I played with this K1 stuff some more. Though I can successfully execute scripts from /mnt/us on my K1, any time I try to execute a binary (ELF) file on /mnt/us (or copied from /mnt/us to /tmp), I get a "not found" error. I am tempted to see if I can loop mount an ext3 image file and execute binaries from inside that...

Last time I had execution problems, it was CR/LF in my script. Not this time...

EDIT: I see that /etc/mtab contains:
/dev/stl0/9 /mnt/us vfat rw,noatime,nodiratime,fmask=0022,dmask=0022 0 0
and mtab mask permission 0022 = chmod 755, which should be executable.

EDIT2: Okay, perhaps the problem is that the K1 uses an armv5, whilst newer kindles use armv7 (or later)?
