What config were you using? The configs are all stored in
arch/arm/def-configs within the kernel source tree... Copy the appropriate
one for you to .config in the top of the kernel tree, and then do a 'make
oldconfig'. I've used the h3600 config for many months now without problems.
I can't vouch for any of the others.

You can do a 'mount /boot' which will make the flash partition (i.e.
familiar) appear as the /boot directory.
Intimate just uses familiar's kernel anyhow, so installation procedures are
identical as they are for familiar. (I believe copy to /boot on flash, and
update /boot/params if required)

My specific application is for home automation... Really I want to be able
to say things like 'Computer, Lights On' ... 'Computer, Light three off'...
etc etc
Nothing fancy... I'm not interested in continuous speech or anything flash
like that...
My office would be so 'Star Trek' if I could do this :)
