obtain the "working current" zImage, and placed it onto a<br>FAT-formatted SDcard.<br><br>by putting the mid-linux SDK zImage onto the flash instead (which<br>requires a reboot to actually run of course) i was able to cause the<br>
system to kernel panic (with a lovely usual uninitialised LCD "mess"),<br>then after a hard-reset restored the original kernel, and demonstrated<br>that the machine is operational (as much as it ever can be after<br>
having messed up libc6 *sigh*).<br><br>now, whilst it's now proven to be technically possible to change the<br>kernel and possibly also change the u-boot as well, doing so probably<br>iiisn't the smartest thing to do right now.<br>
<br>i'm going to start kicking chitech soon. adam will be back from nepal<br>soon, so will have more than just EDGE mobile phone internet access,<br>and can also start pressuring them.<br><br>l.<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>
