Bela... Thank you for your efforts!
I'm preparing and formatting my guinea-pig ARM7 box right now (dual 1TB drives, GBe, etc.) and will be setting up a few "Pies" over the weekend for the test bench once the power supply is built.
NOTE: The linkstation's image does a scatter install considering their love for RAID-Everything for extra redundancy, but if all bodes well, it'll be the first TCL
inkstation experiment I'm aware of
I still have to get specs for internal hardware to ensure driver support and such, but as soon as I have answers, I'll post them here. If my theory is correct, there's a kernel swap that takes place during bootstrap... that might be the only real challenge to circumvent.
Thanks again and take care!
