Edit: Heh
There were at least 3 discussions about linux before you began working on it :D

@Vogtinator, we could use this to write a read-only filesystem driver for FlashFX and Reliance? http://ourl.ca/99835
I already added this page to my favourites three days ago ;)
The part about reliance is useless, "INOD" is actually just a tiny part of the whole:
http://ftp.icpdas.com/pub/beta_version/WinPac-8000/flashfx/dcl/common/loader/reliance/dlrelcore.h
Sadly they use FlashFX Tera instead of FlashFX Pro 3.0, but vfbdump.c seems to support both.

Daniel, you forgot to add include/linux/mtd/nspire_cx_nand.h :(

Ooops, uploaded now.

Well, yeah. Once Linux is booted, the nspire OS doesn't exist in memory anymore so there's nowhere to exit to.

If nspire os is gone, where does rebooting get it from?

Basically, on reset, control is handed back to the bootloader which loads the nspire OS from flash again.

@Vogtinator, also, flash write support is tested to be broken - lots of 'I/O error' and my calculator didn't brick.

Ok, I'll try to get an image of the "filesystem?".

@epic if that's not clear enough, think of it like this:

When the calculator boots, it loads the OS from the NAND, and copies it into the RAM. For all intents and purposes, that NAND no longer needs to exists for running the OS.

When you launch linuxloader, you start a program that causes the RAM to drop the OS entirely, and replace it with linux. Note that the NAND is unaffected. There is no OS to resume, only the Linux setup you have. Since we don't even have a working NAND driver for linux yet, having it reload the OS is pretty much impossible (and unnecessary, as rebooting is the same process)

I haven't had very much time lately, but X still does not work for me. I am getting an error like fatal server error: no screens found. I probably just havent enabled the right setting in the kernel.

You don't need to change anything, if you can see the framebuffer-console everything is set up correctly.
Do you have the latest kernel and rootdisk? What calculator are you using?

The kernel on tiplanet does not work. It mounts the rootfs as read-only, so I compiled my own. I am using the xconfig rootfs on tiplanet and a clickpad.

Corrupted download I think. Which image do you use? X and booting from flashdrive?

xconfig_latest from a flash drive. And I don't think its corrupted. I downloaded it multiple times and got the same result.
