pdaXrom for C1000/3100/3200 and x86
I have to choose between
- an old version of pdaXrom not stable and not supported (problem with power management and no bug fixes)
- a new version of OZ without Video Acceleration (but in progress ).
I understood that it is too difficult for pdaXrom Team to support C3000. (but OZ has develop a unique version for all models with microdrive).
Zaurus Team are so stupid to make 2 distrib ... with differents problems.
good-bye pdaXrom.

Maybe im reading this and other posts in the last week or so but i just dont understand the anger. EVERYONE in the forums (I think) is working for free. We are talking donated time here people.
anger != better disto for zaurus

2 distrib for Zaurus is stupid !
there are more than 2 distribs, you forgot sharp distribution for instance.
(there is also openbsd for 3000)
2, 3 ,4 >> 0
I can understand your frustration, but you can't force people to do what they don't want to do by shouting at them, so anger is probably not so far from silence as to what it achieves.

bah! they all have thier problems and good points(distro's that is), sure it would be great to get pdaxrom and oz team set to one goal. But you forget innovations usually spring from a good competitive spirit, I have seen it before in the past and wil see it in the future no doubt. So instead of being angry about what is not happening, you should be happy about what has happened. I say kudo's to all the dev's who donate thier time for basically free, thanks guys!

Dear sashz,
is it possible to post the root files for 1.1.0 beta 3 ?
and also the updater.sh for 1.1.0beta2 ?

Dear flavien,
actually the SLC3000 is fairly stable with pdaxrom.
All you have to remember is :
DON'T push power button to suspend. Instead, exit X
windows, then type
apm -s.

Guys I using pdaXrom beta 3 on my SL-C3100 ... this is the best distro for Zaurus...
I use power button to suspend and this works fine for me... but when I need turn ON again, I must press ONE TIME ONLY AND WAIT 3 or 5 seconds, IF YOU PRESS AGAIN OR HOLDED FOR LONG TIME (more then 2 seconds) THIS DONT BACK!
Yeah... pdaXrom stupid? look in OE Forums posts, OZ (All forums) + SHARP posts have a bit more then us! this is all we need to know! WE ARE THE BEST!

You are a lucky man ... this post is about SL-C3000 , you don't understand ?

Dear flavien,
It is actually possible to use 1.1.0beta3 with SL3000.
Just extract the root files from initrd.bin, then copy it to hdd4.
Using the multiboot script mentioned earlier in the post and
you can boot it.
BR,
Felix.

Sorry, I'm highjacking this thread. I don't think anyone's gonna care.
I'd like to refer to Felix's posting above:

As a 3100 user, I was wondering if suspending like this get rid of the power drain issue some of us users are experiencing? Or is the problem totally different, like HDDs not spinning down?
I would like to find a solution to this problem. I want to start using Pdaxrom!
My offer still stands: Fix the power issues with with the 3100 series, so I can use Pdaxrom daily with confidence, and I'll donate $50 to the pot. I know it's not a lot, but I'm not rich. I hope it encourages other people to do the same in supporting what they like.
Is that the kind of incentive you were looking for?

C3100, beta3, IceWM: have been using it shortly after beta3 was released (ie more than 2 weeks now). So far haven't encountered any lockups when resuming from suspend. I use both menu, and On/Off button to suspend and no problems there.
Using beta1 and Matchbox/Openbox I could've expected lockup on resume about once a week.
YMMV
Update 2006-06-01
Actually about 3 weeks after installing beta3, it did lockup and I had to do a reboot. But overall still much better than previous betas, not sure whether it is due to me using icewm instead of matchbox.
