Great detective's work !

I think it's the kernel 2.6.7 's fault, Michael's doesn't boot either :

rootfs_jul25a.tar.bz2, initrd_jul25a, zImage_jul25a, ipaq_jul25a.config
        - CAUTION: DON'T BOOT ON H2200... Still investigating.
        - All updated for 2.6.7-hh0
        - Rootfs: Updated packages (mainly gpe ones), by running "ipkg update"
          and "ipkg upgrade". This done on June 28. This probably
          has to be done again.

Michael is apparently working hard on make that beast boot :)
You're right, it would be great, to have a 2.6.6 kernel to test
meanwhile this OE rootfs.
