Hi folks -

While examining initscripts for why resume gets busted, I noticed this

$ ../init.d/ipkg-configure start
Starting to configure packages...

Finished to configure packages.

The postinstall script has chosen the wrong partition on my system,
which has the NOR stuff enabled.  It erases my U-Boot config every boot :-)

The kernel package postinstall script needs to grep /proc/mtd to find
out the device node it wants to nuke.

Maybe this is already done, I only saw this on the modified rootfs image
that Werner sent out yesterday, if so: great.  Otherwise it needs doing
to avoid havoc when the partitioning is changed.
