Hi,

We really want to get started with linux at our Dell Axim X50v
machines, here at a research institute. But I can't get it running,
even a little bit.
Could someone please provide some step-by-step instruction on how to
get this running? And which files and version to use, etc.

We don't have a serial cable or CF cards for the moment, so if it can
be done with USB networking and SD cards that would be great,
otherwise we'll order/make the needed stuff.

Here is what I've tried:
- Downloaded the files from the downloads section of the wiki:
http://handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/DellAximX50Downloads
- Downloaded the changed haret (haret_uart.exe) from http://axim.narcotize.com/
- Downloaded the latest used kernel from the mailing list:
http://axim.narcotize.com/files/kernel26_x30_working_0.1.tar.gz
- Put the files into the "Internal Storage" of the axim x50v (in a
"linux" directory, if that matters)
- Tried running haret: It says "Detected CPU family: Unknown". I can
connect with it using telnet
- I changed the default.txt file to load the latest downloaded kernel,
and pressed the Run button

The haret terminal says:

Physical kernel address: a8008000
Preloader physical/virtual address: ab080000
Physical initrd address: a8408000
Goodbye cruel world ...

After that, it stops. No penguin with on the pocket pc or nothing. It
just hangs. I need to reset the device, and seemingly it automatically
hard resets (so it has actually done something with the ram).

Is this behaviour normal? What should I do? I really want to help, but
I must get it somewhat running first...

Greetz,
JeDi
