Hello:

I have an Ipaq rx4240 that hangs on boot. 

If i turn it on, the progress bar gets filled and then the PDA doesn't do anything else.

If I press 1st and 4th buttons (from the power button) and soft reset, I get the "formatting PS" message, and it does the same thing described above.

If I press the 4th and "cassette"(next to soft reset) buttons and soft reset, I get the "Boot:1.00.02" message (the progress bar remains empty), and press the 1st button and it "connects" the USB port, so it can be recognized by WinXP (when plug to a USB port, Win makes THE usb sound /tuuu-rinnn/)

Now i would like to know if I can install an open source OS on my ipaq, because I -can't/don't know how to- reinstall WM5..... or how to make the ipaq works.

Thanks for the info
