I finally got it to work (and opeiplayer2) by doing an ipkg-link mount /mnt/card. I think also I may also have re-installed it to root.

Relinked everything, and works!

Still got a couple of probs, but I think if I install these apps to root instead of sd, then they'll work.

I've just re-flashed with the Hengtes rom.

Now although xmms runs, it won't allow me to load mp3s for some reason.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Can anybody tell me how to switch back to opie (2)?

Thanks.

Flash to 3.5.2. There's configuration for WEP in the gui, and it seems to be even more reliable!

I re-checked my settings. It works!!

All I did was make sure that I was using UPPERCASE in the HEX. THere was no need to use "s:". Simple as that.

I don't have to disable anything, but when I use WEP, if doesn't work. It appears to be scanning, but never picks up an ip.

Does anybody know if this will be investigated, or if WPA will be implemented at a later date?

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / How do you install yours?

« on: November 16, 2004, 10:25:10 am »

I've been using the Zaurus SL-5500 for a while now, and only in the past week have upgraded from 3.2 to 3.5.1.

I've been most impressed, and have managed to get almost everything I had running on 3.2 to run on 3.5.1.

Now, on reading this forum, there are several different methods of configuring your SL-5500 after the initial flash. I've probably flahsed and re-flashed 15 - 20 times before I found a stable installation.

My setup is as follows:
SL-5500
Kingston 256Mb 60x SDCard formatted to ext2
SanDisk 256Mb CF Card with OZ feed and upgrades feed in subdirs.

The first method I tried is as follows:

Code: [Select]

1. Re-flash OZ 3.5.1 opie-image 64-0

2. Move root, opt, and usr to sd card (see below for my script)

2. Open as text /etc/ipkg.conf
add "src local file:///mnt/cf/feed" and "src local_upgrades file:///mnt/cf/upgrades"

3. from terminal, run

ipkg update
ipkg upgrade --force-overwrite
ipkg remove modutils
ipkg install --force-overwrite modutils
ipkg remove makedevs
ipkg install --force-overwrite makedevs

4. close Opie Terminal and go Settings > Shutdown > Reboot
This didn't work. On a reboot, it appears to have lost some links - modprobe and makedevs. I can't rember the rest.  OPIE didn't load.

The second method, and the one I currently use is as follows:

Code: [Select]

1. Flash 3.5.1 64-0 Opie

2. Before turning the Z on, remove SD and cf card

3. Boot up then add cf and sd card

4. Go through the initial setup, or just press finish until OPIE appears

5.  Open the terminal

6. get rid of the following:
ipkg remove portmap
ipkg remove opie-packagemanager

7. get rid of any apps from the last install
rm -rf /mnt/card/*

8.  Go to filemanager and Open /etc/ipkg.conf as text so it contains

dest root /
src oz-unstable file:///mnt/cf/feed

9. Run the following in terminal
ipkg update
ipkg install -d root opie-aqpkg
ipkg install -d root opie-symlinker

10. Move root, opt, and usr to sd card (see below for my script)
I can now install pretty much what I want from the cf card to ROOT using the AQPKG manager. The only issue I have is that if I try to upgrade the packages to the ones in the upgrades directory (after of course adding the correct source to ipkg.conf) it again looses the links to modprobe and makedevs, resulting in OPIE not loading.

My script can be found here.

So, is there a better way or preferred way to configure 3.5.1??

How do you initially configure yours after the initial flash??

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Selecting a zImage for the SL-5500

I also have a SL-550 and 256SD card. I use OZ 3.2 64/0.

Have a look here https://www.oesf.org/forums/inde...?showtopic=4514 for my install script.

As opt and home are moved there first, most things are installed on the sd card.

Ok, so I've installed Opera 6, but none of the icons are displayed? Is there a path setting somewhere I should change?

Thanks.
