Requirements:
- have the “Special Edition firmware developer” installed.
- Download the files available here Initramfs and zImage
Step 1
Flash initramfs.cpio.gz and zImage from SDE boot menu:
- power on Archos device, hold up/- volume key until you see “Archos AXXXX – Boot Menu”,
- choose with Volume +/- “Recovery System”->“Developer Edition Menu”->“Flash Kernel and Initramfs”,
- connect Archos to PC and copy zImage and initramfs.cpio.gz
- press power button shortly, you should see Archos flashing new kernel
- if flashed properly, press power button shortly to reboot.
Step 2
Create a file “menu.lst” to the root of your Archos (ie next to your file “rootfs.img”).
My file looks like this :
Angstrom Linux|/dev/sda1|/rootfs.img|/sbin/init|1
Debian|/dev/sda1|/Debian.img|/sbin/init|1
Kubuntu|/dev/sda1|/Kubuntu.img|/sbin/init|1
Kubuntu which is the text displayed in the bootmenu, “/dev/sda1” is the address of the files “xxx.img”, “Kubuntu.img” is the name of the file “xxx.img” to load, “/sbin/init ” is the address of the file starting linux in the file” xxx.img “, default “/sbin/init ” for linux and “/ init” for Android and add last “1″ for Linux and “0″ Android.
It’s done, Enjoy! And thanks to OpenAOS
