Title: Does My 6000 Have Too Much Ram?
Post by: jebaker on May 04, 2005, 02:05:57 pm
I recently aquired a 6000 from work to replace my 5600. All of the specs I have seen online say I should have 64 MB of ram and 64 MB of flash. When I go into System Info, it reports 62048 KB of ram and 95232 KB of flash. If i run 'df -h' in a terminal, I see:

  /dev/root           28.0M
  /dev/mtdblock3  93.0M

This is a pre-release 6000 that has a big "This device has not been apporved by the FCC" sticker on the back.

So do I have a 6000 with some extra flash?

Hello

Please do the following :
 - a nandbackup
 - then reboot and do dmesg > file

Please put both files somewhere. I'd be curious to look at both files.

Ok, here they are:
NAND backup (http://www.jeffandstacey.com/zaurus/syst0006.dbk.bz2)
dmesg (http://www.jeffandstacey.com/zaurus/dmesg.txt)

The NAND backup is about 70 meg bzipped...

Quite interesting. You've got in fact a 128 Mb one. Try df and mount to see how much space you've left, and cat /proc/mtd to get some more details on the memory configuration.

BTW - If you don't need that Zaurus I'd be interested in it :-)

That would be the mythical SL-6000D:

according to that table, the D shouldn't have any wifi or bluetooth built in.  Is this true?

To answer your original question, Yes you do have too much ram. Send yours to me, and I will send you a 6000 with the right amount of ram..

Cool, I knew someone here could help me "fix" it.  

It does have wireless, so maybe it is a 6000D with the wireless module installed.
Does this mean I can't install different ROMS on it, or should they be ok with the way the flash is partitioned?

Hello

Don't install any rom. You'll certainly have big problems. I'll try to work on a guylhem rom for a 128 Mb flash  6000 if I can get my such a beast. I couldn't find the samsung chip anwhere to purcase however :-(
