Kevin, since you have a serial console, are you interested in testing
the patches in #451882 and #421359?
Yes. My slug is now compiling apex-1.4.15 with the patch from #451882
(CONFIG_RAMDISK_SIZE=0x005FFFF0) I am curious if this solves this bug
and I will let you know.

You'll also need the patch from #421359, otherwise the new APEX is not
written to flash.

BTW: What is keeping the patches from moving into sid? I'd love to
see a more current apex version in lenny.

The major issue is that the APEX maintainer doesn't respond to these
bugs.

BTW, the nslu2-linux project keeps some apex patches at:

http://svn.nslu2-linux.org/svnroot/kernel/trunk/patches/apex/

If Marc is not responsive, I'm happy to give relevant people write access to there to be used as a central place for apex patches ...

Once the initramfs has some recovery support, the variations feature of Apex will become useful.
