I found out that the os.img was not complete..
It did not mount hda, and did not execute pivot_root.
After mounting by hand, there was a strange username/pw issue, that prevents X from starting:
X: /tmp/.X11-unix has suspicious ownership (not root:root), aborting.
giving up.

I have to find out how to set a rootpw that sticks during the transfer to the rootsys on hda2.. ;) :p ???

The login problem was due to the fact that root did not own all files.
chown -R root.root * cleared that.
So i was able to login, and saw a debian gui-windowmaker-desktop,
I am not able to login, without manualy mounting:

mount /dev/hda2 /mnt/disk
cd /mnt/disk
/sbin/pivot_root . old
exec /usr/sbin/chroot . /sbin/init <dev/console >dev/console

I spoke Brian Dushaw, who wrote all howto's, and assembled and uploaded 'the parts', who told me that he uses an EEE pc now...
with ubuntu on it.

I would like to get the job finished: A Linux-OS, that works 'out of the box', on all the psion 7/netBooks, and that is upgradeble...

Might take some time though... np..;)
