Great! So it means that the newlly compiled linexec from Yuusei now works
out-of-box with germans jornadas :-)

Try this:
Download the files:
bootstrap-image-jornada720-20050406002314.rootfs.tar.bz2
and, for X/gpe:
gpe-image-jornada720-20050406002314.rootfs.tar.bz2
or, for opie:
opie-image-jornada720-20050406002314.rootfs.tar.bz2

from:
ftp://ftp.handhelds.org/distributions/familiar/snapshots/v0.8.2/20050406/

then uncompress both selected files and put the kernel modules inside the
linux partition and populate the /dev, (may be you should create 'c 254
0 /dev/h3600_ts' and 'c 254 1 /dev/h3600_tsraw' )
Boot with the kernel you want. (2.4.19-rmk6-pxa1-hh3-j720-3 may work)

I don't know if these informations are correct, I'll test it some day.

bye,
