Extract the kernel.

Restore rootfs & optfs then shutdown.

Then use Flasher to flash the kernel only.
The most promising way I tried so far was the following. The 'zimage' FIASCO kernel image I grabbed from the webpage suggested and extracted it using the archive-manager

Code:
sudo flasher-3.5 -F zImage-2.6.28.10-power50.fiasco --flash-only=kernel -f -R
This resulted in
flasher v2.5.2 (Oct 21 2009)

Image 'kernel', size 1741 kB
Version 2.6.28.10-power50
Suitable USB device not found, waiting.
USB device found found at bus 002, device address 008.
Found device RX-51, hardware revision 2204
NOLO version 1.4.14
Version of 'sw-release': RX-51_2009SE_21.2011.38-1.002_PR_002
Sending kernel image (1741 kB)...
100% (1741 of 1741 kB, avg. 27216 kB/s)
Flashing kernel... done.
However, when I try booting all system bitmaps are missing - instead everything onscreen is replaced with a '[]' square character

Since matters were totally messed up by that point, I tried a variation on flash to stock...

Code:
sudo flasher-3.5 -F RX-51_2009SE_10.2010.13-2.VANILLA_PR_EMMC_MR0_ARM.bin -f -R

sudo flasher-3.5 -F RX-51_2009SE_20.2010.36-2.002_PR_COMBINED_002_ARM.bin -f -R

sudo flasher-3.5 -F zImage-2.6.28.10-power50.fiasco --flash-only=kernel -f -R
to try and get a working barebones system with the power50 kernel but no dice ... boot loop

What am I missing? Thx
