Milan did most of the h5000 port fixing. There are some warts left and I
don't think all of his patches have been committed to the cvs repo. But
overall, there has been a substantial improvement in the h5000 port
between Milan and his mentor, Anton. I am pretty sure that the port is
far enough along to run either GPE or Opie, but the big thing left is to
sort out power management. Milan's patches can be found on the
kernel-discuss list. But that list has been working only intermittently
for me, YMMV finding those patches.

Maria's project worked out well and her code is available here:

Feel free to give it a go over and provide opinions or support.
