Zaurus - pdaXrom / Trying To Reflash My Zaurus
« on: August 10, 2006, 08:45:20 pm »
Thing is,
many of us would like a pdx rom for our machines. So the next time people crash their machines, and have to start over, before you really make it personal, then upload it.
Thanks,

C1000/3x00 Hardware / C3k & 8gb Card (what Size To Format?)
« on: May 17, 2006, 12:00:51 am »
Okay,
after a long hiatus, I am back to trying to get my little z up and running. I have a 8gb CF card that I will replace the 4gb md card. The card is hosed, and I don't have a back up. So what 3 partitions should I put the 8gb card into? what sizes of partitions, and should I have one vfat for my windows xp machine to read? I need some recommendations here. Do I even need that for openzaurus? I have only used cacko in the past, but for my zc3k, I am thinking that openzaurus (spitz, I think), will be more stable because it just uses the harddrive to install on. Thanks, any advice would be great!

General Discussion / Hdd1 Error!
« on: March 27, 2006, 03:00:03 pm »
I can only sympathize with you Daniel. I have had some really bad problems with my C3000. I think the small ram size really makes this machine a unstable. As soon as I get my machine up and running I am going to sell it, and get either the c1000, or the C31000. But the C3000 (which I love the white body), just is not stable.
If the 16mb RAM was able to be overcome, like just use the harddrive to boot up from, then it would be a much more stabler machine. IMHO, I am still a linux newbie, and I know you are an excellent hacker! I will be curious how you fix the problems.
Here is a good listing of places I have found that have helped other people (Unfortunatly not me)

I purchased your serial light for the Hp200lx a long time ago. I still have them and they work

Okay,
Is this possible? Can someone copy their internal microdrive and then send it to me? I can't use the menus, I can't move up or down in the diferent numbers. (They come up, but I can't select anything in their. )
I have the original 4g md and I just want to copy appropriate files, and pop it back into my C3000, and hope/pray it works. So far nothing I have tried will "unbrick" it. see the previous messages I have posted ad nauseam
All this because I pulled out my CF card, but evidently it was not unmounted at the time. I was running the cackobeta and X/QT. I was not doing anything weird with it. Now, I have been screwed. and am very frusterated with this process.
thanks

Yeah, I have taken the 8gCF card out and put it in my slc860 and CFdisk it. I tried to make 3 types of partitions two ext2 , and one fat. My sl860 reads it in the CF slot just fine.
My home computer is a windose and I couldn't find a way to do the linux partition with it, and didn't have a stick handy to even do a live linux of some kind. Keep in mind I am pretty much a newbie, and this is a huge learning curve for me. I think the 860 is easier to use with cacko. I am trying out the PXD Rom, but it remains pretty much not used. I guess I need more of a PIM then the other stuff. I just wanted to run gnome bible study, or something like that. the QTsword is okay for reading, but not really that good for study.

1. Okay fdisk doesn't see my hard drive at all (8g hard CF drive)
I try to mount (just stupid error codes)
Want more info? I have put all the stupid error codes in all my posts. People tell me the same thing. I CAN"T USE THE MENUS! How many frickking times can I say that! All I have access to is the prompt from the DB Menu.
Now, if someone can help me with this I would greatly appreciate it. Yes I have checked every link to the above postings (probably about 100 times!)
Obviously I am a dumb smuck that needs a little more help than that.
Do I sound pissed? YES! this is a frusterating experience that I care not to experience again. And as soon as I get this stupid piece of crap machine working again, I will sell it and get something more stable like the MS CRap everyone talks about here. At least it works.

Thanks for your help. That is probably the only thing I have not tried. I do have the c3000 NOT the C3100, but I tried it anyway. I saw a lot of Japennese stuff, but I still can't do anything.
The only thing I can do is use the login as root, and run commands from there. I am unable to mount the /dev/hda1
but I am able to create/delete partitions. But I am unable to use the other diagnosis menu's, they come up, but then freeze. I am unable to select the different numbered menus - on both of the menu's.
I am stuck with just the menu stuff. I am at a loss. I need really detailed instructions, because when I think things can't get any better - they just get worse. I have worked on this for the past few weeks, and now again for 4 hours.
Please can someone walk me thru how to in the command line restore my C3000? I am desparate! I am begining to HATE linux and Zaurus! What I would like to do is just copy an image from my CF drive to my hda? drive (internal CF 8g card). But, then again, I can't mount it. I did change the whole thing to linux partition number 1 primary, and let it do the default cylinder stuff from start to end. Okay.... I know I am babbling now, I just don't know what else to do?!?
I use winxp on all my other computers (work & home), can anyone give me commands to do this on windose? OR I have my cl860. can someone walk me thru doing it there? I already took out the CF card and CFdisk it in my 860, but the Cl3000 doesn't have that. I liked that (Cfdisk), cuz it is easy to see what I am doing w/ a gui.

Okay, may be getting somewhere....
I am able to get back into the NAND Restore menu : I have systc300.dbk on my CF card, I have the prompt execute restore? and I have pressed the enter key, and the okay key. There isn't a change, but I am going to let it stay for a while in this state. It appears to be just frozen but I can't seem to get anywhere else on this.
how long does this usually last? someone know who has done this?
wish me luck
