I had built an armhf image using an old apt-get trick where I did a
download-only on my desktop and then copied the files. (I used to do
this long ago when I only had dialup at home).

I get similar messages but when I configured the wireless network,
it all seems to work fine. This was doing it all manually, running
wpa_supplicant etc from the command-line.

One issue I do get is that unprivileged users can't do any network
related stuff. A quick search indicates that this is perhaps related to
an Android kernel option. Apparently adding users to an aid_inet should
fix this but it doesn't seem to.

What kernel is this 3.0.8+ one that we have? I had tried building the
lichee/v2.6.36 and despite coping the fw_bcm4329.bin file from the
allwinner/v2.6.26 branch, I got errors related to that module. I was
using arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc (Debian 4.4.5-8) 4.4.5 from emdebian. It'd
be really good to have a copy of the config file used to build it to
(or compile it with support for /proc/config.gz).

Has anyone managed to mount the Android internal nand discs from Ubuntu
or Debian? Looking in /dev/block, there are some loop and ram devices
which I can't mount. /proc/meminfo reports only 313940kB RAM: any idea
where the rest of it is: ram discs, video memory?
