Does anyone have tried to install a dual boot with Linux and GPE?

Yeah, I can get it to work. But there is no phone support!and i had a major problem getting in contact with the device (had 2 have a friend of mine do it) using USB. (normally I’d use serial of compact flash for file transfers etc. when using Linux on a PPC device)
Other then that there is not much fun having an i-mate Jam phone with no phone, so i switched back.

Does the Himalaya kernel really boots on an Magician?

I will make a try....

BTW porting the linux kernel didn't seems to be an hard work (but i'm not a kernel developper), because the Magician architecture is not so far from Himalaya one, and the PXA272 is allready supported by linux (see linux2.6 sources)

The realy big problem is to control all hardware devices, from USB to touchpad and most important and hard : the Phone.

Hope there is as little differences as possible between HTC hardwares.
