Title: Flashing Troubles
Post by: DaMightyWhightyMan on September 30, 2004, 11:52:17 pm

I'm not a moron, but for some reason the oz rom isn't flashing

I own a Z SL-5500 and I'm trying to flash the gre version

I downloaded

http://www.openzaurus.org/official/unstabl...gpe-image.jffs2 (http://www.openzaurus.org/official/unstabl...gpe-image.jffs2)

and

http://www.openzaurus.org/official/unstabl...00/zImage-32-32 (http://www.openzaurus.org/official/unstabl...00/zImage-32-32)

renamed gpe-image.jffs2 to initrd.bin and zImage-32-32 to zImage

copied them to a vfat 16 meg CF card, slid it into the Z.. switch it to replace battery, pressed C then D then pushed the full reset button. The mail light and the power light come on, but only for a second and go back off. On the open zaurus site it says this indicates files not being found. I checked, and zImage and initrd.bin are both on the cf card, in the room directory.

I've tried this on multiple CF cards, no luck.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Reformating as Fat 16 20 times eventually helped things...
