Two things to report:

It turns out to not be the image at all - it's my install partition.
My 1GB card
is partitioned into a leading (#1) 128MB FAT32, two (#2 and #3) 128MB EXT2
partitions, and a final (#4) ~634MB EXT2. Unpack any image into partition #2
and it's fine, trying partitions 3 and 4 no go. The partition table seems okay,
and the kernel reports mounting them just fine, but they never get to
init. Well,
using partition 2 is my workaround for now.

LOTS of problems using Arjan's angstrom image though. The screen
calibration is way off, completely impossible to type, or hit the onscreen
controls. I'm not able to test it meaningfully.

Has anyone been able to use an IRDA keyboard with Opie on the h1940?

Yep, it appears that WinCE uses an epoch of 1968, while the Linux S3C2410
code uses 2000. I added a few lines to correct for this and preserve the WinCE
epoch when it is read initially. Now I need to fix the timewarp back to June 1,
2003 however, for linux booting after a fresh reset. Want the patch for this?

Tom.
