Title: freeze and login failure
Post by: brickmaker on February 19, 2004, 03:33:02 am
Hi, I\'m still a new Zaurus sl-5500user but I really love it.

I\'m having a problem with the screen freezing.  It happens sometimes after I turn it on (after suspending). It locks up.

I try a soft reset, flipping the battery switch from normal to replace and back again. I wait, then I turn it on. All I get is the OpenZaurus logo and a cute picture of opie...and...

(none) login:

When I enter root I get:

login: cannot run /bin/sh: No such file or directory

Of course I could hard reset, or flash... But I\'m just getting tired of that.

Is my hardware starting to fail? I recently had an issue with getting power to it.
Any insight would be appriciated. I couldn\'t find anything like it in the searches.
