Missing the luigi kernel installer?

... If update doesn't work, you can also flash it manually using Amazon tools.
- Download uImage from here : BLAH/de/BLAH/uImage
- Copy it to /mnt/us
- Execute :
Code:
cp /mnt/us/uImage /tmp ; /test/flashtools/luigi/update /tmp/uImage
so I just wanted the last bit, which is actually what I did anyways. Heh.
Save you all reading this entire thread. Ta.

BACK TO THE THREAD:
Hi.

I followed http://yifan.lu/2010/07/26/compiling...amazon-kindle/ instructions to compile the kernel

(I actually did it via buildroot but it's near identical output)

I got the the new modules copied across with a tidy modules.dep
(yep, I amended the kindles root filesystem under /lib)

Also shuffled the new uImage onto the device under /tmp for now.

but when I got to /test/flashtools/update-kernel-both uImage I don't appear to have the right stuff in /test

I only have update under a subdir /test/flashtools/luigi/update so I'm a bit at a loss since

Can't get my head around what to do with the new uImage I have.
Kindles in a very - interim - state at the moment and I really would like to shove the new kernel on there before it loses power or anything....

So I will continue to look around for better details but yeah, any tips greatly appreciated. or docs. I don't mind reading...
Ta.
