Hey, There will be a ramdisk kernel which you can use for installation. That ramdisk/installer will have to be updated to work with your board though.
The miniroot is only an easier mechanism to boot the ramdisk kernel. Some miniroots also contain a u-boot. Did you compile the u-boot yourself or is there some way to download it? \Patrick > Am 19.09.2014 um 15:05 schrieb Hrishikesh Murukkathampoondi > <hris...@gmail.com>: > > Hello > > A new kernel will be great. > > The steps listed in INSTALL,armv7 are for miniroot-*.fs.
