Nokia Tablet / Nokia N770 Alternate Os's

« on: November 11, 2007, 07:59:55 pm »

Angstrom, or any other rom, is probably not going to happen since the 770, N800, and upcoming N810 all have closed wifi drivers. Imagine an internet tablet that cannot connect to the internet! However, KDE is able to be installed on top of the preexisting rom.

Debian / Titchy On Internal 16gb Cf Microdrive Replacement (3200)

« on: October 23, 2007, 11:19:13 pm »

OK, has anybody ever sucessfully installed Titchy linux on an internal CF card instead of the standard Hitachi microdrive? I have searched the forums and the problem seems to be that the Hitachi 6gb (on a 3200) microdrive manfid is coded into the kernel. Apparently no other card, except the very expensive Sandisk Extreme III 16gb as some report, will work because the manfid is different. Someone suggested recompiling the kernel with a different manfid but I cannot program in C and do not know how to compile/recompile a kernel. Even if i did know how to do those two things, I would have to know where in the code the manfid is and how to change it without disrupting anything else.

So, does anybody know another way how to easily accomplish this? If not, if somebody who knows how to recompile the Titchy linux kernel with different manfid's can compile a kernel with support for commonly used 16gb cards (Transcend, A-data, etc.) that would be great. Why is it necessary for specific manfid's to be in the kernel anyway? Thanks.

C1000/3x00 Hardware / Harddrive On 3200

« on: October 04, 2007, 05:49:57 pm »

I had the same problem, for a different reason though. The problem is that you hard drive partitioning is different from the original Z's configuration. Just a system alert, and does not actually prevent starting the Z.

for Zaurus C3200
Solution 1 - Once you see the hdd1 error you can simply press Ctrl+C+D and the Z will start. Easy right? If you plan to keep using a Sharp based rom I would suggest using solution 2 because it can be annoying to have to press Ctrl+C+D everytime you boot up. Using Angstrom or pdaXrom rom will also stop this because the Z will not complain about partition tables on startup.

Solution 2 - Download the file http://www.trisoft.de/download/SLC3200SYSPART.zip. This file contains instructions and the files needed in order to manually partition the 6GB hard drive and restore it to it's original condition.
