I got bored of my Palm OS and wanted to try a linux platform on it and I downloaded the TX-Bootbundle. I followed the directions as best as I could and this is the end of the failed linux boot.

" post_module script: not found.
no swap specified.
checking rootfs [/media/mmc1/opie-image-v0.8.4-rc3-palmtx.rootfs.ext2]
mounting rootfs: not a file or a block device.
failed!
could not mount root fs: init failed!
please, reset, check your configuration and retry"

does any know how to fix this problem or who can point me in the right direction?

Help guys, I just can make it
I've followed all steps in my treo650, but when booting Linux, I get the attached error and can't go on.
I'm using a 1Gb-fat16 SD card. It only has a few files:
- zImage (from zImage-2.6.21-hnd3-palmt650-20070805104504)
- initrd.gz (from initramfs-rootfs-menu-0.1.gz)
- opie.rootfs.ext2 (from Angstrom-opie-image-glibc-test-20070805-palmt650.rootfs.ext2.gz)

Don't know what I'm doing wrong, maybe the initrd?
If you have any clues, please, let me know
Thanks

HI!, I have been like three weeks with this, But i think i will never get it. I cannot run linux on my te2. I saw the instructions on the page http://www.handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/PalmTungstenE2HowTo and they said:

1.- download http://nerdfeliz.com/palmte2/garux/garux-20060401.prc (I did it, and istall it in my handheld)

2.-download http://nerdfeliz.com/palmte2/kernel/zImage.20060421
(i did it)
3.-put zImage.20060421 on root directory of card as zImage
(I did it)
install garux-20060401.prc to Palm(or put to /PALM/Launcher on card) (I did it)

4.-create rootfs on second partition of SD (see below)

I have just tried Cocoboot 0.3 and 0.4 on a Palm TX and on both occasions it has returned c01d and has failed to start - any suggestions?

I was poking around H&D and found a thread on how to emulate linux on a Tre 650 ARM device.
http://hackndev.com/node/816
I tried to follow it as best as I could and I couldnt seem to correctly emulate linux.

on the command line I typed:

C:\qemu>qemu-system-arm -M palmt650 -kernel zImage \-sd AngstromOPIE_t650-v01.rootfs.ext2 \ -append "root=/dev/mmcblk0 psplash=false"

C:\qemu>qemu-system-arm -M palmt680 -kernel zImage \ -snapshot AngstromOPIE_t650-v01.ext2 -append "root=/dev/hda psplash=false"

Hi

I installed an initrd.gz from here.

I built my own rootfs using OpenEmbedded and built my own kernel with palmt650_defconfig. I loaded all these 3 onto the SD card. I read somewhere that linux.boot.cfg was required. I could not find it.

Everything booted fine, and the "Welcome to Opie" screen came up. It said "Tap anywhere on the screen to continue". This did not work.

So I recompiled the kernel with all the touch screen drivers built in and yet nothing happens when I tap on the "Welcome to Opie" screen.

Any help will be appreciated.
