TFFS module

I've looked left and right for more information about the tffs module, and I'm still not sure what it has. It's clear that it includes a propietary FS that handles the difficult task of wear leveling, but I have been unable to confirm that that is it.

If it is only a FS, we could use UBIFS instead, now that it is stable in 2.6. As an alternative we can use the old jffs2.

Console output

A solution for the console output is using Netconsole:

netconsole.txt

Netconsole howto: send kernel boot messages over ethernet

Basically netconsole is what I said in the iRex forums I that was intending to code, but RedHat's Ingo Molnar had it already done, and it has been ported to kernel 2.6.

Good luck with the port :-).
