OpenZaurus, OZ on the 6000 Options

[systemparadox]

Hi, new 6kL owner!
I liked OZ 3.5.2 Opie very much on my 5500 (well, I definately would have preffered X, but that's another thread, I am stuck with Opie for now- the opie pim apps are brilliant). I have tried flashing it using the instructions on the OZ site (using files: bootstrap.data, updater.sh and gpe.data/opie.data renamed to updater.data), but it doesn't seem to work. I go to maintenance menu, select update, select cf (and i've tried sd too), say yes, then it reboots, with the sharp screen, then init, then it can't find a usb module, then something about no such file or directory (i think because /proc is not mounted), then screen clears and "--CF Updater--" (or something similar) appears, then endlessly scrolling messages saying no such file or dir: /tmp/test168 (the number may be different- it has been test1[something]7 and test[something]8 so far, usually test[something]8).

But before I spend much time or effort, are either of the OZ versions worth flashing?
I guess I would like to have a look for myself anyway.
What about building a custom ROM? Or is that too hard to get 6000 support with?

Thanks
Simon

I think OZ wants an ext2 cf. is yours fat16 maybe?

3.5.2 is a little rough. 3.5.3 is coming. .5.2 is definitley worth a look though.

There has been talk of a custom rom on the 6000 gerneral forum

pdaXrom now has a 6k and is gearing up to do a port... they are apparently in need of donations too.


i have become something of a "flash addict" since I bought my 6k

Tried ext2 sd, fat16 sd, ext2 cf, fat16 cf, ext2 sd in cf adapter, none worked, same error every time.

Had it doing that last night. Redownloading everything worked. Something got corrupted.
