I've tried both. I've compiled a static busybox to be able to chroot
into the buildroot rootfs, but both behave the same way.


I know 2.4 is ancient. However, I don't have the sources to even
attempt a port to 2.6 (a request to Philips have been sent though), and
also would like to avoid bricking my system, so I'd like to stay with
the current kernel.

Well, well, I'll see if I can hack something together.
