I've build one for you. It's based on the 2.6.33 kernel (tbh, no patches were added). I've not tested it but it should work. You'll find it here: http://www.rtp-net.org/ss4000e/zImage_2633_iop32x_defconfig You can load it with (for instance) : load -v -r -b 0x01008000 -m ymodem zImage I've choose the ymodem upload method but things like http should work too (as long as the redboot has been configured/compiled correctly) Oh, and don't forget to load the initrd and launch the kernel with the commands I gave before :P > 2. what happens to my device after doing this test?

Nothing should be modifying it, so, after a poweroff/reboot, you'll go back to the "normal" state.
