...and this, ladies and gents, is why I don't intend on supporting boot methods other than Ubiboot (although, it must work both ways!)

I recognize though that some people legitimately prefer not having Ubiboot - and I'll respect that choice.

For those who need a HOWTO:

Installation without Ubiboot
(UNSUPPORTED)

On the device:
# tar xvzf [DOWNLOADED FILE].tar.gz -C /
# depmod -a 2.6.32.61-plus

Copy the zImage file in the [DOWNLOADED FILE]'s /boot directory to a location on your PC.

On a PC with Flasher installed:
# flasher -a [ROOTFS].bin -k [zImage] -f --flash-only=kernel

Done!


I was intending to make a deb to automagically install the new kernel, run depmod, and sed the Ubiboot entry to boot it.

I've been busy the past few weeks though - college and life in general's been like a whirlwind trying to finish up before Xmas break starts

When I get the time, I'll hopefully fix up the broken Debianization.

EDIT:
I've uploaded a new source patchset - this one applies straight over vanilla 2.6.32.61!
It saves you 1 command and about 16MB of uncompressed patch
