Re: [cobalt-developers] Kernel source

The RaQ4 kernel sources can be found here:

ftp://ftp.cobalt.com/pub/products/raq4/eng/updates/SRPMS/kernel-2.2.16C33_III-1.src.rpm

Other sources for the various appliances are also available on that FTP 
server.

When the RaQ boots press the "S" button on the frontpanel and select "boot 
from ROM". That will boot with an older Kernel which is stored in the Boot 
EEprom. That kernel is independent from the one on the disk.
