Zaurus Kernel Replacement

There are several replacement kernels for the C3000 which enhance the stock kernel that ships with Sharp's ROM. You can even build your own if you want (and know how to). The kernel source is available on Sharp's developer website. However, there are some smart people who already build and tested their own enhanced kernels. One of those is Tetsu's special kernel which has been build for optimised speed and also includes iptables and bluetooth modules. It also makes the battery status more accurate and the latest version has video for linux enabled.

Warning: The kernel is an important part of the Linux OS. A bad kernel can corrupt your Zaurus, so don't play around with it unless you know what you are doing.

   * Download and place the files onto a CF or SD card.
   * Turn off your Zaurus and disconnect the power cable (and any other cables).
   * Unlock the battery compartment and take it out for about 5 seconds.
   * Put it back in and lock it again.
   * Plug your Zaurus into the AC power.
   * Hold the "OK" key on the keyboard or the back of the Zaurus and turn on the device with the "On/Off" button.
   * You should see the maintenance menu and select option 4 to update/flash the ROM.
   * Select either 1. CF or 2. SD depending on where your update files are.
   * Confirm to proceed with the update by selecting Y.
   * Turn off your Zaurus and turn it back on.
   * Install the kernel module ipk file (unless you have already installed iptables or bluez).
