What we need as well is dmesg output. You can easily gather it by doing
following steps:

1. add "rootdelay=10 console=ttySA0 console=tty0" to kernel parameters
(third line of params.txt). This will make console stuff appear on the
serial port as well as on the jornada screen.

2. Connect jornada to a PC with a serial cable

3. Run minicom on a PC, set appropiate serial port, and parameters to
9600N8.

4. boot the jornada

5. Copy output from minicom to a file

6. Send this file here.


have fun :),
