[Elphel-support] Reflash questions.

[niknah]

Thanks Oleg,

I am using the live iso, but I found out what my problem was.  Plugging the
ethernet from the camera to the computer directly instead of via a
switch/router made it a lot faster.

I meant compiling the elphel353 modules as loadable modules.  With "make
menuconfig" in the kernel, I can only pick Y or N when configuring the
elphel353 but not M.  When I force it to M it complains about various
things not linking up.  I presume the driver has to support being compiled
as a module first.

But my main problem is that "netboot" has stopped working cause
"nfs_update" can't find /mnt/flash
I've tried "netboot -cmd all", but it still doesn't boot.
