[Hpipaq21x-devel] Haret booting

[Kuba Irzabek]

Hi Oliver,

I tried to boot a vanilla 2.6.27 kernel with zylonite default config 
from haret - experimenting just for fun and learning. But I cannot get 
it to work even a litlle bit.
I compiled the kernel using Angstrom toolchain (OpenEmbedded). I put 
haret.exe, kernel and default.txt in My Documents folder.
This is my default.txt:

set kernel "zImage-2.6.27"
set ramaddr 0xa0000000
set ramsize 0x04000000
set initrd "initrd.bin"
set cmdline "rdinit=/sbin/init"
set mtype 1233
set kernelcrc 0
set fbduringboot 1
bootlinux


I tried also with different ramaddr (taken from your default.txt), 
uncompressed kernel image and without initrd and cmdline (I'm not sure 
if I need initrd to put anything on screen using framebuffer). Of course 
when using initrd I compiled the kernel with support for that. I 
compiled haret from cvs and compressed the initrd from rootfs of 
angstrom-base-image, which I built myself from the dev branch.

The result is only some garbage on the lcd and ipaq hanging. I would 
like to see some output from kernel on the screen. On haret mailing list 
you wrote (in the beginning of your work with ipaq) you succeded in 
using stock kernel with haret - it displayed splash logo, etc. Could you 
please tell me what is needed to do this (if you remember of course)? 
I'm just curios why it isn't working.


Thanks for your help and time!

Kuba

P.S. What is the state of wifi right now?
