Which instructions did you follow to do this? The only instructions
I know of that recommend 2.14.8 are the CRL bootldr instructions, and
they have a process to verify if the flash was written to correctly.

You should follow:
ftp://ftp.handhelds.org/pub/linux/dists/compaq/ipaq/v0.20/install.html
Verbatim. Don't get tricky, just follow it line for line. Namely, you should
verify the flash was successfully written to, using the technique that
page describes.
