[iPAQ] Re: stowaway problem on familiar 0.5 solved

I've redone this with familiar 0.5.1 (pre 1 or whatever's on the site
now -- it's confusing!), and here are some more notes.

- I forgot to mention that to make h3600_stowaway permanently loaded,
  you need to add it to /etc/modules. (This may be obvious to most;
  it wasn't to me...)

- With this kernel, the boot params settings make more sense: you must
  *remove* the "console=/dev/ttySA0" part from the linuxargs variable.
  To make this change persistent, add this to /boot/params:
    set linuxargs noinitrd root=/dev/mtdblock1 init=/linuxrc

- Unfortunately, with this kernel, the old stowaway driver bug seems
  back: after suspending power and resuming, the "cat /dev/stowaway"
  process is still alive, but the stowaway keyboard doesn't work any
  more. To fix this, you have to kill the cat and start another
  one. :-( I didn't have this problem with the 0.5 kernel... :-(
