A bit off topic: After reading this I fell in love with "ondemand".
Unfortunately this love is tainted by the fact that I can not restart
the system. Neither shutdown -r nor pressing reset work for OveroWater
and OveroFireStorm. U-boot hangs before or during uncompressing
kernel. I tries different kernel versions / and latest u-boot
(2012.07). The only way out is unplugging power.
Anybody else facing this?
