Can I swap the 80gb drive from my current MK1 to MK2a without any modifications? Hmm. I guess kernel upgrade has to be done? Anything else?

Remember that the Kernel is stored in Flash RAM and not on the hard disk.

The hard disk contains the player software and the music files.

I'm not sure if the player software will be different between the Mk1 and the Mk2, but I'm certain that the kernel is different between the two, so it's a good bet the player software is different, too.

So yes, you will need to upgrade the player software if you swap drives between a Mk2 and a Mk1, but otherwise that should work. So if you want to do a disk builder on the Mk2 and then swap the disk into a Mk1, that should work as long as you install the correct version of the player software after you do that.

Suggestions, what kernel is _stable_ atm?


If you mean "player software" rather than "kernel", version 2.0 final is the most stable at the moment. The kernel comes with it.

After you install that, you can replace the kernel with the Hijack kernel, which is also very stable.
