Re: [jornada] JORNADA FOR SALE

Peter,
  What version of the kernel are you using? I remember a posting by John
Ankcorn saying that he had gotten power management working (it was on May
8). Did this ever get submitted to the CVS tree? Also, how did you load
a filesystem? I compiled kernel 2.4.18-rmk3 and it boots (I get serial
output from hpcboot.exe, and tux shows up on my jornada screen) but then
stops because I can't figure out how to load a filesystem. I've looked at
all the websites I can find about this but I'm not having any luck (I
probably don't need to mention this , but I have little kernel hacking
experience :-)

Any pointers?

Thanks!
