Hello,
the current image is suffering on some minor bugs, those are not kernel 
related. They came up as the jornada56x stuff in openembedded is not very up 
to date. Only a few changes would be required to get everything compiling 
correctly, but I am very busy at the moment and I don't have enough time to 
investigte.
Is there anyone around who knows the structure of OE and is willing to change 
the jornada56x code a little?
Of course you can change/update/correct/simplify any documents I have written 
or that are on handhelds.org, everything is under the GPL license.

regards,
Alex
