I'm having a little trouble with Zubuntu on my Zaurus sl-c1000. I was hoping someone could spare me a little of their time to help me get it right.
I believe I have correctly made a 1Gig SD card with Zubuntu on it, following Omegamoon's instructions. I get the bootmenu showing Zubuntu but after selecting it I always end up with this line: Press enter for maintenance (or type Control-D to continue) I'm not sure how much of the previous text to include, here's a bit more: /dev/shm/root: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY. (i.e., without -a or -p options) fsck died with exit status 4 [fail] * An automatic file system check (fsck) of the root filesystem failed. A manual fsck must be performed, then the system restarted. The fsck should be performed in maintenance mode with the root filesystem mounted in read-only mode. * The root filesystem is currently mounted in read-only mode. A maintenance shell will now be started. After performing system maintenance, press CONTROL-D to terminate the maintenance shell and restart the system. Press enter for maintenance (or type Control-D to continue) If I press enter (for maintenance) then I get: bash: no job control in this shell bash: groups: command not found bash: lesspipe: command not found bash: dircolors: command not found root@Zubuntu:~# Has anyone any idea what might be going on here? |

The problem you're facing generally is caused by error(s) in the file system that need to be fixed. Since fsck isn't able to fix problems on a mounted partition, try to fix it using a card reader on a different (desktop) linux system. This should fix your problems most certainly.

Thanks very much. I'll try it out.
On a different note: is the Zaurus still limited to a standard 4Gig max. SD card? Or have recent kernel updates increased the size? |

I think 16Gb SDHC is reported to work. Just make sure you don't go for cheap, since cheap is synonym for slow!
Personally, I haven't crossed the 4Gb barrier... yet  |
