Angstrom & OpenZaurus / collie and kernel from 3.5.3 upgrades

« on: July 06, 2005, 06:08:05 am »

I dont know why you guys have a problem with r21 kernel on collie.

My collie has OZ 3.5.3 installed after it was released, updated with upgrades and I just flashed r21 kernel and started machine. All works ok. No hangs during startup, no Big Red Warning message - just like it has to be.

HRW and all,

I noticed that in a couple of different cases where users have reported issues, both you and Mickeyl have been unable to reproduce the problem. Since both of you are in Europe, I thought that may be a regional issue (e.g. SL-5500 vs. SL-5500G)...Or it could be related to different manufacturer's chips used in construction or rev levels of internal firmware?

I'm just guessing here, but is it possible? Especially with the broad range of manifestations of the original problems (some had problems even after modifying /etc/device_table, some had few problems leaving device_table unmodified, etc) as well as the range of behavior with the new kernel. I know some of it is configuration options we use (for instance, I am pivoting root to the SD card), etc.

Just a thought,

I've had the same problem with my collie (SL-5500) bought from the UK. I'm also pivoting root to the SD card  - if that's any help.

I'm getting the same problem with the newer kernel not booting on a SL-5500 Collie. I flashed just the zImage, but am getting similar problems with init not progressing.

I've tried flashing the newer kernel a couple of times, but with no luck. The original kernel will still boot however. I'm using a modifed Root on SD setup, but testing out reiserfs on the disk image (it works, but doesn't really give any advantages - it just seemed a good idea at the time).

Just upgraded by downloading the zImage for collie 64-0 version in upgrades.

renamed it and copied it to my cf card, and used the opie image from the 5000/5500 folder.

Flash seemed to go OK but now I have a big red WARNING

You are running the wrong kernel

You are running ` 2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix- `
I expect ` 2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix-3.5.3 `

Running this combination is not supported

I will sleep for 1 minute now. Use this chance to reboot the device and flash the proper kernel now!

Any thoughts?

Samac

PS I tried reflashing a second time with the same result, now going back to the original 3.5.3 64-0 zImage.
