I installed Linux on my GP32 just a few minutes ago, but it still doesn't have SMC support, so you're stuck at the init. point. Has anyone succeeded in running Linux on the GP32 yet, or are there any attempts to get it working yet?
 
Ok, The basic problem, or should I say, mother of all problems, is just the fact that Linux can't read the SmartMedia card. This can be fixed in two ways. You implent the driver in the Kernel, or you load Linux in the RAM, let it load the SMC drivers, then let it load on the SMC. I don't know which is easier, I also don't know whether or not you need different drivers to do either. I also do not have the faintest idea where to get these drivers... (Can anyone give me some specs in the SMC reader in the GP32, for example, is it IDE? Or maybe SCSI?)
