RE: [jornada] Linux 2.4.27 on Jornada 720

Hi,

I have tried your new kernel but unfortunately the keyboard is frozen all
the time (for all boots). Worse (I don't know how to explain this) my old
kernel (Rafael's) doesn't work anymore either: the keyboard is frozen each
and every time too. It never happened in the past for me though. I wiped out
the entire FAT partition and copied the files back but it's still the same
:( Maybe something got modified on the linux partion ? Any ideas ?

Unrelated: does the sound in your kernel work stereo ? I see that there are
two sound drivers ...

Thanks,
Daniel

Hi,
after installing Debian/Sarge on my Jornada 720 (thanks Rafael for the
nice howto!), I tried to get a more modern kernel running on the
machine.
I succeded with linux-2.4.27 patched with the vrs and pxa pacthes and
the addition of some j720-pieces from the 2.4.19-rmk6-pxa1-hh3-j720-3
kernel version on Rafaels page.

The machine is running with all features I tested:
- Console on display / Xfbdev
- Keyboard
- Touchscreen
- Sound
- Compactflash
- PCMCIA ne2k, orinoco, serial cards
- Switching display off with power-button
- j720_control
- IPv6 ;-)

The only problem which I encountered is, that sometimes the keyboard and
touchscreen won't work after boot. But I also had exactly this behaviour
with 2.4.19, so it's not introduced with the updated kernel.

I have updated Rafaels initrd to contain the additional modules for
2.4.27.

On my website is now a patch against vanilla 2.4.27, a built kernel, a
modules-archive, the initrd and the .config:
http://wwwcip.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/~simigern/jornada-7xx/linux-2.4.27-vrs1-pxa1-j720/
(The toolchain used to compile the kernel is the one found on Rafaels
page)

I would be very interested to hear if this works for anybody else ;-)

Regards,
  Michael
