Hello,

I am new to this list and know nothing about development.
While I do system integration.
I wish to compile kernel 2.4.2 and make it run on ipaq.
The kernel boot but fail to mount root. See capture below.
I cannot find the full procedure to cross-compile kernel
to arm cpu. So I simply install toolchain find in handheld.org's
web page. Then do make mrproper, make clean, make bitsy_config
then make zImage.
Is there any full instruction on this issue? Pls tell me if
you know. Thanks in advance.
