I am sure you have installed Familiar with OPIE. I have discovered this staus
on my h3850 & h3970 too. Thing to solve this issue is connect to your booted
ipaq with serial port and minicom. Then you can login as root using username
root :-) and comment in file /etc/init.d/opie this line :
    /sbin/getkey 5 "Starting Opie in 5 seconds... press key to interrupt." &&
exit 0
