Re: X50V won't boot, watever I try

For now ill be trying to work on CF support for axim, since my main goal
would be to use Aircrack or Wifi utility.
Any information of previous work for CF support would be welcome.

I rewrited the SD partitionning part of the tutorial, feel free to correct
if there is any speeling mistake, I also added a note for wifi and
bluetooth.

2) Prepare

The SD card needs to be partitioned into two partitions: one small FAT
partition that WinCE can see, and one EXT2 partition used as root file
system. I'll assume that the block device of the SD card is called /dev/sda.
Replace this with the correct device on your system. Instruction could be
slightly different for each version of fdisk :

   * Delete all partitions on the SD card:

     fdisk /dev/sda
     d
     1
     d
     2
     d
     3
     .....

   * Create partitions, for example a 10MB /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2 using the
rest:

     fdisk /dev/sda
     n
     p
     1
     <default> (should be cylinder 1)
     +10M
     n
     p
     2
     <default>
     <default> (should be last cylinder of the card)
     t
     1
     4
     w

Add at the end of the tutorial :
Note: If linux don't boot try turning WIFI and BLUETOOTH ON or only one of
them.
