Everything you need to boot the testing GPE/OPIE 0.8.4-rc3 images you will find on SourceForge.

The archive is available at the following URL: http://projects.linuxtogo.org/projects/palmtx/

this archive contains a version of garux with everything embedded and a kernel image you can use with Alex' cocoboot (no initrd needed as the kernel includes a initramfs); a linux.boot.cfg is provided as well.

Decompress the rootfs images and place them on the root directory of your memory card.

If you want you can configure the name of your root and swap by creating (in the same directory) a file named linux.boot.cfg that contains the following lines:

ROOT_DEV=/media/mmc1/gpe-image-v0.8.4-rc3-palmtx.rootfs.ext2
SWAP_DEV=/media/mmc1/swap.fs (not mandatory)

or

ROOT_DEV=/media/mmc1/opie-image-v0.8.4-rc3-palmtx.rootfs.ext2
SWAP_DEV=/media/mmc1/swap.fs (not mandatory)

If you partitioned your card, make the variables point to the partitions you use as root and/or swap, e.g.:

ROOT_DEV=/dev/mmcblk0p5
SWAP_DEV=/dev/mmcblk0p6 (not mandatory)

note: init mounts the first partition (mmcblk0p1, the one seen by POS) to /media/mmc1 (better if formatted FAT16)

note: both images are absolutely no official releases, their purpose is to let you have some fun
