Re: Trying to boot Linux on a HP iPAQ hx2100

Hi again,

Finally I've successfully booted Linux with the files at
http://nw.distl.net/hx2410...
The problem was that I had downloaded the initrd file from there with
Firefox and the download was corrupted (wrong file size). Later I tried with
wget and it was ok.

Burt, could you please explain to this list what were the changes you made
to be able to boot from a SD card?

Thanks to Richard Purdie and Burt for their work. I'm looking forward to the
next release of this port. If you want me to test anything in my iPAQ hx2100
I'll be glad to help.

Diego
