Title: Problems With 3.5.3 On Sl-c1000
Post by: obergix on May 17, 2005, 02:28:27 am

Hi.

I tried to install OZ 3.5.3 on a fresh restored Sharp setup on my SL-C1000, using a 512 M CF.

It reboots with OZ (all messages on the console) but at some time it displays :
...
cramfs: wrong magic
FAT: bogus logical sector size 480
...

Then after a while INIT, etc.

It then displays the CG color screen with the dog, and so on until Qte is displayed just as it was before the flash...

I would expect the result to be Opie, and not the old GUI.... or am I wrong ?

Also, the CF card can no longer be mounted by the zaurus... the CF icon appears but nothing is mounted

I suspect there is a problem and OPIE is not started, but instead the old system, because it cannot mount my CF during the boot....

Should the CF be formatted in a special way ? ... is the kernel missing some patch ? (looks like 2.4.20-3.5.3-snapshot-20050427).

Many thanks in advance.

Yes, read the installtion instructions (it has to be fat16 - type 6).

What did the updater tell you as it was (trying to) flash?

Euh... couldn't find such a thing in the installation instructions at : [a href=\"http://openzaurus.org/wordpress/installation/sl-c1000/]http://openzaurus.org/wordpress/installation/sl-c1000/[/url]

Where is the document you are referring to ?

Anyway, that's not the problem I think, since the partition indeed is FAT 16 (type 6) on my CF... and the updater reports success for the flash...

Any guess ?

Thanks for your help anyway

Also, I should say during the boot, and immediately before the cramfs wrong magic, it displays :

RAMDISK: Couldn't find valid RAM disk image starting at 0.
Freeing initrd memory: 4096K

In any case...

I tried again to flash, and this time also wrote down the only error message displayed by the installer :
touch /home/sharp/etc/etc_reset : no such file or directory

Also, at first boot, the following is displayed :

Code: [Select]

RAMDISK: Couldn't find valid RAM disk image starting at 0.
Invalid compressed format (err=2) <4>Freeing initrd memory: 4096K
cramfs: wrong magic
FAT: bogus logical sector size 480
I suspect there is something wrong with the initrd.bin

And indeed there was : the file was named initrd.img instead of initrd.bin (

Such a dumb guy I am.

OK, this seems to have been the problem : the RO filesystem flash sequence is done now.

Sorry for bothering.

Now I see the Welcome to Opie !

Thanks for all.
