Hi Eric,
Did you get lenny running correctly on TS7800?
I followed your steps until step 6, but then I ran the createmtdroot and now
I'm getting Segmentation Fault errors. How did you copied it to memory?
Sorry, didn't understand how you copied it manually. Could you provide more
information?
Thanks,
Emmanuelle
