Post by: conchisv on June 09, 2005, 11:56:38 am

This means the kernel hasn't flashed at least.

First of all which machine are you talking about?

Secondly, I'm not sure that micro-drives are supported, try a plain CF card.

Thridly, are you sure the files are named correctly and the md5sums are correct?

ok i got it fixed! microdrive is supported, the exact problem is that when i download the zImage file it automatically rename it to .bin file and caused these problems.

Anyway, thanks a lot.

am installing all these software in there, what software is good in opie?? i am in the process of finding a nice browser and a VNC server and viewer.

got any suggestion ?
