That works! Great! My cable is working!

Thanks man! I've got a booting kernel, with a serial console! The
first thing I'm going to do now, is get usb networking up and running
(for now, linuxrc isn't executed, so usb0 gets no ip address on the
pda). If that works, all the people without a serial cable can help
too!

Some questions:
- Can I get the kernel sources you used for this somewhere? Many
changes from the handhelds.org kernel? If not, a .config is enough.
- Do you know why the pxafb driver isn't working? Is that the driver
we have to go for? Maybe the vsfb driver is good enough for now (it
just maps the video memory to a framebuffer, so all initialisation has
to be done in windows, so it won't work when we get to flashing).
- Are all your developments in these sources? Or are you trying some
other things as well? In general, I just would want to know who is
still busy with this port, and how far we are down the road. I'm
starting development too now (finally!), but I don't want to do too
much double work.

I'm glad I finally got this thing booting!
