1. Get a serial cable. 2. Download the needed files from hh.org or my home page and follow the instructions to run them, then you can get kernel output through your PC-side serial terminal software.(minicom etc.).
Actually you have successfully booted the kernel (if you downloaded them from our page at hh.org), there is just no output. The same case doesn't appear at x50 base version (416 MHz), at 416 version, you can see framebuffer output, including the linux logo. The output of haret you showed is normal. There is serial output after that but your can't see it because you don't have a serial cable. The hardest problem on X50V is the 2700g chip driver, after solved it, you 50v guys will be very very happy :) JeDi wrote: > Hi, > > We really want to get started with linux at our Dell Axim X50v > machines, here at a research institute.
