Thanks ezelkow1,

I reformated Ext3 and uncompress the original "rootfs" from Booboo. Now the folders is in correct place. BUT, no deal! Kernel Panic again in Linux and WinXP!

WinXP produce:

Code: Select all

Back to zero!

I insist: don't lose your time trying to boot the A320 kernel on a x760+. The kernel is highly customized for the hardware and chances of it being EXACTLY equal are next to none. At least with a serial console you could have a hint about what's failing...

Anyway, as I said, I'm willing to work on the x760+ port as soon as I have hardware to test it, and given that both consoles are not expensive and people is making generous donations, it won't be long before I can order one. If you want to support an x760+ port, you can help by donating a few bucks here: http://dingoo-linux.blogspot.com.

OK, Booboo. I don't try more.

I will make a donation in next days. I have to wait the pay day... I take part of a community of X760 + users in Orkut (Brazil). I ask to them to make a donation too. Thank you.

I will also make a donation for you soon, moneys tight atm with the ressesion, most of my money goes on rent,the electricity bill and the pub.

Booboo,

I publish a long message on brazilian Orkut Gemei community about the Linux on X760+ development, and many people were interested in making a donation to you in next days in your blog. All of us thanked all your efforts Booboo, about the excellent work done. Thank you!
