I re-Dl'd twicw and formatted 3 times so far and all with the same results

What is the size of your CF-card? Some users have problems with large cards and some CF-cards just won’t flash properly… can you try another card?

CF/SD fdisk/formatting just in case you need it:

The md5sum of the initrd.bin is in the T3.tar.gz (please check that)

  thanks for your help. I'm done for tonight but might try again later in the week.

I wanted to update my progress and hopefully save people from the same hassles, what was happening is Izarc was not extracting the initrd correctly. Got it all working this morning and its great. Thanks for the help and the great software. Now I will hide in a corner somewhere and beat the stupidity out of myself.

I've tried that also and still the same results, not sure what to do at this point, let me know what the secret is , and while I wait for it I'll try again

OK…

Is the CF-card filesystem ok? You may have to format.
Are the md5sums of your files ok? You may have to d/l again?

what I am doing is putting zImage.bin and initrd.bin on the cf card and putting cardfs on sd and always get the same result.

Hello Hydro

For the collie (5500) it’s zImage. Copy the zImage, initrd.bin and the cardfs-whatever.bin onto your CF-card and flash as per instructions.

Instructions:
http://openzaurus.org/wordpress/installation/sl-50005500/

http://hentges.net/misc/openzaurus/docs/ca...ml#installation

If you still have problems let us know.

How do you just flash the kernel without having to re-flash the initrd.bin?

You follow the same procedure you would use to flash both, except only place the updater.sh and the kernel (zimage.bin) on your card.

Well I'm new here so I will say hello first, HELLO, ok now that thats done,

on my 5500 no matter how I flash it I get the same thing, the open zaurus splash screen and a blinking curser.

I've tried renaming the zimage since one thread says use .bin at the end but the OZ site says not to but I get the same results either way.

what I am doing is putting zImage.bin and initrd.bin on the cf card and putting cardfs on sd and always get the same result.

   Any help is appreciated.
