I mean : no real problem but the linux boot :-\ !
Only the HEAD version of Haret is able to load the whole kernel.
I also noticed the problem of memory Jean-Nicolas talked about, so I set
RAMADDR and RAMSIZE in my boot script (see in the zip file attched).
But even with these parameters, almost nothing happen : I only get some
lines of different colors on the PDA screen after the "Go, go, go" message.

You will find attached all the logs I got until now : mmu dump, boot,
gpios, etc.
If it gives you some new ideas, they are welcome :-)

Yesterday, I integrated the axim code sent by Kai into the latest HH
kernel, but it does not seem to improve the boot process. I should get a
serial cable before the next week, so I will be able to have a look on
the kernel side.
