That's only the usual message if linux can't execute /sbin/init.

I forgot to mention, mine is a non-cas clickpad and no, it's not working.
@Vogtinator if you need a tester feel free to ask.

//Oops; deleted the message above.
Just a question: did anyone ever succeeded in booting Linux on Clickpad?

Of course, it's been made on CX. I also saw it's been made on Touchpad (http://ourl.ca/17131/326297). But did anyone made it on a Clickpad?

My friend doesn't want to downgrade his OS to 3.1 :-(

Tell him how better OS 3.1 is for Clickpads, even without Ndless.

You get much more free space, fewer bugs, faster OS*, ect...
*3.1 isn't faster than others. 3.2 just happen to be much slower in some cases.

I've been trying a few configs again.

So, it seems to be "quite" ok with any recent zImage found on TI-Planet and the initrd from here:
http://ourl.ca/17131;msg=266194
He referred to it as ramdisk..

The only problem left being getting "can't open /dev/ttyAMA0: no such device of address" every second or so.
I could still manage to type a few commands, and they are working OK.

Could you try and find out where it tries to open /dev/ttyAMA0?

I'd do it, but have no idea how to do this.

Sys-Request should be enabled in expanded config.
Type SysRq + 0 to get rid of warnings.

SysRq is a key on your keyboard :-P (AltGr + Print normally)

Oh... well.
Problem is my Nspire isn't connected to my PC. Am I supposed to type this on the Nspire?
(if yes, what stands for AltGr?)

Yes, with an USB keyboard, if it works. I don't know whether USB even works on Clickpads..
AltGr is the key on the right side of space.

I know where to find AltGr on a "regular" keyboard :) (I thought it would maybe be mapped on some strange key on the nspire keyboard like pi or ...).
Unfortunately, I don't have any USB keyboard with me.

I don't think it's mapped to any key at all :-/

Is it possible that some sticks have a buggy firmware and create lots of "XactErr" errors?
And sometimes it says the port is reset by eheci-platform....

I first thought, this would be a connection problem of my selfmade USB power-thing, but with another stick it works well.

Try it on your PC

I have an USB Mouse which resets it five times a seconds (but works..). Other mice work fine.
