Ok. So I've copied the root filesystem as suggested and created a jffs2
image and flashed that onto an ipaq. Still doesn't work. So for kicks I
grabbed the tarball for task-bootstrap from the Familiar v.4 directory and
created a jffs2 image from that. Also doesn't work. So I performed a
complete reinstall on the ipaq (bootloader, carefully set all bootloader
params, 2.4.3 kernel, and the task-bootstrap image that I created. Same
problem. So I assume I'm simply creating the jffs2 image incorrectly. At
present, I have unrolled the bootstrap tarball as root and then created
the image as root. Anyone have any suggestions where I may be going awry?
I've attached the serial console log just in case I've set any bootloader
params incorrectly or something.
