Mount Kernel partition

I am *noobish* when it comes to medium to advanced linux features. Related to this post viewtopic.php?f=40&t=8889&start=30 could anyone provide a guide on how to extract / mount a kernel partition after it was dumped. I am trying to learn and understand the basics if anyone has time to reply. :)

To recap, I did a simple: "cat /dev/mmcblk0p6 > /tmp/uImage1.bin"

Thank you

Ahh. Thought it is a normal compressed image. I did try mkimage -l to look at header and try to unpack it from U-boot - tools but got a corrupted image. :)

Again I am junior so I apologize if this sounds noobish.

Anyway if you get anything new I can try let me know.

Thank you again for all the hard work

It's not compressed :) And nothing to mount :) You simply "open" it :)

Ok. That "open" for my level of knowledge is very cryptic. I am sure is not a double click haha. Joking. But never mind, I will figure it out somehow... i need to learn anyway. And I don't want to keep you away from trying to find ways to hack the Golf.P model....

Thanks

Well if you have your computer (correctly ) setup to open .bin files. Then yes it is enought to "double click" :) Better test my new module ;)
