Hi,
I am trying to compile my own linux kernel for my iPAQ. I want to learn more
about the iPAQ so I don't used the CVS sources from handhelds.org. I have
downloaded the current 2.4.17 kernel and the 2.4.17-rmk4 patches. I have
used the h3600 configuration from /arch/arm/def-configs. But my kernel fails
to mount the root partition. I think it is because it fails to read the
compaq bootldr parition definitions. If I boot a kernel compiled with the
handhelds kernel sources from CVS it says:
Using Compaq bootldr partition definition
Creating 2 MTD partitions on "SA1100 flash":
0x00000000-0x00040000 : "bootldr"
mtd: Giving out device 0 to bootldr
0x00040000-0x02000000 : "root"
mtd: Giving out device 1 to root
But if I use my own kernel it says something like "Using static paritition
definitions" or something like that (I have currently no access to the
original output) and it uses FOUR partitions. I have enabled
the option "Compaq bootldr partition table parsing" in the kernel
configuration but it looks like that doesn't help.
Is there another option I need to enable? Or do I need the hh2-Patch to get
this working? If yes, please answer my second mail I have written some minutes
ago regarding where I can download the hh-Patches separatley.
