Newer bootloaders should be OK to use now since we fixed the params file.

Depending upon how many weeks have passed since you last tried it, then
things might have changed... but as far as we know, it should all still
work...

I have have seen my iPAQ boot up funny (just as you describe) a couple
of times... (I think it was happening after i changed the params file) ,
but i never worked out what was going wrong... A reset always fixed it
before i could get in to debug the problem.

You could have a go with the files from
http;//intimate.handhelds.org/h3800/ ... Those are the very latest
ones... They also feature the new 'dialog' based installer. (Use
touchscreen + cursors to steer the install process)
