I did have a go a few months back to get the stuff from Matt Welland's
site compiled and to run on the helio and the helio emulator.  Can't quite
remember where I got to but I do remember things often hanging at the
freeing kernel memory stage....I got pretty stuck trying to work out how
the kernel gets from a single task running in kernel mode to the first
task (sh) running in user mode.

I haven't got much time atm but I would like to see the helio working -
can you put your 'best attempt' tree on a site somewhere?  I'll try and
have a look at the w/end.  Have you tried it with the emulator?  I'd quite
like to get that going sinc flashing the helio is such a pain.

Cheers, Chris
