I do wonder are those Zaurus models also boot kernels which QEMU boots. 
Would love to see someone still using those old palmtops. I put my

They were working in 2008. I was running Maemo and Poky Linux then. 
Never tried later.

Can you share kernel/initrd/config? I wanted to boot something at 20th 
anniversary of buying one but was unable to build anything bootable on 
either QEMU/collie or physical one.
