Hello there,

Greets to all list members. This is my first posting. 


I decided to put linux on my XDA... so i collected several information
and finally found the tool haret that runs linux kernel without
reflashing the XDA. I think it's the way to go until I found the
distribution that runs well on my XDA 2 (Himalaya). 

So, there is the first problem... familar distribution is developed for
HP IPaq's... will it run with my XDA 2? 

This page describes booting familar linux kernel with that device:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HimalayaLinuxBooting
(I bootet the offered kernel and initrd image successfully, but it's not
a familar kernel)

The XDA2 contains an XScale Processor, Intel PXA263A (400Mhz)... i think
it's very similar to some IPaq devices...

My first question: in which mode should I compile the familar kernel,
32Bit little-endian or 32Bit big-endian? The XScale can run in both
modes, right? Or should I even run in 16 Bit mode? 

Any help would be greatly appreciated :)!
