The next step I tried was to build kernel on my machine and use it to boot the IPAQ. I followed the instructions provided at http://handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/HpIpaqH2200Kernel. I used ipaq_jul25a..config to build the kernel. The kernel built okay, but I am stuck at this point........

I believe there is a shell script called update_modules in initrd
itself, just mount it, and look in /lib/

just peek into the script, it'll tell you which modules you want to
copy, or modify the script and it will do it for you.
