| Parameter Name
When you test your IGEP X-loader, igep.ini file and kernel we suggest use a microsd card in front of use directly the flash nand, if your flash not boot copy all files in one microsd card and boot from there. You can check what happens removing some files from your microsd card for example if you wish test if your flashed kernel it's loaded in a right way then remove the kernel from your microsd card (note: use the same kernel name), IGEP X-loader first try load the file from your microsd card but if it's not found then it try to find the file in the flash.<br>
== How I can upgrade my old kernel? ==
Just copy the new one, the most secure way it's copy the new one and at end replace the igep.ini file with your new one.
<pre>$ mount -t jffs2 /dev/mtdblock1 /boot
$ cp newkernel.bin /boot
$ cp igep.ini /boot</pre>Use a different kernel name and you always can boot from your old one.
