I've tried android koolu beta 6:
As I had QI i formated a 2GB sd-card in ext2 and uncompressed the
tarball on it
Then it booted and installed android...
Then I had a splash screen...(so no kernel messages)
Then the ugly part...there is skype(the Desktop version bypass
firewalls,eat/steal your bandwith if you have a lot of it,is
encryptd,offuscated,send encrypted stream to the network etc...)!!!
Then I was on irc and I told that there was skype and they told me there
were "plain koolu" images without skype at http://moko.serdar-dere.net/
then I put android on sd and it boots the old android
you must reformat the sd card and re-extract the "plain koolu" android
on the sd-card and then boot from NOR on the sd-card
 
I hope I will still be able to boot SHR

Denis.
