Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Gpe And Usb Networking

« on: July 20, 2006, 11:32:42 pm »

Hello everyone,

I have followed the following howtos:

Primarily this: http://www.handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/GPE...SB?action=print

Also tried: http://openzaurus.org/wordpress/howto/usb-networking/ and http://wiki.openzaurus.org/HowTos/USB_Networking

Following the first howto I managed to ssh into my SL-5600, but I haven't been able to get Internet access. Are there any other howtos? Which logs should I check to get a better idea of why it's failing?

Thank you for any help!

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Trouble Turning Sl 5600 Back On

Read up on on the r21 kernel patch. It's already in the Hentges ROM and directions for upgrading from the original OZ 3.5.3 ROM are on the main site:

This patch gets rid of the on/off button issue. This is a well known/discussed bug.

Thank you for the link. But is there an easier How To? I am a newbie on Zaurus.

Do I have to get USB networking working before I can get the kernel patch? Is there a way to just download the files off the net onto my computer and install them? How do I flash _just_ the kernel?

Thanks.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Trouble Turning Sl 5600 Back On

Hi everyone,

I reciently got a Sharp Zaurus SL 5600 and installed OZ with Opie on it. My biggest complaints about Opie are as follows:

1. When I turn the Z off (holding down the cancel button), I can't turn it back on for a few minutes. Furthermore, once it turns on, it turns off instantly and I have to press the on button again. What can I do to fix this?

2. The alarm sound is very quite. Can I change it for another alarm sound?

The first problem is the biggest one and causes me the most pain. The second one is a minor inconvience.

Thank you for any help.
