Have I reached the state of the art?

So after navigating the vibrating brick issue successfully with some help from
this mailing list, I managed to get some indication of Linux on the 5450.

When I entered "boot" at the "boot>" prompt I got a little bit of output to
the serial terminal then the screen of the iPAQ came alive, and I saw the Tux
image. The boot sequence text starting scrolling fast over an image on the
background that looked like it was sized wrong. Eventually everything booted
up okay and I got the "familiar login>"

As others have mentioned, after just a few seconds everything locks up. In
the few seconds before it does so, though I managed to kill xcalibrate and I
got a nice looking app on the screen that had a keyboard and was asking for a
bunch of owner information.

Since others have indicated their system is locking up also, am I correct to
assume that I've reached the state of the art for Linux on the 5450, or is
there a solution to the lock-up that I don't know about?
