Can I put the kernel, zImage, and fs.gz on JFFS2, and boot > the kernel from there? The answer to that question is entirely dependent on the bootloader you use. But at the moment, I think there are no bootloaders which support this. There are patches available for Compaq bootldr used on the iPAQ, which make it capable of loading a kernel from a JFFSv1 filesystem. But nobody's yet done JFFS2, AFAIK. We're intending to add this support to RedBoot some time in the near future, hopefully. -- dwmw2
