Hey all,

for various debugging purposes I want to temporarily boot a modified
kernel on krillin. My idea was to build the kernel, take the boot.img
from the OTA-4 image "device" tarball, update the boot.img with the new
kernel, and then use the "fastboot boot" command to boot it once:


$ git clone https://github.com/bq/aquaris-E4.5.git

$ cd aquaris-E4.5

$ ./makeMtk -t krillin n k

$ tar -xJvf
/home/sturmflut/.cache/ubuntuimages/pool/device-168ccf6a391da4f83feb0325783f02b313e3892675bfea9e4a036bd63fd24f93.tar.xz

$ abootimg -u partitions/boot.img -k
./out/target/product/krillin/obj/KERNEL_OBJ/arch/arm/boot/zImage

$ fastboot boot partitions/boot.img


This doesn't work, the kernel doesn't boot. I don't have much experience
with the whole Android boot procedure, so any hint is appreciated.

cheers,
Simon
