Diablo initfs is too big for N800 ( ~2.0 MB) and image is about .5 MB bigger. I'm trying to make a stripped down diablo kernel so I can use the battery information in FTD properly (updated BME ;)) I've already posted the modules from the initfs, for the ipv6 :). All I need to do is edit that ipv6-enable script... Marius, I found out about flash-and-reboot and I was the first one in the thread to flash the kernel :p

The repository you found was supposed to be access restricted all the time... It was only supposed to be accessible to selected testers at this point. So you guys really got lucky! The thing I didn't want to promise (and still can't) is that we take away the access restriction eventually for Chinook users. Did any of you guys notice that the kernel and initfs are not updated? I forgot to mention "flash-and-reboot" in my original steps. But I think flash-and-reboot might not be able to flash the initfs on all devices. Whoa!

Fortunately, we don't really need them. :p Starting here and carrying on for the next 10 pages, we have the saga of the first ~12 hours of Diablo in the wild! Thanks again, for letting us know it was possible. Thanks for the teaser. :) I understand your desire to announce the repository, and that you can’t make any promises.

But to be honest, i always use a fresh install at my ubuntu box. Had bad experiences with that dist-upgrade in the past :( it really depends how much you have customized your system from the default settings..
