Oh, yeah! It works. Though it frightened me to death with a lots of
following messages scrolling wildly through the screen while booting:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
<5>[   91.270000] CLEANMARKER node found at 0x014bc000, not first node
in block (0x01480000)
<5>[   91.320000] CLEANMARKER node found at 0x014c4000, not first node
in block (0x014c0000)
<4>[   91.360000] Empty flash at 0x014c7fc4 ends at 0x014c8000

...and so on
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I've been patient and my patience was finally rewarded with Angstrom bootup
logo and then working GPE. Amazing! I played with it a little - usb
networking via cradle and bluetooth (hcitool scan) seem to work fine. 
As a proof-of-concept it's simply brilliant, though in general it's
not very attractive with the current set of applications - usually users
want to see more than just gpe-terminal :)

And this frightening messages (see above), which certainly caused by
this line in fstab:
/dev/mtdblock3  /               jffs2   defaults        1  1

That's seem to be recurring problem for me every time I try fresh rootfs
images - every time I need to change etc/fstab to reflect my real
root device and filesystem (/dev/mmcblk0p1 and ext3 usually). I wonder
if there's a generic way to avoid this problem. Detecting right root by parsing
kernel command line? Or maybe adopting RedHat's strategy with mounting
filesystems by its labels? Or something else?
