I think the rom version is the problem. I'm afraid you have to update
to an english rom (or german if they exist) >= A04. Those rom versions
are the only ones that have worked for now.

Someone is writing such a guide for the wiki, but "dummies" don't have
much use with the current version, as touchscreen, power management,
... isn't working yet, so you can't actually use linux as your OS,
yet.

As soon as all drivers and such are written/configured correctly,
we'll defenitly write such a guide and provide an easy-to-use package.
