[iPAQ] Probably not new.... but it didn't work (iPaQ)

Hello anyone who can help!

I have tried an install of Linux on an iPaQ H3630 with
32MB... followed instructions by setting osloader-1.3.0.exe and
bootldr-c002-2.9.5 (I know you have a newer but I was given a CD with
this one...), renamed to bootldr, on iPaQ via Windows Sync
software, did the backup of 4x .bin files and tried to start the "Run
after loading from file" but when I selected it with the pen it started
the "Run" above it...(damn...)

I tried the rest of the install anyway and got the connection with Linux
machine and minicom and even a "boot>" promt. The problem was only that
every xmodem transfer of bootldr-0000-2.9.5 resulted in RX errors
(receive errors?). I finally gave up (yesterday) and today I can't get
anything from my iPaQ... also nothing from minicom serial connection
(tried hard-reboot pin and everything....).

What now.. I can't wait to get this up and running!

I have no interesst in reinstalling WinCE, would rather do it on the
Linux side! [;)]

Any help would be greatly welcome and you can call me anytime (I will
call you back).
