Greetings,

Sound as you said is currently not supported. Initrd is not required for 2.6 
kernels (on 2.4 it was needed to activate CF/PCMCIA slot), so just point to 
your root partition inside params.txt (and leave the initrd line blank).
Irda is most likely due to a config miss on my part.Loadkeys should work 
fine (atleast it does for me).
Touchscreen is a known error, something in the opie settings that creates it 
(as X works just fine).

Thx for feedback, always appreciated.

Best wishes
Kristoffer
