- Read this entire post before continuing, and make sure that you have everything you need.
- Run Kubrick until where it asks you to enable USB network, and enable it. Wait for Kubrick to "turn green", but don't continue with the wizard.
- Press Alt+F2 and login as root (no password)
- cd /media/cdrom/kubrick/
- ssh -i resources/ssh_keys/id_kdebrick root@192.168.15.244
- You'll now have an interactive shell on the Kindle.
To make backups of the partitions, you can follow the instructions
here.
You should be running the "host-side" commands in a directory that will write to permanent storage, so either boot Kubrick from a USB stick and save stuff to /media/usbstick or a subdirectory, or plug in and mount an additional hard disk/USB stick, and store it there. You'll need an additional console for that, so use Alt+F3 on the computer.
To extract the kernel, you can use
getkernels.sh. Store that file on your "permanent storage" before starting the whole Kubrick procedure. To be on the safe side, only use it after making a the backup of mmcblk0p4. That is, scp it to root@192.168.15.244:/mnt/us/, then execute it on the Kindle, and of course, don't forget to also copy the output back from the Kindle to your permanent storage.
