Most of the core developers are already maxed out working on various facets of 
the project, so it's important to get them as much information as possible about 
the problem you've hit.  I'm sure that people will be able to help answer 
specific questions as they come up -- we are very interested in seeing the CUWiN 
software ported to different devices -- and there are a number of experts on the 
-dev list who likewise may be able to help out in various ways.  I would suggest 
keeping this list regularly updated on your progress and posting specific 
problem areas when you hit them.  For now, I think folks would need more 
detailed information on what problems you've had getting the kernel to boot, 
what solutions you've already attempted, etc. before they could give you a 
useful answer to your question.

It's great to have your help with porting -- definitely keep us posted,
