RE: [iPAQ] linux installation

Hello John,

You are probably OK. What version of the boot loader are you using? I would
suggest that you use the boot loader in the v0.13 directory. It seems that
there is a flash chip with a different manufactures id number in some of the
newer units, that the pre v0.12 boot loaders do not recognize.

Best Regards,
