I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this.  If not sorry!.

I'm having problems installing/booting.  I've read thru as much as I can 
find but I can't find much detail relating to this problem.  I'd love 
some assistance or guidance.

Here's the details:

IPAQ 3835
Using bootloader 2.21.12 - installed with no problems.
Downloaded several different packages including GPE and OPIE.
The site gives me (via their form) h2200 2.16.15 package.


issue a "load root" and upload the jffs2 package via serial-Ymodem with 
no problems
then boot.  Here's what it gives me:

boot> boot
booting jffs2...
booting boot/zImage from partition >root<
loaded file of size = 0x00153714 at location 0xC0008000
kernel partition base C0008000
kernel_magic=EA0003FE
kernel_region_words[9]=00000000
Unrecognized kernel image

based on some other posting I tried being a little more specific about 
what to boot in  case a link was wrong.
boot> ls /boot
zImage
zImage-2.6.15-hh2

boot> boot jffs2 /boot/zImage (also tried just zImage)
booting /boot/zImage from partition >root<
loaded file of size = 0x00153714 at location 0xC0008000
kernel partition base C0008000
kernel_magic=EA0003FE
kernel_region_words[9]=00000000
Unrecognized kernel image
boot> boot /boot/zImage

I've seen a few others having similar problems, but the failure is so 
generic I'm not sure where to start troubleshooting.
Thanks for your assistance
