This modded rootfs can detect that and load the correct kb settings. Thats all the difference really between the rhods.. rest of the crap we alreayd handle in the kernel. I can help someone do this or you would like i can upload one modified already. The downsides are that we would need to keep up with changes on the real community rootfs, but then again that doesnt change much.

Also, i checked tinboot and it really doesnt need any modification. So natemcnutty, not sure why its not working for you. But i can help you mod the scripts if needed.
ACL, sorry if I interrupted anything in IRC today. That's what I was trying to say was that Tinboot worked perfect for me with the build from Sept. 23 and 25, but after the changes on Sept 29, it no longer works on my device.

I've created my own script to do all of the cleanup and compile everything for me. I literally made it so I can't screw it up, and it works for all of the previous builds I've done. It's just the latest zImage that doesn't work for me.

Yup, so same issue as I'm having. I've tried this with several different options. I've tried with force hw3d set to 1 (which is how Wozz had it set). I tried it set to 0 and having it not set at all. None of them worked for me and all froze up at the animation screen.

I have a custom command of "dmesg >> /sdcard/dmesg.txt" in my froyo.conf file, and the last thing it shows is ramzswap size setting which is why I was trying to tweak with that option.

Excellent. Thanks for the feedback. As far as the animation goes, I did compile the 9-25 one with force_hw3d=0 since we didn't have 3d enabled yet. I can generate a new one with it set to 1 for you to play with tomorrow and see if that makes any difference.

As far as the new build is concerned, I'm just hoping ACL might have an idea of what is going on there. I'll have some free time tomorrow to really take a look at the changes between the 9-25 build and the 9-29 commit and see if anything sticks out, but I'm pretty sure ACL's code is perfect since it seems to be working for him. I'm kind of hoping there's something that just didn't get committed that is needed to get it working

Re: NAND Boot File Repository

for now to find the root cause i would plug in the usb and run adb to get a logcat and dmesg right around the point of the crash. I checked the git and all my files are there.

On my device, it seems like it freezes on the loading screen, but it is doing something because I'll see it flicker every so often. Unfortunately, nothing gets logged to dmesg, so I have no way to figure out exactly what it is doing.

Also, you may want to edit your froyo.conf file on the SD card to reduce the size of compcache to something smaller than 90 as that seemed to help me get a little further into the boot before it froze

0930 build froze at boot animation same as others. Had plugged in to pc and running adb for logcat dump. Never initialized the driver or USB.

Set compcache to 50, it went about 2 seconds longer. I think

Set to 1.... Blank screen

ACL, I'd be happy to maintain this, and rootfs really doesn't change much. From reading through init (http://gitorious.org/xdandroid-eclai...bs/master/init), it looks like I just change lines 430 through 505 to basically replace "if /bin/grep -c 'physkeyboard=fuze' /proc/cmdline >/dev/null" with "if -f /sdcard/rhod500" or and each subsequent model?

I will start packaging the CustomRUU with the NBH and everything else that is needed in a folder named SD Card. With Dropbox, I don't have to worry about space or bandwidth, so it just means people will have to download a slightly bigger file.

As for why the 09-29 changes aren't working for me, I'm looking into that today. Unfortunately, the wife wants me to go shopping with her which could take a while. I'll have some free time while I watch the U of O vs Stanford game in a few hours though
