man if some one shows me how to flash a kernel or ramdisk , and how to make a correct boot.img i will build it .
1 where is fastboot
2 what is the correct way to make a boot.img parameters and so on.
3 nvflash? i never used it only when flashing the root prime , i dont know how nvflash works .
ya sure its shows me what options it have but what does it all mean whats is need to lets say flash a kernel only

Do you have a look at the following thread:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1129308&highlight=nvflash
This may give you an idea of how nvflash works.

You can edit the script from roach to like just flash the kernel http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15153606&postcount=1012
hmmm oke that sould be ./nvflash -r --download 6 boot.img
but i only have the kernel , so how do i build the boot.img. will any mkbootimg work ? and witch switches doe i need with mkbootimg
for chroot lovers , ubuntu is up

i had a look but this confuse me
so you have the 6 for kernel but where is you ramdisk then ?
1 6 is a boot.img
2 6 is a boot.img with the header file, like creating a boot.img with the blob tools.??
3 thats only the kernel zImage
./nvflash --resume --read 6 $BACKUP_DIR/06_LNX_raw.img #kernel
i will just flash lets see what will happen.
so iḿ getting errors , i think the 6 is a boot image , i have tryed mkboot but also i think i need a special one

That would be great! I don't have enough experience to advise you but I wonder if this would help?

flashing the kernel is as easy as placing it on the SD Card, booting into CWM and selecting install rom from zip.
This destroys android so Would it be possible to install linux to a different places in android then the main android system then boot it up with a terminal command in android? Not talking about vnc
Yes, but first we gotta make sure we can get the kernel and such working.
Jhinta, post your files, and I'll give them a whirl

sorry i'm ad work . when i'm home ill send a ramdisk and kernel.
totaly ontested ,
some info
ramdisk has scripts to mount and chainroot a rootfs
kernel is build with vt support. also reading from xoom , some patches need to be added , but lets get flashing started ( boot.img only )first as i dont want to wipe the whole system , there is no point to that.

as im reading the xoom guid , they can easly flash the boot.img i'm to recovery , as you can flash and even update bij nvflash , they already have multiboot i think they just dont know it yet
the have fastboot , the just have to do , fastboot flash recovery boot.img
and booting ubuntu is like booting to recovery.
the only problem is that you dont have cwm , but then again they can releas nvflash files to update. and maybe in time a multiboot (triple) wil be made
Jhinta,
I suggest that you go the IRC channel #asus-transformer and ask about nvflash as the developers hang out in that channel. RaYmAn and Roach are the users that may have the answers you need. Both are located in Europe so you may have to account for the time difference from your location.

here are the files.
i didnt test this at all , as i dont know how to flash them . so if the work i dont know .
but when i do know how to flash this i can start building and corecting things.
1 get a way to flash ramdisk and kernel ( boot.img = kernel and ramdisk )
2 if flashing is oke get framebuffer device active for error handeling
3 fix mount points.
4 we are done. only thing left is options.

5So as we all know soon we will have the files to access nvflash. This for one will hopefully allow us to install any OS we want.
Here is a guide to flashing ubuntu through nvflash onto a tegra 2 device:

Now lets hope once the nvflash tools get released in the coming days we will be able to do this.2My new production box is up and running, and when I left the house today I had git pulling nVidia's nv-tegra/linux-2.6 branch.
I work 60-80 hours a week though, so this is very much a 'in my spare time' type project for me.
I'm hoping to get the T2 kernel compiling sometime over the weekend, maybe have time to mess with it Monday-ish.2Came across more info on the bootloader subsystem, too -

Too bad I'm at work, or I could be having fun working on this, instead I'll be experimenting Monday. I work Tuesday-Sunday, so doubt I'll have much time to play with this until after the weekend 1Good job! So, if I understand correctly you put it on the recovery partition(partially) and then boot via volume down + power ? Can you provide instructions on how to put this thing on our transformers and possibly a bin file(s).
I am dying to boot ubuntu on my tablet. Thanks in advance.
with some editing to the flash.cfg you could put the ubuntu kernel into recovery, the kernel is slightly larger than what recovery allows, but a normal android kernel for the device fits without editing into recovery.
My current layout is RECOVERY (5) android kernel, LNX (6) ubuntu kernel, mmcblk1p1 rootfs.
here is the boot.img I use. this will boot to the first partition on your uSD, this can be edited using abootimg by changing the command lines root= arguement. This kernel is for a raw ext4 partition on your sd card.
Please do not mirror this, it is far from complete, and I am not going to supply full instructions at the moment, if you know what you are doing it is pretty straight forward, otherwise wait until the next version I release with a few usability fixes
