Hello folks,

It has been a while, but I was just wondering if you guys ever got around to getting a newer kernel into your USB iso image.

This, to me, would be crucial since the newer kernels support the Cell CPU directly, and the older kernels did not.

Thus far, MY system will NOT boot your current/last offering. This is related to the device wording you use in your kboot config file. Has anyone else had this issue that would know what commands I could use from within the kboot command shell?

If you have changed it in the last couple months, please let me know.

We have new image already. We will upload it on Friday. It does not include a new kernel, but you will be able to boot.

Could you post an update to this thread once it is posted, as I have no way of knowing it is "new" unless your download page also gets updated with some indicator?

Thanks
