  Well, h5000's bootldr doesn't support SD controller at all
(unfortunately, even linux kernel dhas some problems here and there).
The log shows only with rootfs being on SD card. Linux kernel still has
to be located on ipaq flash. Bootldr should support booting from CF,
though, so with CF sleeve, one could leave flash intact.

  :) Thanks for asking. Well, as usual, time management issues from my
side:-/. H5000 should work a bit better now, though. I'm quite unlucky
that the SD controller is still a bit buggy (even more, it works
correctly in wince, so it is not unavoidable hardware bug). And also
three wasn't time to tinker with wifi, but I hope my bachelor's work
will address this topic. :)

  I have still some exams to do, so I need to keep h5000 works suspended
up to 4.9. (last exam will be done, I hope).
