I know we don't support tablets. That's been pretty comprehensively covered on the list already, eg:

But! Suddenly a tablet appears which is both much cheaper and (in some respects) far more powerful than the Trim Slices and BeagleBoards that we do support.
Is it possible to support Tegra2/3 tablets, at least in a headless configuration until there are graphics drivers?
Is there any particular reason why you cannot do something like:
- root the device
- dump the rootfs in a subdirectory
- chroot /sbin/init
?
Assuming you enabled sshd, you should at that point be able to ssh into the tablet. Or is there something in the Android kernel patches that stops this approach?
As Peter said, I didn't know the Android kernel was sufficiently compatible. I'll give it a go later on my Galaxy Tab.
