I've done that and am pleased to say that it boots! I did the following: 1. Reformatted the 2GB SD card that I was using. Before, it was formatted with two partitions: a 512MB Windows partition (type 'b') and a 1.5GB ext2 Linux partition. After, the partitioning was the same but the Windows partition was type '6' (Windows FAT16, I think) and I formatted it with 'mkdosfs'. 2. Downloaded the make-bootbundle.py script, HaRET 0.5, zImage-2.6.21-hh20-r21-hx4700.bin (from http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/unstable/autobuild/hx4700/). I was not able to find a HaRET startup script so I looked through one of the working boot bundles and grabbed the boot script from it. cat <<EOF # initramfs-bootmenu HaRET script # (c) 2007 Paul Sokolovsky msgbox "Attention!" "This will boot Linux. All memory will be overwritten and hard reset will be required to return to Windows Mobile. You *MUST BACKUP* your data first. Continue booting (Cancel - quit to make backup)?" 0x40031 if result == 2 exit set cmdline "rootdelay=3 ip=192.168.2.202:192.168.2.200:192.168.2.200:255.255.255.0:ipaq:usb0 console=ttyS0,115200n8 console=tty0 rdinit=/init" ramboot EOF I stuck that all together with: ./make-bootbundle.py -o initramfs-test.exe haret-0.5.exe zImage-2.6.21-hh20-r21-hx4700.bin ./initramfs-bootmenu-image-hx4700.cpio.gz ./startup.txt.bootimage .. and copied the output file (initramfs-test.exe) to the Windows partition on the SD card and executed it. The boot menu appeared and I chose the GPE X11 root filesystem (http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/unstable/autobuild/hx4700/Angstrom-x11-image-glibc-ipk-2007.12-r19-hx4700.rootfs.img.bz2, decrunched) and it booted, X started - success. 'uname -a' reports "Linux hx4700 2.6.21-hh20 #1 PREEMPT Tue Nov 25 05:43:23 CET 2008 armv5tel unknown".
