Just a quick update: With the patch mentioned in my previous post, nalim's kernel compiled. I've just done a quick kexec test and the results are similar to previous try: the busy led stays stationary for a while (well, perhaps a minute or so), then it goes off. This time the iliad is not freezed, as the bottom button makes it do something (but without screen feedback!). It seems that some type of serial console is mandatory...
update: The CF card seems somewhat formatted now; I cannot mount the partitions it had. That is really strange.

The donated iliads were managed by Adam B. At least one is in the hands of openinkpot guys (they have iliad support "in the queue"). I'm not sure about the others (maybe Jaya has one also?).
If you need one for devel purposes, contact Adam B

P.S.: No, they don't have the serial port enabled. IIRC they are plain refurbished "iliad book edition" units.
