Here's the issue that I'm running into right now.

Even with a heavily-modified initrd (basically shrinking it down to only 26MB in size when its expanded, 13 compressed), I'm not booting past the A N D R O I D _ screen.

My attempts to build the kernel from source have been futile. I can successfully configure and do the base compilation of the kernel but once it launches the ARM cross-compiler, it immediately fails and I've been unable to work around it.

http://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/ has progress on this but what WE need is a sd card driver so the initrd doesn't need to be so big. That way we can boot linux fully on our titans.

Yep. That's exactly what's going on.

Damn HTC for giving us the RAM shaft!

you'd think in this day and age, with as cheap as all types of memory is, they could have gave us a little more

HTC doesnt exactly plan on people updating their ROMs or putting on entire NES emulators on their PPCs. they really could care less about you after you buy the product.

rather funny when the best/most exciting thing to put on a windows device is putting linux on it :P
