I keep old haret versions at: http://www.handhelds.org/~koconnor/haret/ Can you verify what the behavior is with v0.4.8 and v0.5.0? > So maybe this issue is to do with the kernel size? It could be, but it seems odd. If you're willing to compile your own version of haret, you could try changing the initrd offset by changing the following in src/linboot.cpp from: #define PHYSOFFSET_INITRD (PHYSOFFSET_KERNEL + 0x500000) to something like: #define PHYSOFFSET_INITRD (PHYSOFFSET_KERNEL + 0x1000000) The other change that went in around that time was a different memory allocator: http://git.linuxtogo.org/?p=kevin/haret.git;a=commitdiff;h=6acd3b6cd5360dfcd84c23bc70e601326127aad4 Finally, it would help if you could use the "earlyharetlog.txt" trick and forward the log messages from a failed and successful boot case. > Quoting [email protected]: > > Version 0.5.1, 0.5.2, 0.3.8 all resulted in the device resetting > > before any loading messages appeared on the screen.

I vaguely remember porting over the code from rx3000 project so that it would work with standard haret. I'm surprised it has reverted. -Kevin _______________________________________________ Haret mailing list [email protected] https://handhelds.org/mailman/listinfo/haret
