  * You can update the archos firmware by putting the cramfs and system directory of an unpacked firmware in the openaos/update directory. Both directories (cramfs and system) should have been deleted after an successful update. (If not you most likely made an mistake or used the wrong initramfs)
  * If you update the Archos firmware for the first time the initramfs will automatically create an menu.lst for you or if it exists check if it already has an archos entry and add it if necessary.
- * You can enable serial debug using the g_serial driver that will create three cdc-acm serial devices via USB. Just connect your Archos by USB to your PC and select yes from the menu that will pop up on boot.

(this is now '''only''' available in the special version of initramfs as too many users cause them selves problems by activating it in combination with android.

   * ~~The first ACM device will have an root shell bound to it under Android (both Archos and !ArchDruid !FroYo).~~ Please use ADB. Due to instability this Android feature is now only available on the UART ttyS2. 
   * Under other OS' you have to bind an getty to it in the inittab to get an login prompt / shell on the first ACM device.
