Because of the more and more popular udev I had to adapt the deivce handling Barry Allen
Therefore this is a kind of experimental BA Thread where you have the possibility to help to finish and test this new development, without confusing people used to download their BA kit from the normal BA thread.
Actually thuis thread was planned to never exist, because if my ordered 8k would have been delivered already i would have testet it there myself and simply post a new version 4.7, but this seems to be not possible so far
On the other hand, since 1 year I'm struggeling with the extra devices for the device handling for the 8* boxes, which made the code more and more complex, added extra boottime for everybody and this approach is now reaching it's limit of maintenanceability with the new udev
BTW it is sad that I now have to do this in this thread, but if my dealer is not able to deliver a box after 4.5 months. Bit this seems the way it seems to be.
Now about the BA XP kit - it is only a renamed BA 4.8.8 kit to prevent misunderstandings that you simpy install it an everything is as before
What doens't work ath the moment ?
The Filesystemcheck and device formatting will not work - don't use/try bainit 9* or 8*
And booting from Harddisk is not tested at all - as usual
The kit is simpley there to see if you can unpack nfi files and boot them and if all needed devices how up as usual.
Import is that BA doen't extend the fstab anymore at all or use no more any /media/ba links. There is now need to be scared about this - the BA device should be mounted at /media/ba as usual.
So better flash and unpack new images, old images from previoous BA installations should work, but changes BA made there to the fstab will not be undone.
Well, and testing this in all variations (with udev image in Flash or on BA device or vice versa) is now your job to test on all enigma2 boxes !
