Sharp ROMs / Cacko Flash Problem (3200)

« on: January 11, 2008, 02:41:31 pm »

Hi,

Don't know that this will be much help. Battled through and it seems that formating was one problem. The reason I hadn't formatted was that the installs claim to format themselves. mk2fs and mkdos. This is for various hdd1 hdd2 error messages (and check the layout too which is in the post linked below).

If you get the message "hdd not initialized" the problem is lacking .sys files (this was the second problem).

Trisoft have all the answers. You can download the .sys files from them.

See this post for link to those and for disk partitioning.

I got my cacko Rom from

http://sharpromfeed.home.linuxtogo.org/dow.../cacko/rom1.23/

as cacko.biz wasn't answering.

I shall return to find out how to get a driver for my wireless card, but I'm going to rest on my slightly tatty laurels for a bit.

Thanks for the help.

Sharp ROMs / Cacko Flash Problem (3200)

then format all the partitions

To be honest, this particular action has been lacking and could very well be the problem. Hopefully I've just been an idiot. Will try it tomorrow night when I have a bit of time and let you know.

Thanks for your time

Sharp ROMs / Cacko Flash Problem (3200)

« on: January 08, 2008, 09:59:46 am »

Hi,

I don't want to start a new post for this and it is related to this installation thing, so I hope you don't mind me asking a couple of questions.

The history is that I have a 3200 which was working with Cacko which would occassionally blank out when not on power (maybe the backlight bug, I don't know). I decided to change ROMs as I seem to recall Cacko going quite well.

The long and the short is that I've been through, Angstrom, Debian and PDAXROM and none of them have actually booted. I've had various hdd Errors (hdd Error, hdd2 error)

I have now followed the restore using Trisoft's files and have that installed, I think, but it's in Japanese (I've added an ipk which adds English to the Japanese on menus, but still not ideal). I presumed their restore would be in English or German as they translate their machines, don't they? What is also not ideal, is that I did this installation and it works fine - until I do a reboot and then I get "hdd not initialised."

So, the questions are:

a)Do these disk symptoms leap out and say to the experts: you haven't done x to the disk you cretin - it's all over the place if you'd only look?
b)Do I have to have this .sys directory with all ROMs taken from the Trisoft site?

Thanks for you time.
