Hardware Mods / Handheld X86 Pc Project
« on: February 21, 2006, 02:46:46 am »
I have plans to do a handheld PPC based on the EFIKA design. Who needs x86?

General Discussion / Mtdblock3 Won't Mount!

You want to do something like this

Code: [Select]
modprobe mtdram total_size=65536
modprobe mtdblock
dd if=initrd.bin of=/dev/mtdblock0
mount -t jffs2 /dev/mtdblock0 /mnt/floppy
replace initrd.bin with the name of the file image you created. If you don't have mtdblock and mtdram compiled kernel available, then you can od it on the zaurus, you might need to create another looop device but.
That's what I tried. It froze/crashed both systems (x86_64 and x86).

I have an image of /dev/mtdblock3, not a NAND... The contents aren't valuable enough that I'd take the time to put it back on the Z for recovery, just if I can somehow extract it on my desktop system...

I'm having problems getting to my home partition--
1. at boot, I need to Ctrl-C, or it will never finish
2. after this, /home is unmounted
3. I don't notice any problems in dmesg
4. mount -t jffs2 /dev/mtdblock3 /home <-- hangs and uses 100% CPU as a zombie (unkillable) process

Any ideas?

Details, friend, details! Which Zaurus? Which OS?
SL-C760 running my fork of OpenZaurus.

Boot how?
Booting... starting the daemons and such.

Have you tried a D+B to command line & then attempted to mount mtdblock3?
What's D+B? I can try mounting mtdblock3 after it boots (using Ctrl-C), but as I said... it uses 100% CPU and hangs.

I've restored a NAND image to make the Z usable again, but I still have the jffs2 image of mtdblock3 I'd like to recover data from. Attempting to do the whole loopback/mtdram stuff causes both my x86 server and x86_64 desktop (both running Gentoo) to freeze up.

I'd try it (and possibly buy it) if it is licensed morally-- something like GPL or along those lines.

HSN's out of stock for this now, but just in case, here's a code for between 2/15/2005 and 5/31/2005: "To save $15, refer to coupon code #531105"

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / OZ freezing

Setting the updating to 9 sec seems to make the freezing stop (or a lot less often). Perhaps the applet is b0rking something?
Opie-wirelessapplet is broken for some time now and is causing massive resume problems
for many people. Just uninstall it.
Why can a (normally) user-mode application even have the ability to freeze the system? Uninstalling it seems to have helped, but the system still freezes every now and then. I'm wondering if it's an issue w/ the drivers that is accelerated by constant polling (the applet)

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / OZ freezing
« on: October 02, 2004, 08:22:18 pm »
My OZ 3.5.1 freezes quite often for some reason. Anyone else had this problem or know how to fix it? If I'm lucky enough to have focus in a terminal, I can usually use it to chvt 1 and restart Opie. Then it will continue to work until it freezes again. This suggests it is an issue with either Opie, QPE, or the touchscreen drivers.
I can reproduce the freezing quite predictably by:
1. enable wireless
2. have wireless applet updating the signal line every 0sec
3. wait for wireless applet to die
4. use ?? applet to eject wireless card
5. Z is frozen: no input works, suspend button is ignored, and turning the switch on the bottom to remove battery is also ignored (Z is on until battery is removed)

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Konqueror Cookies
« on: October 01, 2004, 01:50:34 pm »
OZ 3.5.1 (Opie) is working nice so far. Installed Konqueror, but I can't login to my SquirrelMail for some reason. I am guessing this is a cookie issue (I get a "you're not logged in" immidiately after logging in). Anyone else experience this or know how to fix it?
Thanks.

Cxx0 General discussions / Backup/Restore over USB?

Well in that case you're fine. That's exactly what I was saying. Just use the card to perform the NAND backup, save the file somewhere (like your PC, a CD-R, whatever) then start using the CF card for storage/installation etc. with your Z (after deleting the NAND backup file as you've got it elsewhere).
You completely missed my point, but oh well...

Software / Linux 2.6
« on: August 10, 2004, 03:23:21 am »
Is anyone using Linux 2.6 on their Z? How does it compare to the 2.4 kernels included in most (all?) ROMs?
What configuration works?
