Well this 10.10 looks like a nogo for me :( I dont want to loose so much (Nitdroid,Debian,Neopwn) just because of the u-boot. Hope there will be a solution someday ....

Will this work with multiboot, and if so, what would the option file look like?

uboot is the solution, Every embedded device is using uboot now.

Lunat have you looked at the beagleboard wiki any? Theres nice instructions on how to build a kernel with DSP and SGX for ubuntu

i had a look at meego as well: it looks like they have SGX and configure it via rc script "pvrsrvinit"... but priority is telephone, sms, calls ...

What card do you recommend for Ubuntu (regarding capacity and speed)? I currently have Kingston 8GB class 4, is that enough?

I spent all day yesterday trying to back-port drivers to 9.10, but no luck, It depends on the new kernel to much.

Could someone clear this up for me, the wikis say the A8 is armv7, but because of our broken THUMB support we can only run armv6?

Also considering the Ubuntu 10.10 image is armv7 optimized, should we build our own kernel image without thumb (if possible)?
We probably should build a root filesystem image ether way because we can make the image alot smaller by leaving out alot of the pointless/self-reinstall-able packages.

You mean it's not worth it to buy a new card? I was planning to buy some class 10-enabled one (8GB or 16GB), but now it doesn't seem I need to...
