I just tried to flash OpenZaurus 3.5.1 to my SL-C760. I dowloaded the following files:
opie-image.rootfs.img
updater.sh
zImage.bin.forHusky
from http://www.openzaurus.org/official/unstable/3.5.1/c7x0,c8x0/ (http://www.openzaurus.org/official/unstable/3.5.1/c7x0,c8x0/) and also checked for their MD5 sums to be OK. I copied them to my CF card, with renaming them in the following manner:
opie-image.rootfs.img -> initrd.bin
updater.sh -> updater.sh
zImage.bin.forHusky -> zImage
and then go for the reflash procedure. All seems to go well, and the Zaurus reboots. but, when booting, there are a lot of error messages, like:
Inode #XXX was a directory with children - removing those too..
and
Cannot remove child "pan.png" ino #XXX because it doesn't exist
and after a while, I get the following message:
Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel
and the whole thing hangs.
now, what am I doing wrong? I tried to use the bootstrap-image.rootfs.img file instead of the opie-image.rootfs.img. Also tried to rename zImage to zImage.bin, but to no avail...

zImage.bin.forHusky -> zImage
Should be:
zImage.bin.forHusky -> zImage.bin
What did you have on it beforehand?

as you can see in the last line of my original post, I did try zImage.bin as well, with the same result..
I had Cacko ROM 1.21 on it before (and also now, afterwards, as I could not make OpenZaurus work)

OpenZaurus only works with the default partitioning. If you used Cacko to repartition your flash, OZ won't work.

and what is the default partitioning?
-
No idea. Never changed mine. An educated guess would be 32/32 on the C750 and 64/64 on the C760 and C860.

Am getting a similar situation on a C760 - only mine is an output of the busybox usage screen (which doesn't list 'init' as one of the commands busybox implements..?) and then a kernel panic: attempting to kill init.
To make sure there weren't any weird partitioning problems I did a full NAND flash restore to its factory (fully Japanese - much fun) configuration.
The OZ installation still won't get out of the gate. Went through it twice to make sure that I hadn't messed anything up.
I installed the basic bootstrap - just to see if any of them would boot on the 760 - and it booted and runs happily. Seems the 760 opie image is hosed?

I had problems as well when I tried 3.5.1 a while ago.
I've just done it again, but first I flashed the original Japanese ROM. This seemed to reset partitions and anything else and OZ flashed perfectly without any problems.
