Lex, How can I know if it is `VFS' or `UFS'?
I am using ``zImage-2.6.21-hh20.bin.'' Here is my startup file: --- # This is startup file for HaRET, Linux bootloader for WinCE # http://handhelds.org/wiki/HaRET set kernel "zImage-2.6.21-hh20.bin" # Boot choices. Uncomment 'set' statements in exactly one section ## Choice 1 - Boot from SD/MMC card # Have 2 partition on a card: # 1st - FAT with HaRET executable, this file and zImage above # 2nd - EXT2 with rootfs tarball extracted set cmdline "root=/dev/ram0 rootdelay=10 console=ttyS0,115200n8 console=tty0 rdinit=/sbin/init" ## Choice 2 - Boot from CF card, setup like above #set cmdline "root=/dev/hda2 rootdelay=10 console=ttyS0,115200n8 console=tty0" ## Choice 3 - Boot rootfs image as initramfs (works only for smaller images) # have a cpio.gz file below together with zImage, no EXT2 partition required #set initrd "<image>.rootfs.cpio.gz" #set cmdline "rdinit=/sbin/init console=ttyS0,115200n8 console=tty0" ## Choice 4 - Boot via NFS over USB networking (must be kernel-builtin) # 192.168.x.x - Server address (the other side) # 192.168.y.y - Handheld's address #set cmdline "root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=192.168.x.x:<nfs_path> ip=192.168.y.y:192.168.x.x:192.168.x.x:255.255.255.0:pda:usb0 console=ttyS0,115200n8 console=tty0" ramboot #bootlinux --- Please note that I tried with ramboot or bootlinux, at the end, but it still never work. According to this, using ``Choice 3'' should be nice, shouldn't it? I will try it. My situation is not desperate, as the ``Angstrom-x11-image-liveramdisk-2007.12-hx4700.exe'' runs perfectly on my Hx 4700 (but it directly downloaded from Angström). Is this version old? ( I think that the worst thing with the tutorials one needs to go through before having ``installed WM2003SE'' is the ``Meeting with the Dr. Touzet.'' I always have to show WM2003SE that I am able to move an appointment to another period. Damn Microsoft! As you are in the U.K., please forgive me for my really poor English. Sorry for the bad layouts of my e-mails (I am here working on Windows (that does not happen at lot!)). Thanks, Lex.

It could be that the kernel that you are using does not have ramdisk support. Is that 'VFS', not 'UFS'? > I had commented out the ``bootlinux'' command at the end of my > startup.txt.bootimage, and placed, as you advised me to do, ``ramboot'' at > the place of ``bootlinux'' too. Could it be the source of all the errors? It could be. Could you post your startup script please, and tell me again which kernel and initramfs you are booting? > am trying to do the contrary now.

There's the WM2003 startup, touchscreen calibration and the tutorials one needs to go through before WM2003 is usable. I guess that Microsoft didn't count on people not staying in WM2003 for very long. :) > It is only 5 P.M. here! Which country do you live in? I'm in the U.K., but I am awake at odd times (awake 17 hours, slept 3 hours, awake again, and the way I feel, I'll be sleeping again soon!).
