Hi all,

Will try that.

As I (and Dominic) already mentioned, there seem to be some problem with
screen calibration. I could start only opie (sometimes), but gpe didn't
work. In opie screen calibration when everything works ok, I touch screen
only 8 times (I think), but sometimes calibration failed and at the end bash
prompt shows up. But cross for screen callibration is still on the screen. I
think this is not problem because of CF boot. Can someone explain, how
screen calibration works? There was discussion on this list some time ago,
but I didn't found some useful information. Is data from calibration saved
anywhere and used in next boot or not?
Is there any new working rootfs that I can try?
One more think - is base rootfs readonly or writable? I think that is
readonly, except some writable storage (tmp), which is ramfs.

>Nice achievement, by the way! Thanks Peter!

Just my small contribution to the project.
