Just to provide some background: we're discussing some things that are
needed to add Debian support to HP's mv2120 NAS device.
As far as I can see, the following items are needed to add support:we need to find solutions for the following
- make a mv2120 patch for 2.6.26, i.e. backport the patch from
Marvell's git tree to plain 2.6.26. I asked Sylver Bruneau
whether he can help with this.
- figure out how the rescue mode works and how to construct a rescue
image that the device can boot: it seems Eugene San has figured out
most or all of this already.
- write a server for Linux that can serve these rescue images: I
think Marc Singer was looking into this (?).
- figure out the best way to make one image that contains the kernel and
ramdisk: Marc had some ideas about this.
- add a check to partman that ensures that sda1 is an ext2/ext3 partition
that is mounted on either /boot or /. This one is easy.
