Debian / Unknown Hz Value!

« on: February 20, 2008, 09:37:55 pm »

In the kernel configuration "CONFIG_HZ" was prolly not set at the time of the kernel compilation. Should be set to 100

Hardware Mods / Drive Permissions

or... if you are building from an DSL CD or installed a version of DSL... the root partition (maybe hda1) is prolly readonly for a reason.

Hardware Mods / Drive Permissions

« on: February 20, 2008, 03:15:59 pm »

I am setting up a DSL rig.  I have sorted out most of the problems that I have been having (thx in part to the people on this forum).  My biggest issue right now is that I don't understand why my floppy drive (/dev/fd0) and my hard drive (/dev/hda1) are write protected, and my flash drive (/dev/sda1) is not.  They all have similar permissions as set through chmod, they all have the same file type (buffered/blocked), and the owners for all of them and the groups for all of them are the same.

What I am trying to do is use the floppy as my removeable media.  How can I change its write protected status?

Thx in advance

What is on the drive? (/hda1) is it an NTFS partition? if so... I know in the earlier verisons of DSL it wouldnt mount NTFS partitions due to possible corruption.
But this was about 1yr 1/2 ago and the NTFS drivers have greatly enhanced...

Now if it is a linux partition... do a "mount" and  see if it is set at RO from being mounted... in /etc/fstab... from there you can just mount it again rw with -o rw

C1000/3x00 Hardware / Swapping Batteries Causes Reboot?

« on: February 16, 2008, 03:39:06 pm »

Hi all,

I was trying out my new battery and found that my c1000 would reboot when I swap the battery.  Is that normal?
Shouldn't it maintain state between battery swaps?

eg I suspend the unit, swap battery, power on, it resumes.

Now I suspend the unit, swap battery, power on, it does a cold boot.

Is this normal or is there an internal battery that needs replacement?

It is normal... Our Z's do not have a internal battery to retain any data... that same thing would happen on any laptop.... unless it was plugged in prior to removal and on insert as deluxe noted.

Started back working on pdaXrom 3 days ago... the planned move didnt go a well as planned but it could still happen... but I'm going to continue chugging away at it...
I agree, just as much as everyone else, that all the devs need to get together and get on the same page (including myself) to keep this distro running strong.... please feel free to PM me with anything questions you may have

Sorry for the delay uneventful delay...

Sorry, to keep you guys on a branch waiting for the big news... I just want to make sure everything is 100% before making an announcement. The reason I made this announcement is because I didnt want January 1st to come around and then I say that nothing has been done for the past month... Just keeping the community in the loop.

If this goes the way we want... it will be a VERY good thing...

Thanks for your patience

All,

PdaXrom 2.0 developement will be on hold until further notice. pdaXrom is working on taking an alternate path of development for the future. We will keep everyone up-to-date with any progress that is made once everything becomes official.

Thanks

Meanie started making his hotfixes compatiable with r197/198 after there releases so they do not have the hotfixes. Thinking about it... that is a good ideas to add to pdaXrom.org I will get a hold of the data and upload it and make it available ASAP.

Actually ZDevil, Meanie has incorporated his patches already... they have been incorporated for MONTHS now... and they were incorporated by himself! He has the power to do so... All the devs have the power to due so... Each and every dev has to power to do everything I can do.... We have a LARGE roster of devs, but most devs are pretty busy... But a lot of it is people waiting on me to finsh up with kernel work (sorry I'm a perfectionist) but that fact that I dont have a lot of time... I cant just sit down and stare at code for hours.

So... this isnt me being the "Holder of the Code" it is everyone just being busy with life... just like I am

I haven't responded in this because I was getting into all the comments posted and I'm worried that they would stop once I post... Now... I will say pdaXrom is not dead... I've just been VERY busy... very very busy... and it has been pushed to the back burner... but it isnt dead... :-)
