 1234

Make sure touch is running edo kernel. 

# *uname -a*
Linux SqueezeboxTouch 2.6.26.8-rt16-332-g5849bfa #1[usb] PREEMPT RT Sun
Apr 1 23:12:00 BST 2012 armv6l GNU/Linux


Provide the output from uname -a along with the kernel image file.

# *uname -a > /tmp/kernel-usb.uname*

Also, provide the kernel description you installed originally, if you
remember, so I can use that for the description in the edo kernel menu.


Extract the edo kernel from flash.  File includes the entire 2MB mtd
partition, not just the kernel zImage file.

# *dd if=/dev/mtdblock:kernel > /tmp/kernel-usb.img*


Use scp from the touch or winscp from another computer to copy both
files /tmp/kernel-usb.uname and /tmp/kernel-usb.img from the touch.

# *scp -p /tmp/kernel-usb.uname user@hostname:/tmp*
# *scp -p /tmp/kernel-usb.img user@hostname:/tmp*

Add both files to a zip and provide a download link to it.

I should be able to recreate a kernel bin file from the zip and add it
to the kernel updater menu.  I have successfully recreated the default
kernel bin, test #11 and #12 packages.  Hopefully it's the same for the
missing ones.


I'll note these are untested until a brave user has tried them and
confirms it worked.  If it fails, you will likely need to factory reset
your touch to recover from the failure.
