I was just wondering what the kernel status of the TS-7800 is - 
particularly, are all of the necessary patches integrated into the 
mailine kernel?

What, if any, are the proprietary TS modules that are binary-only?

Also, I was wondering if there is a suggested method to replace the kernel.

For a while, I was looking into the userspace fconfig utility available 
here:

pointed out in this message:

But i wasn't having any luck with it.

I remember that there might be a slight problem where the flash 
partition needed to be locked/unlocked, but the mtd driver doesn't do 
that, and it would be too ugly to do it in userspace.

The original author solved this by keeping his redboot configuration on 
an EEPROM. He was using a completely different board though.

Has anyone had any success with the userspace fconfig utility?


Cheers,

Chris
