As promised, I am posting all the files required for booting HTC Wizard using linwizard kernel. The zImage, initrd (it is a cramfs), default.txt file and the HaRet are available in the vairam.zip

I used the linwizard-silven for compiling the kernel. The .config file created using “make menuconfig” is also available as part of the zip archive. For your convenience, I have included default.txt and haret as well.

Since I wanted to create my own root file system, I have created INITRD which includes busybox.

This version boots HTC Wizard in less than 15 seconds with this basic setup. 

This is still in development. Since this is a highly unstable version, use it at your own risk.

The efforts are on to get the stabler version. Many keys are recognizaed and system crashes on some key stroke. 

The vairam.zip is available here. Please give me your feedback and suggesstions.

All tiny and embedded implementations use busybox.

BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single small executable. It provides replacements for most of the utilities you usually find in GNU fileutils, shellutils, etc. The utilities in BusyBox generally have fewer options than their full-featured GNU cousins; however, the options that are included provide the expected functionality and behave very much like their GNU counterparts. BusyBox provides a fairly complete environment for any small or embedded system.

It comes bundled with a httpd server too. I have not explored this, but could this be an important tool to bring all mobiles communicate on “peer-to-peer” over the http?
