Even with the FASTFPE emulation, which probably will speed up the whole 770.I saw the console file redirection in the kernel config, was just wondering if there is a better way. Can I use the USB to serial convertor and ttyUSB0 to redirect the console output, and more important - how can i receive it
?

Still crashes the same however, and the DNS settings do not persist between sessions like the other settings I had changed did.
(/nit/bin/vi /default.prop ... or pull&push)

Solca, could you put the Linux kernel 2.6.28 with working WiFi driver online somewhere so we can use it on Maemo as well?

Probably not yet usable with Maemo

solca: are you already working on startup/shutdown, power management?
/nit/bin/busybox poweroff -f -n does the trick for shutdown, any better solution?

I just solder a tiny cable to the TX pad under the battery, GND can be anything in the chassis and both cables connected to a cheap USB to serial convertor dongle on my desktop/laptop based on the FTDI chip (ftdi_sio.ko driver). One has to be careful to use a dongle that matches the voltage on the NIT (3.3V) if not you fry your NIT. This help me a lot in debugging the initial kernels.
But earlier when I didn't have the serial console setup I just select the mini font for the framebuffer console so I can actually see much more output on the screen.

The WiFi driver doesn't work in Maemo because wlancond doesn't speak the mac80211 API so you can't create connections from the GUI although you can make it work from a shell using iwconfig and wpa_supplicant, manually.

I'm curious as to why you're using a bleeding edge kernel. What version do already-working Android phones use? It seems that an added variable is unnecessarily being introduced. Or am I missing something? Also, maybe the 2.6.27 Fremantle patches are compatible with Diablo. Do you see where I'm going? My opinion is that you should create a hybrid kernel based on already-running devices.
Does Android use an initfs? If not, maybe it should if it's going to run on Nokia tablets with 2 SDHC slots. Maybe you could more easily capture boot information. You should be able to create a hybrid initfs and bootmenu from the Diablo base. And although we want to be less embedded in the long run, I think talk about a grub-like boot partition is just another vaporware barrier to early usability. Sorry if I'm less informed than I should be; I'm just a proponent of walking before running.
