ipaq 3800 Linux
Thursday, February 14, 2002[5:16:17 PM]
It's been a rough couple of days on the ipaq front.
I ran the battery completely down. It wouldn't boot; it wouldn't charge (no flashing light). I left it charging in the cradle over night, and it booted just fine this morning.
Except that the ethernet card didn't work. Oops.
The relevant error message was:
modprobe: cannot locate module net-pf-10
The solution is to add the line:
alias net-pf-10 off
to
/etc/modules.conf
Some package I installed (apparently) was compiled for ipv6, but the kernal wasn't, and so I need that line. What do I care. It works now.
The other problem was that I couldn't connect over the serial line, because MS ActiveSync starts up when I boot the PC, and ties up the serial port. The solution is to remove ASink -- it'll be a cold, cold day before I ever go back to wince.
