Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Install Oz To Internal Cf Card?
« on: July 11, 2006, 11:42:57 am »
I am now trying to remove the journal on /dev/hda1 making it ext2 not ext3. But I cannot remount / readonly even when booted without a gui.
Does this have something to do with the pivot_root?
What can I do?

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Install Oz To Internal Cf Card?
« on: July 09, 2006, 11:17:03 am »
My Ridata 8GB Pro 150X Compact Flash Card provides the following cardctl ident:
Socket 1:
product info: "SMI VENDOR", "SMI PRODUCT", ""
manfid: 0x000a, 0x0000
function: 4 (fixed disk)
Should this be a bug report?
All that has to be rebuilt is the kernel, correct?
I don't want my flash card to be mounted with a journal. After the install will changing fstab be enough to make the partition mount as ext2?

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Install Oz To Internal Cf Card?

I have an 8gb CF card installed internally in my Zaurus SL-C3100 and have been unable to install OZ successfully onto my Z. I installed rc2 before I replaced the microdrive.
The install process seems to go fine: Formating, extracting, reboot.
After that I get the OZ logo and below it: "Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)"
Is something in the kernel looking at the drive's ident? What can I change in the tarball?

Has anyone got a CF bluetooth card to work on beta4?

Zaurus - pdaXrom / How Can I Best Utilize /dev/hda On C3100?
« on: May 18, 2006, 11:30:53 am »
I have been wondering for quite some time what the best way for me to offload variable data from the nand flash to avoid unneeded write operations.
This has just become even more important to me as I have just replaced my internal microdrive with a RiData 150x 8GB compactflash card
I have thought of the following possibiliies:
1) simply create symlinks from /var /etc /home /usr /tmp to folder on /mnt/ide
I have tried this before with 1.10rc12 just with /home and had some issues with resuming.
2) mount folders with the bind option in fstab
3) actually mount /var /etc /home /tmp /usr to partitions on hda.
I think this would involve editing hotplug or pcmcia files to work properly with suspend?
Can anyone tell me which ones?
4) Use a pivot-root installation like the C3000.
Please let me know your thoughts and any advantages/disadvantages you see to any method.
Thanks.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Pdaxrom Rc11 For Pxa Devices
« on: September 21, 2005, 11:41:35 am »
I have had similar problems with the microdrive on my C3100.
I started out with hda containing a 128mb swap partiton and one big ext3 partition and made the aproriate entries in /etc/fstab, but the Z ignores them and wants to mount hda1 at /mnt/ide so I repartitioned to one big ext3 partition on the microdrive and let it automount at /mnt/ide. I created a symlink from /home to /mnt/ide/home.
On resume I sometimes could no access my microdrive and had to reboot.
I also have an AMBICOM BT2000C cf card which was working on the sharp rom with tetsu's special kernel but is not working under pdaXrom. In the meantime I have repartioned and flashed back to the sharp rom to analyze the differences in the bluetooth configuration.
I really like pdaXrom! Very responsive and the ability to run X apps without an extra layer is also very cool. I have donated and will again.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / 3100 Beta Testers Needed!
« on: September 16, 2005, 11:57:55 am »
Your patched bootloader works on the C3100!
I Used this image to patch the bootloader, repartion and install pdaXrom successfully on my SL-C3100.
I will play with it and report back.

Sharp ROMs / Debian Applications On Sharp Rom
« on: September 07, 2005, 02:03:05 pm »
It shouldn't be necessary to convert packages or launch into a full debian system running an X server.
One should be able to maintain a working Debian chroot environment but only launch the application you want and have it connect to the X/Qt server running in QTopia?
I do somthing similar with my AMD64 System and an x86 chroot.
the process is described in detail here : https://alioth.debian.org/docman/view.php/3...o.html#id271773
/proc /home and /tmp should be mounted within the chroot. tmp is so that the chroot can connect to the local X server. The entries in /etc/fstab would look like this:
#debian-chroot
/home /hdd3/debroot/home none bind 0 0
/tmp /hdd3/debroot/tmp none bind 0 0
proc /hdd3/debroot/proc proc defaults 0 0
now to launch a program into your X/Qt server would be as simple as starting X and type this in a terminal:
chroot /hdd3/debroot
su - zaurus
export DISPLAY=:0
openoffice
or if dchroot is installed and configured you could just type this.
dchroot -c debian -d openoffice
maybe make a shortcut like this:
xlauncher dchroot -c debian -d openoffice
This should elimintate the overhead (but not the space) involved in running the entire debian system but still allow you to use aptitude to update software and solve dependencies.
I haven't tested this yet but intend to shortly on my SL-C3100
