Titchy On All Clamshell-models

[Chero]

chero, could you post you fstab?

here you go

Can you please attach a copy of the 070703 image? Trying to install on my C700.

Here are the kernel installer and the kernel modules:

[SOLVED: see post #53]

@Chero:

How do you set up Spectrum 24 card (using the symbol sp24 firmware)? It goes undetected in my setup. It finds Ambicom (using orinoco_cs), but fails to bind the driver.

Do you have orinoco_cs kernel module? It is missing in /lib/modules/2.6.21 on my 860, although orinoco.ko is there.

Can you set hardware system clock? I installed zaurus-hardware-support but when hwclock -w it reports:

RTC_RD_TIME: Invalid argument
ioctl() to /dev/rtc to read the time failed.

Thanks.

I'll try to answer these this evening (left my C1000 at home).
I guess I haven't tried the spectrum on the C1000 yet (not sure, I'm sure there's only one I've tried but I can't remember which one).

I'm having a similar problem as mentioned before.  After I tell altboot to run from "Boot SD card" I get this

[div class=\'codetop\']CODE[/div][div class=\'codemain\' style=\'height:200px;white-space:pre;overflow:auto\']Checking file system no /dev/mmblk0p1
/sbin/fsck.ext3: No such system on or address while trying to open /dev/mmblk0p1 Possibly non-existent of swap device?
Mounting /media/card...  Error /bin/mount -t auto -o defaults.noatime /devmmcblk0p1 /media/card failed[/div]

at which point I'm dropped back to a shell.  From the shell I cannot mount the sd card.  On reboot and from Angstrom, the card is mounted fine again.

@cal: Which machine are you using? If it is Cxx0 then make sure you can flash the 2.6.21 (not 2.6.22 -- check using "uname -a" or the 1st line in dmesg) kernel properly. I also reformatted the SD into ext2 and removed the /sbin/fsck.ext3 binary to force the system to boot from an ext2 partition. Also make corresponding changes in /etc/fstab on the SD debian root.

[cal]

Heh, thanks.  Stupid mistake.  uname -a pointed out that I still had a 2.6.22 kernel.  When I flashed Chero's Akita kernel above I must have forgot to rename it.    Lets see if it works now....

You can't just "rename" it. You have to flashed the right kernel (updater.sh + zImage.bin). Since the only image left in the Angstrom feeds now is the latest 2.6.22, perhaps Chero or others can upload the 2.6.21 kernel installer here.

That means:
First flash the latest Angstrom image (kernel 2.6.22).
Next copy the 2.6.21 kernel modules extracted from the older Angstrom images (no longer available in the Angstrom site) to /lib/modules
Finally "downgrade" the kernel by flashing the 2.6.21 one.

Hope that's clear enough.

[cal]

I mean I l forgot to rename the zImage and left the file zImage-akita.bin as is.  I re-flashed the kernel properly, and now I'm sitting at a Titchy prompt.  

Thanks everybody.  Especially Chero and zDevil

Are there any cautions we should take as "non standard" Titchy C1000 users?  Can I assume that most anything that works in the other Titchy threads will work?

Again, I can't thank you gurus, enough...

I think you can assume that everything will work, untill proven otherwise.    

I only have problems with suspend and resume on the C1000, but that happens with every rom so I guess that's hardware related. Otherwise I found no problems so far.

Have fun,
Chero.

[Chero]

So now we have these devices running Titchy :

C3xxx machines using the normal installer

Alternative ways :
2 C1000-s
1 C860

Anyone else ?

Where can I find apt sources that are appropriate here in the South East US?  Can I just change the ftp.jp.debian.org to ftp.us.debian.org?

And one last silly question...  where is startx ?

check here for mirrors (don't mind the package-name - I did a random search)    
http://packages.debian.org/lenny/accerciser/all/download

do
apt-get update
and
apt-get install titchy (for a full environment)
or
apt-get install titchy-desktop (for a basic desktop system)

then you can "startxfce4"  

(yesterday I had troubles installing "xdm", just add the -m option to apt-get to install everything except the missing xdm).

@Chero:
I think setting up Debian in C7x0 should be just the same as on C860, because they use the same Angstrom kernel and system.
