RE: Familiar on 5450 - Kernel upgrade

Hi all,

Thanks for all your help I managed to get my iPAQ 5450 up and running
with PPP over serial working. So when I'd got my iPAQ networking routed
through my laptop and proxy server, I ran ipkg update and ipkg upgrade.

This apparently broke my system. :(

This is the output from the bootloader "boot" instruction:

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anyone know how to fix / regress?
The other problem is that when trying to load any modules, I always get
errors from the snd-5400 module. The message is that it contains
unresolved symbols. Especially annoying is when I have tried to install
and load the stowaway keyboard module - ipkg seems to download and
install it fine but when I try to insmod / modprobe it, I get an error
saying the file could not be located.
Any help with any of these issues would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Erik

Did you try using PPP over the serial line. From Debian is very simple.
You only need a script to run from root like the following:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
  #!/bin/bash
# Creates  PPP connection
# WARNING 'iPAQ must not be logged on serial line (must be at login:) #
(The following command must be on a single line from '/' to '&')
/usr/sbin/pppd /dev/ttyS0 115200 192.168.0.1:192.168.0.2 ms-dns 
195.130.224.18 nodetach local noauth nocrtscts lock user ppp connect 
"/usr/sbin/chat -v -t3 ogin--ogin: ppp" &
# Setup for NetFilter
#
# Empties main table
iptables -F
# Empties 'nat' table
iptables -t nat -F
# Sets up "forwarding"
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.0.2 -j SNAT --to 10.0.155.155
# Accepts packets to route iptables -A FORWARD -s 192.168.0.2 -j ACCEPT
# Turns forwarding on
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
This creates a PPP connection to your iPAQ and allows it to share your 
Internet connection.
You can log into you iPAQ from the Debian (Linux box) with the command:
ssh -l root 192.168.0.2 and, if you configure porperly the iPAQ
resolv.conf file, access the 
Internet from it.
