5 Support for the original Psion 5 - ID: 1492003

Last Update: Comment added ( nobody )

Details:

As psion didn't released ER5 for the original Psion, I
want to try linux now.

But it seems that the original Psion isn't supported
anymore by openpsion, too :-(
I tried the kernel for the 5mx, but it did nothig
(probably becuse of the changes memory layout)
I would love to help you porting openpsion to the
series5 (8MB), but I don't know too much about the
internals fro the psion :-(

The problem for me was actually finding the files (well, an initrd and kernel image). If you install ARLO (the one on the downloads page for 5MX / netbook) on your S5 you'll be able to boot Linux using ramdisk image http://linux-7110.sourceforge.net/files/People/Klaasjan/initrds/initrds3.gz and kernel http://linux-7110.sourceforge.net/files/People/Klaasjan/kernelbinaries/glued-image-2.2.1-cb26-psionS5-boot15.gz. You need to uncompress the kernel, but not the ramdisk. Read the 5MX README page, too, as it has lots of useful info. Best of luck JonB
