I have one of these machines, and it runs with a 2.4.22 kernel built using the instructions gathered on http://www.solinno.co.uk/7043-140/ It seems that this machine is quite problematic. I tried to compile my own kernel with a stock 2.6.16.19, and after that 2.6.7 patched with the files I found for the 2.6.7 (at http://www.solinno.co.uk/7043-140/files/2.6.7/), but the system refuses to boot with those twoo kernels (the machine reboots or freezes before writing any piece of information on the console...). The site seems not to move anymore, and I'd like to have a 2.6 kernel running because of his better performances ans extended functionalities, and I'd like not to be stalled on 2.4.22 kernel... I crawled the web hours and hours (Google is my friend, but it didn't help me...) and I didn't find anything... Could someone help me ! Thanks a lot !
