Palm Pre Makefile fails to flash kernel

Reported by: bobo Owned by: mrmoku
Priority: major Milestone:
Component: SHR Image Version: SHR-unstable
Keywords: Cc:

Description

The command "make flash-kernel" stucks at some point. A symlink is created in /boot/uImage -> /boot/uImage-palmpre.bin but this kernel is not available. This leads an error message from the palm device after trying to boot SHR:  http://palm.com/ROM and it is not possible to boot the palm pre.

manual fix:
novaterm into bootie,

setenv bootfile uImage-2.6.24-palm-joplin-3430
setenv bootargs "root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootwait ro init=/sbin/init.backup.bootr"
 fsboot

then, manually copy the kernel image:

novacom put file://boot/uImage-palmpre.bin < uImage-palmpre.bin
