Oh thanks, i just overlooked the modules file in the directory. :) After installing these modules package and comparing with the original /lib/modules/2.4.24 directory i see that in the root all the modules.* files are missing. I don't know if these files are needed or not so i looked in the openmoko-qtopia-x11-image-om-gta02.tar.gz file and copied these files from there to my new 2.4.24 directory. Before booting i got Linux IjonTichy 2.6.24 #1 PREEMPT Tue Jul 29 01:19:38 UTC 2008 armv4tl GNU/Linux and now after booting i got Linux IjonTichy 2.6.24 #1 PREEMPT Mon Aug 25 01:23:27 CEST 2008 armv4tl GNU/Linux But it seems that the kernel changes some things because while booting i got an error that the usb device couldn't be set up. Also the touchscreen seems to be a bit different. When i touch a point the cursor jumps a small bit below this point and than goes to exactly this point. But the click is recognized at the point below. So sometimes i missed the keys on the matchbox keyboard. Wlan and gps works like before without problems. Someone know how to fix the usb and touchscreen problem? Does a touchscreen recalibration has any effect for this kind of problem? The boot log messages show that the usb core is loaded: ... usbcore: registered new interface driver usbfs usbcore: registered new interface driver hub usbcore: registered new device driver usb ... But when setting usb0 up for networking it says no such device for usb0.
