OK, applied that fix, and it worked - I was able to successfully build the kernel. Unfortunately the kernel would not boot using HaRET however (stopped at loading the kernel), so given what you'd said previously about HaRET I loaded the SDG 1.2.4 bootloader onto the device, but it still doesn't want to boot:--------- snip --------- **** SDG Boot Loader for HX4700 **** Enabling MMU Identified Flash: 48F4400L0ZB0 (2x16) Machine type is iPAQ hx4700 SDRAM size: 64 MB (0x04000000) SDG Boot Loader, Rev 1.2.2-hx4700 [BIG_KERNEL] [MONO] Last link date: Mon Jun 12 15:48:23 EDT 2006 Contact: supp...@sdgsystems.com CPU company: INTEL CPU Architecture: XScale CPU Part: PXA270 ARM Processor Rev=00050000 (C) 2000-2001 Compaq Computer Corporation, provided with NO WARRANTY under the terms of the GNU General Public License.

I can only assume there is some problem in the way I am building the kernel (using a recipe with OpenEmbedded).
hmm, my wild guess would be that the kernel is not receiving the correct partition information. I don't know how HaRET communicates the partition information, but the SDG bootloader uses the mtdparts kernel parameter, which in turn requires CONFIG_MTD_CMDLINE_PARTS to be defined in the kernel config file. Also if you define CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE you should see some kernel output on the LCD screen. _______________________________________________ Angstrom-distro-devel mailing list Angstrom-distro-devel@linuxtogo.org http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/angstrom-distro-devel
