no way. I cannot get Angstrom working
please tell me exactly which files, there are a lot of releases for 860, with a lot of alternatives for every release.

Well I just followed most of svs57's instructions from earlier in this thread. However, my method doesn't require uboot, but only requires the Debian filesystem, the Angstrom filesystem, and an Angstrom kernel compiled to boot off SD card, and associated kernel modules. These notes are for an SL-C860, so the details may be slightly different for other machines. It requires the Angstrom flashing method, so if you have installed u-boot, you need to restore a non-pdaXrom flash image to get back the original power-on-OK-button-held menu.
1. Download the Debian root filesystem, [a href=\"http://armel.applieddata.net/developers/linux/eabi/armel-root-fs.tar.bz2]http://armel.applieddata.net/developers/li...root-fs.tar.bz2[/url] , and extract to a ext2 or ext3-formatted SD card. I think the root filesystem directories are stored in a subdirectory, so move all these to the root.
2. Download the Angstrom kernel which boots off SD card and the kernel modules from
http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/unsta.../c7x0/20070429/: files zImage-2.6.20-c7x0-sdboot.bin and modules-2.6.20.6-c7x0.tgz. Extract modules-2.6.20.6-c7x0.tgz to the /lib/modules/2.6.20.6 directory on the SD card. It's also useful to keep a copy of zImage-2.6.20-c7x0-flashboot.bin which you can use to boot the Angstrom filesystem stored in flash memory, to aid in setting up Debian.
3. Download the Angstrom filesystem and updater script from
http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/unsta.../c7x0/20070422/: files x11-image-c7x0.jffs2 and updater.sh.c7x0.
4. Copy zImage-2.6.20-c7x0-sdboot.bin, x11-image-c7x0.jffs2 and updater.sh.c7x0 to a FAT-formatted CF card (it might also work on an SD-card). Rename to zImage.bin, initrd.bin, updater.sh.
5. Remove power and battery, insert battery and reapply power while holding the OK button. Select the CF card (option 4), then option 2, and allow to flash.
6. Upon removing the power and reapplying it, the Debian filesystem on SD card should boot up. Note that I found I had to have a CF card inserted in order for the SD card to be detected by the kernel.
7. Read some earlier threads for notes on how to get the '/' key to work, how to get X to work, and how to fix some other issues. Until these are fixed, you may want to flash the kernel which boots the Angstrom filesystem from flash, and copy the necessary files to SD card. To do this, put zImage-2.6.20-c7x0-flashboot.bin and updater.sh.c7x0 on the CF card, but not the .jffs2 file; rename, and flash.
