ok, so it's fixed. sjohnson on #intimate helped me out on this, basically,
the device file is set up in the intimate20010622.tgz file with a major node
of 253, and it should be 254.
if you try this at home, kids, just do the following to make it work:
first, clear out all the modules that are locking h3600_ts ( apm,
h3600-sleeve, and h3600-backpaq )
then rmmod h3600_ts
rm /dev/ts
mknod /dev/ts c 254 0
then just insmod h3600_ts, and all that other crap if you want it....
cheers, and thanks again sjohnson....

Finished the install, but the touchscreen seems dead. I'm still poking around, but so far, no luck. I've tried yanking out modules ( apm, backpaq ) that were loaded by default from the tarball, but so far no luck. I know that X is running, and I can even launch rxvt successfully, but the touch screen is a no go. I do have the following note I found on handhelds: http://handhelds.org/z/wiki/BootLinuxWithoutFlashing#34 which states: "3.4 Troubleshooting ts is linked to a bad node with 2.4.4-rmk3-np1-hh1 ... fix it" but Tangent's tarball uses 2.4.3-rmk2-np1 so I will try reinstalling the hs_utils to see if that fixes it, but if anyone has any recommendations, i'm all ears.... -P -----Original Message----- From: Patrick Glennon Sent: Thursday, July 12, 2001 12:58 PM To: intimate@handhelds.org Subject: RE: [Intimate] Dual booting Intimate with CE. also, intimate20010622.tgz is located at http://intimate.handhelds.org/intimate20010622.tgz and NOT under the installer directory.

Hi, I've got intimate dual-booting with CE now! I use the stuff that was posted the the ipaq@hh.org mailing list a couple of months ago by Arisme ( http://firelemure.yi.org/ipaq/ ), and made my own kernel and ramdisk images. The install procedure is somewhat compilcated at the moment, but I'll work on that later. For now, you need to already have intimate installed to make it work... and you need to have it installed in a non-standard way. But before I tell you how it's done, here's a severe warning... so sever that I'm going to put asterisks around it and type it all in capitals... *** WHEN YOU BOOT INTIMATE FROM WITHIN CE, THE DEVICE NODES FOR /dev/mtdblock/x ARE ALL PRESENT. IF YOU WRITE ANY DATA TO THESE IN ANY WAY, YOU _WILL) SCREW UP CE. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES 'mount /boot' BECAUSE IF YOU DO, JFFS2 WILL TURN YOUR CE ROMS INTO A JFFS2 FILESYSTEM. DEFINATELY DO NOT DO _ANYTHING_ TO /dev/mtdblock/0. IT IS THE CE BOOTLOADER. MESS WITH THAT AND YOU HAVE A BRICK *** OK.. that's got that over with.. Now onto how it works. Here's how it goes... 1. Partition your microdrive into three partitions. hda1 = FAT16 partition for CE to use hda2 = swap (no more than 32767KB, or your ipaq will become unstable) hda3 = reiserfs / (We're going to put intimate onto here.) 2. Create and format (and mkswap) all the partitions. 3. Untar the intimate20010622.tgz image onto hda3 4. edit the /etc/fstab for the untarred image. It needs to know that hda3 = / reiserfs (it'll be set on hda1 by default) 5. Restore CE onto your iPAQ. (If you didn't already have it.) 6. Download http://intimate.handhelds.org/installer/BootIntimate.zip and unzip it onto the hda1 windows CE partition.. (i.e. use WinZip + ActiveSync to move the files). There should be 5 files in the archive. They all need to go onto the hda1 partition. 7. On the iPAQ, use 'File Explorer', and click the CyaCE-YACH.exe executable. It'll load up linux.redboot, linux.kernel and linux.initrd, and then start up redboot. (You can monitor the progress at 38400 bps on the serial port). 8. Linux will boot up.. find the microdrive.. pivot_root onto the microdrive, unmount the ramdisk, and boot intiamte... Hey presto... You get all your memory back, and you have the microdrive as root. Of course.... Sleep mode will not work, as that relies on the CRL bootloader.. Getting installed either requires a laptop to configure, format and install onto the microdrive, or you already needed to have familiar installed on your iPAQ in the first place. However.. Now that I've got this bit working, I may rig up an install from CE procedure, so that people can try out intimate before committing to reflashing the ipaq itself (which of course could be done from inside linux). _______________________________________________ Intimate mailing list Intimate@handhelds.org http://handhelds.org/mailman/listinfo/intimate _______________________________________________ Intimate mailing list Intimate@handhelds.org http://handhelds.org/mailman/listinfo/intimate _______________________________________________ Intimate mailing list Intimate@handhelds.org http://handhelds.org/mailman/listinfo/intimate _______________________________________________ Intimate mailing list Intimate@handhelds.org http://handhelds.org/mailman/listinfo/intimateReceived on Thu Jul 12 19:45:14 2001
