Re: [iPAQ] stowaway with fam 0.5alpha

Nah...

I just do full system reboots, and I can confirm that getty is NOT
running. So if this thing is kernel related, is there anyone else out
there running 2.4.7 and has a stowaway working?? I think I'm gonna
reload my Ipaq with the fam4, test stowd, then upgrade to 2.4.6 then
test then do it again with 2.4.7. I'll post results later...

But if this is a kernel issue, switching to fam4 shouldn't matter
right?? i mean in fam4 i was running 2.4.7 anyways to run my dual
sleeve.
