I picked up a nice SIMpad SL4 at a garage sale and was happy to see a Linux distribution for it. I successfully upgraded the bootloader to 2.5.3 and then to the hh.org version. I then tried to load the root distribution (Angstrom-x11-image-glibc-ipk-2007.12-r14-simpad.rootfs.jffs2) but am getting errors trying to run it.
I used the Cutecom graphical terminal program rather Minicom. It worked fine for uploading the bootloaders. After typing load root, I clicked on the "Send File" button and specified the image. The Cutecom window seemed to lock up (no display), but I could hear the computer's hard drive accessing and eventually the window came back and the prompt returned. It seems to load OK, but eventually starts showing some errors: vfat_find_file_entry: fname='/simpad-rootfs.jffs2' dirname='' basename='SIMPAD-ROOTFS.JFFS2' Could not find file.vfat_file_open: file not found errno=00000016 Could not open source hda1:/simpad-rootfs.jffs2 partition <throwaway_bootldr_partition> deleted RXSTAT error: 000000FF booting jffs2... booting boot/zImage from partition >root< find_inode failed for name=zImage Failed to find inode loaded file of size = 0x00000000 at location 0xC0008000 kernel partition base C0008000 kernel_magic=20746573 kernel_region_words[9]=6F6C6264 Unrecognized kernel image boot command failed, entering monitor boot> If anyone can tell me where I went wrong and where to go from here, I would appreciate it. I have been running Linux on several computers for years and I understand the basics but am not a programmer. Thanks in advance. Rod |
