Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Can't Find Cardfs?

seandiggity,
flashing hentges for opie with cardfs is all written step-by-step here

nothing is left out
and if you discover anything was, tell me about it and it will be fixed, or you can even fix it yourself

I think the problem may actually be with my SD card being 4GB.  I've read elsewhere that it may not be supported.  I will try with a smaller card when I get the chance, and see if the cardfs is recognized.

Thanks, all

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Can't Find Cardfs?

I'm new to OZ and OPIE, so maybe I'm missing something...

I followed the instructions for flashing OZ with OPIE and everything seems to work fine with that.  My only problem comes when I try to install the cardfs-$whatever.bin file.  I copy the file to both a CF card and an SD card, and OZ won't recognize either file at boot.

I tried this with both OZ 3.5.3 + OPIE 1.2.0 and OZ 3.5.4.1 + OPIE 1.2.1 with Hentges's appropriate cardfs files.

With OZ 3.5.4.1, I get a blue screen asking me if I want to search for cardfs and I type "ok".  In OZ 3.5.3, I don't get this screen and it also doesn't detect the cardfs files on either the SD card or the CF card.

Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?  An alternate method maybe of installing the software from the cardfs file?

I know that my Zaurus at least recognizes my CF card or otherwise I wouldn't have been able to flash it in the first place.

Thanks in advance!

The cfs has to be on the CF card with the the zImage and the initrd.bin. The SD card has to be formatted ext2 and, from my experience, empty. During the installation, the Hentges ROM will recognize the card after it asks you if you want to find it. It will ask you the destination of the cfs, which would be your SD card. I have installed the Hentges cfs about six times without a hitch using 3.5.4.1. My collie did not respond to 3.5.3 very well.

I followed your instructions (which were very similar to the ones on the Hentges website) and still the same results...
