Hello,
    I have been using the various distros of linux on my ipaq 3670 for some time now.  I have  used cf cards for most of the installs with no problems untill recently.  I currently have just the boot strap installed, so my ipaq isn't very usefull, as I can no longer find my serial cable (I have ordered a new one, though).  Since I have been unable to do anything with the unit, I decided to flash the latest version of opie, but the cf reflash tool gives me this error: "Can't read control file".  I have downloaded the most recent version, now of all three (bootstrap, GPE, and opie) to no avail.  I have tried looking on the site for any additional information, but have had no luck. ; It was recomended to me that I attempt an install over the serial cable, which I will do when I receive the new one.  I am hoping though, that perhaps someone else has had this problem, or atleast knows of it, and might be able to help me out.

Things I have tried (but that didn't work):
  - new cf card
 ; - different distros
  - old download of distro (worked previously, when first downloaded)

If there is some tip or pointer that anyone can give me, I will greatly appreciate it.
