He was able to compile and run KEXEC on the Nook tablet thus making it possible for custom ROMS to boot on the device via the 2nd init workaround, also used in several Motorola smartphones with same issues. We won’t go in the technical details; bottom line is we will finally be seeing customs ROMS and Kernels working on the Nook Tablet.

So i have finally done it. After long hours of solving problems and such, i have gotten kexec to compile on the ARMv7 arch. We can now flash custom kernals and ROMS due to the 2nd-init. Now it is time for the designers to take up and start building CM7.
Thanks Salvadesswaran
