Jul 21 20:50:28 jumping to kernel... it's freezed may be Jul 21 21:08:06 what can i do? Jul 21 21:08:13 i need a distro for my ipaq Jul 21 21:09:31 rek: angstrom's more geared to running from a card Jul 21 21:09:41 how Jul 21 21:09:52 i put it on my sd? Jul 21 21:09:58 if you can build an image that supports jffs2 you could probably boot from internal flash like familiar, but that's more tricky Jul 21 21:10:06 i'm booting with the live file Jul 21 21:10:24 i'm not that able Jul 21 21:10:41 hw what card? Jul 21 21:10:41 rek: so what do you not get with the live ramdisk that you need? Jul 21 21:11:02 jumping to kernel... it's freezed may be Jul 21 21:12:04 what's the best distro for my ipaq h5550 Jul 21 21:12:21 hmm, you could try using haret to boot instead Jul 21 21:12:32 instructions should be on the angstrom site Jul 21 21:12:51 probably angstrom, I don't think anyone else is targeting old ipaqs Jul 21 21:13:19 haret boot infact Jul 21 21:13:28 it's the first thing written Jul 21 21:13:42 is my ipaq that old? Jul 21 21:13:47 i think it's cool Jul 21 21:14:42 well, old in handheld terms Jul 21 21:15:02 I have one (but not with me here, it's in another country), so I like them too Jul 21 21:15:19 I have an h3900 here next to me, that's a bit older Jul 21 21:17:12 ;-) Jul 21 21:17:19 you live in two country?

Jul 21 21:20:15 I'm living in the UK at the moment but I'm from New Zealand, I plan on going back there in a few years Jul 21 21:21:25 expensive? Jul 21 21:21:29 what could i do? Jul 21 21:21:32 any advice? Jul 21 21:21:45 how can i load angstrom in my h5550 Jul 21 21:22:31 I'm just trying to find some documentation at the moment, hang on Jul 21 21:23:15 ok Jul 21 21:23:17 thx Jul 21 21:25:42 rek: there's some info here: http://linuxtogo.org/gowiki/WinCeQuickInstall Jul 21 21:25:48 just skip the "preview" part Jul 21 21:28:11 blue Jul 21 21:28:19 i uncompress the bz ? Jul 21 21:28:32 in the sd Jul 21 21:28:49 in the same place i run liveramdisk ? Jul 21 21:30:36 hang on a sec Jul 21 21:33:22 boot.ex i found it only for h4000 Jul 21 21:38:08 rek: you need haret: http://www.handhelds.org/~koconnor/haret/haret-0.5.2.exe Jul 21 21:38:25 ok Jul 21 21:38:44 however it says jumping to kernel but nothing happens Jul 21 21:39:10 what can i do with haret? Jul 21 21:39:25 haret boot is already in angstrom boot Jul 21 21:39:40 you need to put it on the card along with the uncompressed image, startup.txt and zimage (the kernel) Jul 21 21:40:18 sorry, I wish this was written down somewhere but at the moment I can't find any good docs Jul 21 21:41:22 i need a txt Jul 21 21:41:30 a script file it says Jul 21 21:41:41 ok Jul 21 21:41:47 i downloaodsakodaj them Jul 21 21:41:50 hang on Jul 21 21:41:54 startup.txt is in the h5000 download folder Jul 21 21:42:00 ;-) Jul 21 21:42:04 now i grub it Jul 21 21:42:35 I was looking for some up-to-date images but 2007.x seems to be the latest available (and the new online image builder "narcissus" fails to build an image for h5000) Jul 21 21:44:03 bluelightning: Jul 21 21:44:37 failed to load image 2.6.21-hh20-r6-h5000.bin Jul 21 21:44:40 why Jul 21 21:45:35 rek: so what do you have on the card exactly? Jul 21 21:46:07 a lot of things Jul 21 21:46:16 i'm reading startup Jul 21 21:46:26 maybe i'm doing something bad Jul 21 21:46:27 firstly I'd strongly recommend that you use a card with nothing else on it Jul 21 21:46:35 only the files required to boot Jul 21 21:46:49 makes things simpler Jul 21 21:46:50 therse a folder named 1 to do some order Jul 21 21:46:57 and.... Jul 21 21:47:07 the angsrom liveramdisk Jul 21 21:47:47 try to read startup.txt Jul 21 21:48:02 choice 1 boot from SD Jul 21 21:49:14 Choice 1 - Boot from SD/MMC card Jul 21 21:49:14 # Have 2 partition on a card: Jul 21 21:49:14 # 1st - FAT with HaRET executable, this file and zImage above Jul 21 21:49:14 # 2nd - EXT2 with rootfs tarball extracted Jul 21 21:49:14 set cmdline "root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootdelay=10 console=ttyS0,115200n8 console=tty0" Jul 21 21:50:09 ah ok i need to create 2 folders ? Jul 21 21:51:47 bluelightning: ? Jul 21 21:53:14 rek: I don't think so... either you create two partitions (ie, repartition your SD card) or you just have everything in the root directory of the card Jul 21 21:54:20 same thing? Jul 21 21:54:25 w can i do? Jul 21 21:56:39 i'll try the image of 3900 Jul 21 21:56:51 I don't think that will work...
