HTC-Dream is a android based phone. Android is running on top of a Linux kernel. So we have basically no work to do using this kernel to boot an Openmoko user space. This work is done. I booted an Openmoko user space. The way to do it on your own is described below. For questions ask leviathan and GNUtoo in irc://irc.freenode.net/#htc-linux

If leviathan doesn't answer, he might be smoking ATM or be working elsewhere. In this case, try to contact him on jabber, or leave him an offline message: leviathan@xmpp.ccczh.ch

If links are down, just try the overlay'n directory. The site is outdated very fast!

Introduction

HTC-Dream is a android based handy. Android is running on top of a linux kernel. So we have basically no work to to then using this kernel to boot an OpenMoko userspace. This work is done. I bootet an OpenMoko userspace. The way to do it your own is described next.

Bootloader

You need to install fastboot. In order to do this, you will have need to root the existing android or have already a developer version installed.

Building new kernel

Use 2.6.29 from android.git.kernel.org 2.6.27 rebootet after some minutes without reason. 

git clone git://android.git.kernel.org/kernel/msm.git
wget http://wiki.openmoko.org/images/3/3b/Openmoko-htc-dream-kernel-config.txt
cp Openmoko-htc-dream-kernel-config.txt msm/.config
cd msm
make CROSS_COMPILE=/usr/local/openmoko/arm/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/bin/ ARCH=arm

Building boot.img 

mkbootimg --cmdline "console=tty0 no_console_suspend=1 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootdelay=2 fbcon=rotate:1" \
--kernel /home/leviathan/android-msm-2.6.29/msm/arch/arm/boot/zImage \
--ramdisk /home/leviathan/Downloads/split_bootimg/newramdisk.cpio.gz -o openmoko-boot.img
