One issue with the kernel I use is that it doesn't recognize all media.
If you are using CF default.txt root=/dev/hda2 (depending on
how you partition your card)
and for SD cards use: root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 (A few users have
managed to use it on SD,
I personally haven't been able to- I get read errors on my generic SD
cards.)
Besure you soft-reset windows if you can before running HaRET, it
gives you better chances of it running.
If you can use another system you can telnet in to the HaRET when
the machine is on the same WiFi Lan to watch it preboot,
and see WHERE it is getting stalled at.
One of these days, I'll get more time and compile a new kernel, maybe
fix the screen issue... but since it doesn't affect my unit, testing
will be a pain.
--at that point I'll be screaming for volunteers to see if anything
works on fixing it.
My 2 cents,
Ken

Well, I tried using the kernel from Ken's site for the hx2495 and the
kernel for the hx4100. Ken's kernel (v196) was able to proceed past
the haret screen. It gave me the shifted screen issue and could not
find the root device. I played with some different device names in
default.txt, but had no success. The hx4100 kernel didn't get past
the haret screen (go figure). I'll put in some more time on this
tomorrow, then I'm off to Chicago for the weekend.
Where will I be able to help on this project? I'm not capable of
kernel coding, but I'm willing to put my time into learning if I have
to. Next week I'm going to play around with OE and Familiar to get a
solid grasp on what we're dealing with here.

Hello, I'm new to the list -- I've got a hx2795b that I'd love to have
running linux. I'm about to start playing around with putting a
kernel on my 256MB CF by PNY. I'll post results once I have something
of substance. I'm not a coder, but I might be able to put some pieces
together if I have to, we will see. If anyone else has gotten an
image working on the hx2795b, then please let me know! If the project
needs any hosting I can offer it up courtesy of my Dreamhost account.
I'm looking forward to getting something working here.
