Cool! I'm glad that people are not just *waiting*, but doing something! ;-). One suggestion though: please cc: haret at handhelds.org on any haret topics, that will make sure any such findings are not lost, but incorporated into mainline. > When trying to boot Linux, all things are fine until haret goes into the > following function : "prepForKernel()" and exit with the following > exception : "Page at 0x400000 not mapped".

Please submit any patches you produced - that will ensure there's a progress, instead of many people doing same work over and over again. > Sorry for my english, i am french ;) > Good luck.
