We have been hosting the new versions of the bootldr at ftp://lorien.handhelds.org/pub/linux/feeds/bootldr
I have only tested the IDE support with a microdrive. I think the only issue is how big the filesystem is. If the filesystem is small enough, it uses FAT12, which I have not implemented yet (1.5 bytes per FAT entry, yuk). FAT16 adn FAT32 both seem to work.
I also have not put in the GPIO support for H3800, so it does not work yet there either.
