Hi,

>From the Advice Eddi gave, I got my hp4350 to boot up linux!!!!

When booting up, the opie screen appears for a second or two and then
spits out.......

Starting OpenBSD Secure Shell server: sshdmkdir: Cannot create
directory '/var/privsep-sshd': No such file or directory
Missing privilage seperation directory: /var/privsep-sshd

Segmentation fault

Loading module evdev...
Loading module tsdev...
ts: Compaq touchscreen protocol output
Loading module tslibdev...
tslibev: module license 'unspecified' taints kenel.
ts: UCB1x00 touchscreen protocol output

Error opening file

It keeps repeating the last line 'Error opening file'. Any idea what
file it is trying to open?

On my machine, 'var' is a link to '/mnt/ramfs/var' but only the
/mnt/ramfs' piece exists. Is this correct? Any idea why it can create
'/var/privsep-sshd'?

A few other questions though:
1. The ipaq mounts /home/ipaq_rootfs on my machine and in the /boot is
a 'zImage', if I compile my own kernel can I replace this one?

2. Is there any way of knowing what was compiled in to this kernel?

Thanks again for all the help,
John
