The ultimate goal is to have the DR shutdown and boot without updating the screen, to make it more book-like. I have the shutdown process figured out, but I'm stuck on the boot animation.

Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Best regards,

Roderick
I guess boot image is inside /boot/zImage-2.6.24-irex file, so you'd need to unpackage that file to control boot process.
Sadly enough it doesn't look like any known format.
