RE: [iPAQ] (no subject)

  Perhaps it is just the console parameter being passed to linux from
the bootloader?

Ok. So I've rsync'd the root filesystem as described above. Then I
create a jffs2 image of this on my desktop with the following command
line:

mkfs.jffs2 -r image -o image.jffs2 -e 0x40000 -p

root filesystem is stored in directory image and this is intended for a
3600 ipaq. I then flash this onto my ipaq with the bootloader (load
root)
but when I try to boot it generates the following error (everything else
looks ok):

Warning: unable to open an initial console.
kmod: runaway modprobe loop assumed and stopped

Any suggestions? I can attach a script of the console output if that
would help.
