eriksla,
Sorry. I was probably wrong. I haven't tested this yet, but now that I've played around with initrd a little while, I think you were right, in that the standard kernel (2.6.9-rc1) should be usable. The idea will be to use the standard root-partition (squashfs formatted) of the flash as if it is a ramdisk.
My initrd-image will then be loaded as squashfs, the normal "magic" with pivot_root etc. will be done by a script in squashfs, and booting will continue on USB. Best of all, I can test it using root from NFS.
I ran into the same problems with the hydra-based enigma as I did with the enigma from the 7020 dev-kit. There's a kernel oops in what seems to be one of the loaded binary modules, and enigma dies a horrible death. Seems that my rather optimistic editing of the modules to make them compatible with the kernel is not sufficient, I would need new modules from dream to have a chance.
