Running the standard 2.6.9-rc1 kernel did the trick. As I'm writing this, the Dream 7020 alfa (or whatever name you want to give it) is doing a transponder scan.
OK, I admit to running a slightly older kernel than the 7020 release will have, but still! I don't even own a 7020...
The boot is currently highly unconvensional, but it should be possible to streamline it quite a bit, and I think it should also be quite easy to boot-strap a binary version using just a PC, with no need for linux or NFS servers.
The really good news for us 7000 owners is that we needn't be left behind when all developers flock to the new, sexy, shiny, developer-friendly 7020-series. It shouldn't be too difficult to support the 7000 as long as extra storage is available either as USB, cardflash or disk.
Which image-maker will be the first to deliver a 7020 image for the 7000, and will they do it even before the 7020 is available?
(While I've been writing this, the scan is finished, and I'm now watching BBC1...)
