RE: [jornada] 720 installation

Would that result in the printing of something like

framebuffer: 640x240 type=6 linebytes=0 addr=0x00000000
console = 2

Error: a

when the kernel sees the bad values in r0, r1? Because I'm not
generating that particular output. Instead, I get several pages of the
alpha character. My serial console output is now at

http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/~jpearce/jp-badboot0.txt

since I can't get that character to paste to save my life.
Unfortunately, somewhere along the line the carriage returns got eaten,
so it doesn't quite display correctly, but the gist is there.

If that is in fact the character that the kernel generates, I'd better
check my hpcboot.exe. Otherwise, I think it could be something
different.

Sincerely,
Jonathan Pearce
