Pardon my ignorance, but where can I find the kernel images? These are just root systems, right? I'd love to try Kirkwood on NSA-310.
If you want to test the kernel used in the F18 ARM Beta release candidate the best option is to download the kirkwood image then extract the kernel and initramfs. Here's a link to the image:
http://scotland.proximity.on.ca/arm-nightlies/vault/f18-beta-rc1/F18-kirkwoo...
Ucompress and as root use kpartx to expose the partitions as loopback devices:
xz -d F18-kirkwood-20121220.img.xz kpartx -av F18-kirkwood-20121220.img
From here you can mount the partition with the files you need. I'm not sure which one it is so you'll have to experiment:
mount /dev/mapper/loop0p1 /somewhere
Good luck, and don't forget to umount and kpartx -d that image when you're done.
