    Hello,

    I tried to install a version of linux on a ipaq(3765).
    Using the following steps ..
    Successfully installed bootldr 2.17.13 on WinCE ..
    partition reset
    partition delete root
    partion define params 0x40000 0x40000 0
    partion define kernel 0x80000 0x80000 0
    partion define root 0x00200000 0x00300000 0
    partion define usr 0x00500000 0x00500000 0
    set boot_type flash
    set kernel_partition kernel
    params save
    flashed the kernel, init, root and usr to the correct
    locations.
    followed the other steps and booted the machine.
    The steps worked and the machine booted into linux.

    Then i had some problems with /dev/mixer .. and i
    tried to reinstall the kernel ..

    but now
    partition reset
    partition delete root
    partion define params 0x40000 0x40000 0

    gives me --->
    argv[1]=define

    ******** malloc out of storage ********
      size=00000008
    Error allocating space for name

    The machine does not boot anymore .. its just freezes
    at the boot> prompt !!!

    Any ideas on how to get around this problem will be
    highly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance for your help,

    Regards
    - jh
