</div></div>Paolo - I took a quick pass at this yesterday using<br>
git://<a href="http://kernel.ubunt.com/rtg/mirabox.git" target="_blank">kernel.ubunt.com/rtg/mirabox.git</a> and booting from TFTP. The kernel<br>
was about 5.6 MB but I didn't ever get a console. Could you have a look<br>
to see if Utopic master still works for you ?<br>
