The solution I found by successive approximation as about the same as the later qemu link, i.e mount part to extract vmlinuz/initrd, I use gparted (command line would do the same) to create my /d partition. so basically all works fine. I can even bridge it and apt-get update it. I haev not buoot my own build for now as I am working mon app build env a the moment, i.e I am more on the xbuild chain, still have my runtime qemu'ed for some functional testing. Thanx again for your reply, I will keep it in my cheat cheat :) Cheers, Phi _______________________________________________ linaro-dev mailing list linaro-dev@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-dev
