Feb 15 09:37:42 <lantizia> Hey, can I max out all the onboard memory on my collie (zaurus 5500) to be RAM and boot debian from an SD card?

Feb 16 17:50:42 <DrChaos_> is there any way to dual boot android and angstrom?
Feb 16 17:50:57 <DrChaos_> I have an ARM tablet
Feb 16 17:51:25 <dm8tbr> depends on your tablet
Feb 16 18:02:58 <DrChaos_> dm8tbr :: it's a kindle fire hd and I can unlock the bootloader but I don't know how to interface with it and say: Hey, add two boot options, the second Angstrom
Feb 16 18:03:43 <DrChaos_> if only there was a way to use a miniature linux system like initramfs and have the initramfs say: press and hold volume up to boot into angstrom
Feb 16 18:03:51 <DrChaos_> up because it seems more powerful :P
Feb 16 18:04:11 <DrChaos_> or if I could just patch the bootloader...
Feb 16 18:04:27 <DrChaos_> I wish I had my computer science degree already
Feb 16 18:07:58 <dm8tbr> DrChaos_: I wrote that for archos gen7 actually and a different implementation exists for Nokia N9/N950 called moslo
Feb 16 18:08:28 <dm8tbr> both are essentially initramfs based boot menus. sprinkle on kexec to choose kernel etc too, not just rootfs.
Feb 16 18:08:38 <DrChaos_> dm8tbr :: Oh
Feb 16 18:08:50 <DrChaos_> dm8tbr :: if only there was some way to hack it to make it all work
Feb 16 18:09:11 <DrChaos_> but does angstrom have an onscreen keyboard and gpe?
Feb 16 18:09:19 <dm8tbr> DrChaos_: how comfortable are you with embedded linux? does your device have a UART accessible?
Feb 16 18:09:51 <DrChaos_> dm8tbr :: very uncomforable , not experienced at all. The UART is probably accessible in Android fastboot mode
Feb 16 18:10:02 <DrChaos_> but it's only for bootloader access
Feb 16 18:10:09 <DrChaos_> and the bootloader is locked
Feb 16 18:10:10 <dm8tbr> I remember that there was actually one more bootloader. IIRC geared at kexec.
Feb 16 18:10:25 <DrChaos_> I don't know how to unlock the bootloader
Feb 16 18:10:29 <dm8tbr> http://kexecboot.org/
Feb 16 18:10:36 <DrChaos_> can I at least unlock the bootloader today?
Feb 16 18:10:47 <dm8tbr> I have no idea about that hardware
Feb 16 18:11:11 <DrChaos_> dm8tbr :: xda-forums forum should have all the info I would need to unlock this bootloader
Feb 16 18:11:44 * DrChaos_ has to go to the bathroom, he will brb
Feb 16 18:15:56 <DrChaos_> dm8tbr :: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2009024
Feb 16 18:16:49 <DrChaos_> "Locked bootloaders are evil, locked bootloaders are wrong." Amen to that!
Feb 16 18:19:06 <DrChaos_> LOL
