'Mojibake' after the kernel is uncompressed. No tty settings seem to
fix it[*].
The wiki links to the uImage-2.6.30-sheevaplug image all over, but it
is definitely broken either inherently or just with the latest
SheevaPlug hardware.
We should probably update these wiki links to point to a common 'ARM
Kernel' page, which we can then use as a trampoline to a
currently-recommended kernel or a collection of kernels, and later
change to point to an RPM-based kernel solution. Any takers for this bit
of wiki gardening?
(Speaking of kernels, I'm going to get a couple students looking at
doing RPM-based kernels for ARM this semester. Some things from primary
archs won't apply, e.g., updating grub boot menus -- I think ARM with
uBoot will probably need some ugly pieces like a hard link to the
"current" kernel, at least to start. We also need to do an inventory to
figure out the smallest number of kernels necessary to support common
hardware).
