oky then. heres what I've done:
- created a debian disk image using debootstrap, and completeing the --second-stage bit with qemu.
- moved the image onto the /mnt/us partition
- used the script from
http://xkid.biz/wordpress/?p=4
- ssh into the kindle
- execute the chroot script
- in the chroot:
--- add debian testing repo into sources.list
--- apt-get update
here the output from apt:
Get:1
http://ftp.debian.org testing InRelease [190 kB]
Get:2
http://ftp.debian.org testing/main armel Packages [5710 kB]
Get:3
http://ftp.debian.org testing/main Translation-en [3886 kB]
100% [2 Packages bzip2 0 B]
- in another ssh session with the kindle, outside the chroot (after apt hangs):
--- ls / (works just fine)
--- ls /mnt (hangs)
also, other programs seem to get stuck.
as mentioned, the framework locks up trying to access a book (the user guide in my case). from running ps outside the chroot, tinyrot also seems to gets stuck, for example.
