Title: What's The News In The Openzaurus World?
Post by: LukeLuke on June 09, 2006, 03:50:38 am: Excuse me for this question, but was a lot of time that i don' t see this forum and i don't know wich updates are now.

My Zaurus is an SL-5500 with OZ 3.5.3 and kernel 2.4.x (ROM Henteges).

The OZ 3.5.4 is released, but what' s the update ? The kernel is new also fo my 5500 ? There's an Henteges ROM with OZ 3.5.4 and kernel 2.6.x ?

THANKS A LOT.

Bye

Which is ironic since even Poodle (our black sheep) is almost ready for 2.6

Well, I've seen the horrors of Poodle and with that in mind Collie doesn't look soo bad

Post by: vputz on June 13, 2006, 12:10:29 pm: And by the way, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the OZ folks again for a lot of really thankless work on a really difficult project and yet still turning out great stuff. That OZ even works somewhat is amazing; that it's as good as it is is really pretty phenomenal.

Don't get me wrong, I'm hungering after a final 3.5.4 release for Akita as well, but I know how burned-out many of you must be feeling--we really do appreciate it!

Post by: LukeLuke on June 15, 2006, 03:21:41 am: ok, i understand.

Do you know when the kernel 2.6 for the SL-5500 was ready ?

THANKS

We think that i'd must update my OZ, also without the new kernel ?

Post by: miskinis on June 17, 2006, 05:16:03 pm: Yes, I extend my thanks also. I've been OS hopping for the last few days on
my 5500, and just installed OZ 3.5.4 to give it a try. I am using the GPE version,
and it has been very stable so far. John

Post by: LukeLuke on June 19, 2006, 04:47:10 am: THANKS A LOT FOR THE SUPPORT!

I want install the new OZ, but i want install it like an Henteges Roms, so i have more RAM.

I have an SD in EXT2, which package i must take ?

http://ewi546.ewi.utwente.nl/mirror/www.op.../images/collie/ (http://ewi546.ewi.utwente.nl/mirror/www.openzaurus.org/official/unstable/3.5.4/images/collie/)

bootstrap-image-3.5.4-collie.initrd.bin
opie-image-3.5.4-collie.initrd.bin
zImage-64-0

Where i must put these file ? Wich i put in SD? Wich in the CF ?

There isn't a guide for the various kind of the installation ?

In the mirror, i see that there is a directory ext2:
[ ] bootstrap-image-3.5.4-collie.rootfs.ext2 14-Mar-2006 17:35 64M
[ ] bootstrap-image-3.5.4-collie.rootfs.ext2.md5 18-Mar-2006 15:49 87
[ ] gpe-image-3.5.4-collie.rootfs.ext2 14-Mar-2006 17:36 64M
[ ] gpe-image-3.5.4-collie.rootfs.ext2.md5 18-Mar-2006 15:49 81
[ ] opie-image-3.5.4-collie.rootfs.ext2 14-Mar-2006 17:36 64M
[ ] opie-image-3.5.4-collie.rootfs.ext2.md5

I must use it? How ?

THANKS AND EXCUSE ME.

Post by: Snappy on June 21, 2006, 10:51:04 am: AFAIK,

Rename as
opie-image-3.5.4-collie.initrd.bin -> initrd.bin
zImage-64-0 -> zImage

the ext2 files are for looping and booting off sd or CF. If you are installing into flash, you only need initrd.bin and zImage.

Of cos for Hentges rom, there is the cardfs files which you will need (do not rename the cardfs files) for installing the baseline of apps which is really useful.

I'm trying to get to the site but the link seem to be down ...
