Hi,
I just got my gdium - nice machine!

One thing I couldn't figure out immediately is how the bootloader works
(e.g. how to boot a self-built kernel, preferrably keeping an option to
fall back to the old one in case mine messes up) - any insights on that?

Thanks
bero

Hi

The bootloader pmon has environment variable stored in the flash on the pcb board. There is one variable telling booloader to load which kernel file.

This following wiki article may help you.
