Description Rafael Diniz 2005-03-27 22:47:11 UTC 
Distribution: can't get any framebuffer or console, could not exec init :-(
Hardware Environment: ARM StrongArm 1110 206Mhz without flashboard.
Software Environment: Latest kernel working was a 2.4.18-rmk3-hh10 + patch:
http://people.debian.org/~dexter/j720/kernel/epson1356fb.c.patch
Problem Description: WinCE boots (its into a ro memory) but with linexec (linux
loader) the handheld, loading a kernel 2.6.11-hh0, freezes.

Steps to reproduce:
just load a 2.6.x-hh0 kernel:
http://www.handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/Linux26ToolsAndSources
with linexec (and probably with other loaders) and the machine will freeze.
Comment 1 Rafael Diniz 2005-04-19 20:02:07 UTC 
This issue is been discussed in linux-jornada email list:  
jornada@handhelds.org
there are a 2.4 kernel working nice: 
linux-2.4.19-rmk6-pxa1-hh3-j720-3
The 2.6.x-hh jornada mantainer (w/ flashboard) says the problem can be at the
kernel entry point or somewhere near that. Or maybe with the loader...
Comment 2 Rafael Diniz 2005-05-30 20:46:09 UTC 
Michael Gernoth is mantaining a patch set that makes the latest 2.4 kernel works
nice:

Comment 3 Russell King 2005-06-26 15:26:21 UTC 
I don't have this hardware... and I don't know who is supposed to be responsible
for this hardware in 2.6... ok to reject this bug?

(This bugzilla is for mainline kernels.)
Comment 4 Rafael Diniz 2005-06-28 15:26:48 UTC 
for me its ok to reject this bug.
Comment 5 Rafael Diniz 2005-08-23 13:07:41 UTC 
kernel boots and lots of things are working.

    [PATCH] ARM: 2844/1: Add maintainer for Jornada 720

    As discussed on the handhelds.org Jornada mailinglist, I take over

    the mainline kernel.
