Re: Step by step instructions

the following modules, in this order, for vsfb:

cfbcopyarea.ko
cfbfillrect.ko
cfbimgblt.ko
vsfb.ko

and for framebuffer support itself

bitblit.ko
fbcon.ko

I located my initrd and put it in
http://bateman.dhs.org/~richard/tmp/arm/initrd.cramfs.gz

also, I *think* I may have located the correct kernel image, but I don't have
time to test it.
http://bateman.dhs.org/~richard/tmp/arm/zImage_for_cramfs_initrd

hope this helps. the initrd was built with 2.6.11 kernel modules, so it might
not work with a newer kernel, but it has a good example of automounting a
root sd image and should automatically load the fb drivers... if it's the
right one.

Good luck,

Richard
