I've just given the v2 release a try --- impressive stuff! The download Just Worked. No more faffing around with serial downloads every time I want to boot the thing, hurrah. It's also really nice to have a real boot loader. Plus, thanks to the magic of jffs2 there's an astonishing amount of root file system space...
A few minor quibbles:
- Busybox's loadkmap is very stupid and can't cope with my ASCII keymap table. (It also wants to refer to the obsolete /dev/vc/0.) I can't figure out how to compile my keymap, or even if such a concept makes sense these days.
- Is there an ipkg feed available where I can get iwconfig? I've tried the same feed that I use for my NSLU2, but it's not compatible. The statically compiled version I built myself (I couldn't make a dynamically compiled version to work) is over five megabytes. Ho hum.
- OpenEmbedded wants to rebuild monotone's roster cache. Apparently this is going to take about four hours.
Currently I'm trying to build a working zd1201 driver for wireless networking, which is involving some entertaining messing around with cross compilers --- it's suprisingly hard to find a decent cross compiler package for Debian.
