| The SD(HC)-Card was prepard on my main machine like this:
| 1. partition: 8MB formatted vfat
| for uImage.bin (apart from that: empty). I wasn't sure which
kernel-Image to
| use so I took one from ASU.
|
| 2. partition: 2GB formatted ext2.
| I copied all the directories from the .tar.bz2 (Prebuilt Filesystem)
to this
| partition.
|
| wasn't sure which kernel-Image to use so I took one from ASU. It did
indeed
| boot, but when the kernel tried to start init, it panicked:
|
| Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found. Try passing init= option to
kernel.
|
| ... but I really don't know how to do that without screwing up Neo.

That's not so bad, it sounds like you mounted the rootfs OK.  Confirm
that you have /sbin/init on the ext2 partition.  I guess you ran it from
NOR flash... select USB console and connect to /dev/ttyACM0 on your
Linux host box via minicom or some such.  Do printenv and show the
results here.
