Tested Images

Angstrom-console-image-test-20070401-h5000.rootfs.jffs2

This image boots fine. I get the login prompt and can type commands. It is missing kernel modules for wifi so I don't tried much.

Angstrom-minimalist-image-test-20070516-h5000.rootfs.jffs2

This image doesn't boot. It hangs with the following error

[    1.390000] VFS: Cannot open root device "mtdblock1" or unknown-block(31,1)
[    1.390000] Please append a correct "root=" boot option
[    1.400000] Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(31,1)
