Title: Installing Oz
Post by: nfoman on September 11, 2005, 12:31:10 am

Ive read many of the docs on installing OZ on SL5500 and having no luck. I have the files on the CF card, formatted to FAT 16. When I hold down C+D and reset, and release, the two lights blink.. orange and green. Is there a certain time limit that I should be holding them down for or is it just press and release?

Thank you.

It's just press & release, your blinking lights mean that something's wrong.

Check:

1. Names (zImage & initrd.bin)
2. md5sums of the two files
3. format of the CF card (if the above don't work, then try removing the partition & re-create & re-format it)
4. Some cards just don't seem to work, I've no idea why.
