[iPAQ] Linux installation problem (not fatal...)

I installed Linux on my brand new iPAQ H3630 and I followed the instructions
on the handhelds.org site. It went well up to point 16, but I got a problem
with point 17 ('load kernel' and xmodem transfer of the file zImage...). The
file was being transfered then the transfer halted at approximately 170 kb.
I waited but it didn't restart. I canceled the transfert, but then I could
not type anything in the HyperTerminal window. I had to reboot the iPAQ with
the button under it and my PC too. Then when I connected again with
HyperTerminal, I got the 'boot>' prompt and I was able to do a 'load kernel'
again and this time it worked. After I installed Linux, I restored WindowsCE
to check it worked, and then re-installed Linux. I had exactly the same
problem the second time at the same point, with the same solution.
