Can someone, preferably Alvin, test these rootfs that i've made to see if there is a performance difference.

This one should have a boost just from being cm7.2 with generic tweaks and is done as .img files for SD boot:

And this one is stripped down taking out the extra stuff not needed for a pda which frees up ram and cpu. This one is a rootfs that needs to be extracted to a partitioned sd card:

Sorry, tried it quickly, but I couldn't get this to work on my 214.
I'm using the standard SD boot method from the ipaq214android project with bldiag.nb0 mmcboot.img etc. and I tried
1) replacing my zimage in mmcboot.img (which I have done before to change LED settings in the kernel and worked with my own kernel): Stops at starting Kernel message.
2) replacing system.img only (and using my original mmcboot.img): System seems to start, but Screen stays blank. ATA LED (blue in my kernel) shows some I/O activity.
3) replacing both zimage and system.img: Same as 1)

Sorry I'm not familiar with the haret-w.exe method, so I didn't try.

Is the iPAQ214 headphone plug working for anyone, BTW? Mine keeps using the speaker.

  Yes, thankyou. You only needed to replace the system.img and see if that started. I think the init.rc should be fine as long as it mounts the system.img. But i can see why some way to debug is needed. i guess i'll wait until i get mines to work on some tweaked builds.

Sorry but I don't have the time to test it now. But by guessing, the kernel will not work. You'll also need to change the init.rc (since it is not AOSP but cm) in the initrd.

@ryahp At some point I made it detects the headphone but I am not sure whether I've got it included into the builds. Will need to check... Meanwhile you could... open a ticket.

  Thanks for the reply!
  
  Sorry I didn't check the tickets before. I think #19 "Detect wired headset with mic and/or key" may already cover this...
