Re: OpenZaurus 3.5.4.1 Alpha1 release

Justin,

I've thought this over and come to the realization that this doesn't
help me too much.  The reason is is that I need to come up with a way to
mount the disk image from within kexec which I am not 100% sure is
possible.  I suppose I could extract the bootstrap image somewhere on
hda2 and reference it from kexec.  I can probably make it work, but do
you know where I can find a kexec kernel that will work fine on spitz?
I was looking and I'm suspicious of what I found.

Thanks,
Mark
