Has managed to get a 'fake kernel' , and toolchain used to build a real kernel.
The 'fake kernel' is just the kernel startup code.
"When I boot it on my BE300 using my modified version of CyaCE (it's in CVS), the screen flickers as expected. so this proves both the bootloader and the toolchain work."
There is still work to be done I am guessing as I am not a Linux guy, but it's the start of the next Good thing the BE can do :)

I hope you read and see these guys are going to be the guys who will crack it wide open and get this thing finished !!!
There again before Christmas 2001 The BE 300 was a plain Jane PDA till Epod broke things wide open
