OpenBSD / Strange Problem With Boot

« on: September 26, 2005, 04:30:31 am »

I think you have a corrupted boot loader, kernel and/or improperly partitioned
disk, but need additional info to diagnose and provide relevant solutions.

Yes, so it was. I've downloaded new snapshot today and installed it. OpenBSD boots ok.
Thanks.
(Here, in Russia no one uses Zaurus with OpenBSD [most think, that this is OS for maniacs].)

OpenBSD / Strange Problem With Boot

« on: September 25, 2005, 09:58:16 am »

Good day!

I've just installed OpenBSD on my SL-C3000 and tried to boot it.
And zboot says me "loaded 2894717 bytes" and system halts. What could it be?

And i'm using latest OpenBSD snapshot (09/22/05).
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=96948\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Please provide more info.

A.) How did you install the boot loader(zboot, bsdmod.o, etc)?  Did you install
through .ipk or manuall copied it?

I've used openbsd38_arm.ipk from latest OpenBSD/zaurus snapshot.

B.) How did you partition your disk?  Please provide dmesg, fdisk and disklabel
output.

Here they go:

(This i've entered when was asked by installer.)

There are previous posts and threads here regarding getting those info.

I think you have a corrupted boot loader, kernel and/or improperly partitioned
disk, but need additional info to diagnose and provide relevant solutions.

It's rather strange, because i've got them with latest snapshot (even md5's are the same).

Best regards! Kojiro.

OpenBSD / Strange Problem With Boot

« on: September 25, 2005, 04:47:43 am »

I've just installed OpenBSD on my SL-C3000 and tried to boot it.
And zboot says me "loaded 2894717 bytes" and system halts. What could it be?

And i'm using latest OpenBSD snapshot (09/22/05).

General Discussion / Bricked Zaurus SL-C860. Please help!

« on: April 14, 2004, 12:08:53 am »

So, now I have a dead Zaurus SL-C860? as a result of following:

1. Got a Zaurus SL-C860, reflashed it with pdaXrom 1.0.5. It did reboot many times successfully, worked pretty well.

2. At one day battery got fully discharged. So Z died, as it usually happens, and did not respond to any buttons.

3. Got back my charger, plugged it into Z, and tried to power it on (AC led was lit up). Even after some time of charging it did not went on. Again, no reaction to _any_ button.

4. Then I tried to access \"Japanese serv. menu\" (OK+ON) - no reaction. Removing battery, plugging battery back, OK+ON - it is as black as brick.

5. Also, a try to go to \"Service menu\" (D+M) did the same - nothing. It did not even lit up.

6. So, being frustrated, I tried to use  http://pocketworkstation.org/files/recover/. The result was again not wery good. At the stage, where both leds should be lit up constantly for two minutes, it just blinks them (for infinite time, as I suppose). After terminating I got a dead Z again.
The card was formatted to FAT16, files from http://pocketworkstation.org/files/recover/ were not broken due to transfer.

I do not have _any_ ideas, how to make Z work. Can anyone help?

Please exuse me, if my english is bad - I\'m not a native english speaker. I\'m from Russia.
