Hosting is not a problem. I can host it as well.
I can even change the root password ( which is the only device specific information in the image) to something harmless before uploading. |

I don't mind sharing the image. Only have a 1Mb upload speed though so might take a while. Just tell me where to send it.

I've been reading through the info on this thread and the simple debricking guide, I to have a demo black K4. I have the base 4.0 on it but need the newer revision so it can be registered etc.
Have to say, some excellent dedicated folk on here! |

I normally replace the root password with the DES mario hash in the shadow file. Optionally, the guid file may be deleted too. Last edited by geekmaster; 01-01-2013 at 10:59 AM. |

Thanks a lot, Solaris. Changing the root password to mario is exactly what I had in mind.
I'm uploading the modified image now. Do I have your permission to post the URL of that image here ? For the sake of completeness, could anyone provide Solaris with the dd options for extracting the 4.1 kernel as well ? |
