Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Altboot Problem?

« on: July 11, 2006, 11:04:51 am »

Hi,
SO I was playing with getting altboot to work - I wanted to do a direct install of 3.5.4 onto my SD card on my Collie.

This is what I did:

I am using a CF and an SD card that have been working without problems in the past on this collie. The SD card is formatted FAT16 (since I only have a Win box here at work)


 - Since I wanted to have as little in the internal memory as possible, I decided to do this in conjuction with a fresh install, so I d/l the initrd.bin, zImage, and the opie-image-3.5.4-collie.rootfs.tar.gz files from the mirrors, and placed them (and only them) on my CF card.
 - Flashed the ROM (C+D).
 - On the first re-boot after flashing (and before I have ever booted into the newly flashed system), I bring up altboot, and select install from rootfs.tar.gz
 - I get no errors
 - It shows that it will use the rootfs.tar.gz from the CF card (correctly)
 - I tell it to install to my SD card
 - I tell it Direct Install
 - I tell it to Remove old Drectories
 - It starts "Installing rootfs"

Once that finishes, It asks me to click enter to start the altboot menu.

 - I click enter and bring up the alt-boot menu
 - I select [3] boot off SD card

I then get the following errors:

Mounting rootfs rw...ok
Note: /proc is already mounted
Generating device files...OK
Loading SD kernel module...ok
Mounting /media/card...ok

Note: No boot-images found in [/media/card/boot-images]

Thoughts?Advice?

Software / Ical Formatted Calendars

« on: July 07, 2006, 08:03:21 am »

I installed Kopi yesterday and it appears to be able to import and export .ics files (i haven't tried it though).
Let me know how you get on, as I'd like to be able to "sync" (either automatically or manually) with my phpiCalendar on my webspace.
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=134211\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Hmm - I need to look at Ko/PI again - I thought I saw that it wasn't really the gest thing to try and run on a Collie, due to the speed available.

Thx Guys :-)

Software / Ical Formatted Calendars

Hi,
I've got a 5500 using the OZ 3.5.4 ROM.
Is there any calendar program that will read in an *.ics file?
I have my family calendar which is shared via webdav, and would like to get that same calendar into the Z... even if it's read only, I'll take it :-)
