OpenBSD / Boot Problems?

« on: August 19, 2007, 09:03:00 pm »

Ok, yes. I reflashed with trisoft's rom.Then I reinstalled OpenBSD again. Now I get "SHARP" boot up, and then the error.

Did you ever get OpenBSD installed on your SL-C3100?

No. I had to leave state to train again. I just got back yesterday. Sometime soon I may get back to this again. I'm partly stalled up again by the idea I'm not gonna be able to port maemo, or qtopia. Also I'm looking hard at openmoko, and its UI once it's released. I'm not gonna work on porting phoneme until I'm happy on some UI. Let's say I'm under one big "undecided" atm.

A nice read, after you read between our lines. A world of ifawns, and then there was OpenMoko.

Mkay people, this is now way off topic. This is not tech support, nor was that what this thread was about. This thread was about fans discussing angstrom, openmoko, and new technology. I brought up the idea it might be fun to run openmoko (the software stack) on zaurii.

I don't like arguing with anyone, and I really don't see anything productive in having other people arguing up a thread. This is not a support channel for angstrom, this is not tech support. We are discussing what we the community might like to see, or other types of imaginings that might inspire the angstrom project.

@koen

I'm glad you're still here. I'm sorry things have went the way they have now. I only really hoped to help others to inspire you more with creative ideas. Not argue up a meaningless thread. There are many nice people here. I'm not excusing your actions of late, but I find no gain in dwelling on them either.

@everyone

Please let us act together, and forget about what we now can't change. What is done, is done.

@adf

You got it. I was talking about an angstrom release for example my SL-3100. No such release exists contrary to what koen has been trying to lead us to believe. Packages do exist for angstrom in the feed, I do give him that out of what he said. This unfortunately is not what we were discussing.

Just found this digging around in koen's blog:

The short and sweet guide to building openmoko for Ångström
Sun, 2007-02-18 11:25 — koen

This howto assumes you already have a working OE setup.

Step 1:
set DISTRO="angstrom-2007.1-oabi" in your local.conf
Execute the following commands:
bitbake gcc-cross
bitbake -b packages/uboot/uboot-gta01_svn.bb

Step 2:
set DISTRO="angstrom-2007.1" in your local.conf
add ASSUME_PROVIDED += "uboot-gta01" to your local.conf

Step 3:
bitbake openmoko-image

Well, I'm back again. I got rid of that pesky OZ boot info, and I reinstalled OpenBSD/zaurus. I'm not sure what to do to fix my new problem?

"When trying to mound hda1, it fails and gives me a "HDD1 error!!"."

I get this same error? I have the old hd0a, hd0b setup.

koen,

I think the huge screaming rant is directly related to needing to google for angstrom's roadmap when they are too lazy to update it themselves? If you want to be a smart ass, maybe you should start with yourself first. Something about throwing rocks at glass houses?

perhaps you all should search better before posting drivel
[div align=\"right\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Not to say you're off topic, but I did give your suggestion the benefit of the doubt.

search angstrom openmoko
search angstrom matchbox

"The error returned was:

Sorry, but we did not find any matches to display. Try again and broaden your search criteria. If you were searching for new posts since your last visit, it's possible that there are none to show."

Nothing on the roadmap either.

I honestly opened this thread to show there was a community interest in a project like this. No, tmk there are no such plans to dump gpe/opie/e for going full openmoko in angstrom. (name of the software stack including ui)

Am I the only one who would like to see a port of OpenMoko for Zaurus?

Haha! Got OpenBSD/z installed again using the ulinux zboot module. Got a new problem, but I'm back on track again. Thanks guys!

Well, now that did work. I swapped to CF (aka microdrive), and did as you requested. I'm wondering now if my SD was part of the problem?

mkfs.msdos -F 16 -I /dev/sdd

The restore went perfect. Now I must ask. what did that just do? Do I have emergency rom back again?

BTW, I must add. I think the recommendation to use the Fn+D+M was a great one. Working from read only is great methodology IMO.

Now I'll start working on restoring the hdd if I need to, to get back to installing OpenBSD/zaurus. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I learned a lot from this, and I realize now how intricate my Z really is.

Well, been a while again.

I did what I was told. File was reported to not output what we're after, so I have a better plan. List for me the steps using linux that will result in a properly formatted CF/SD? Then we can try again. My steps seemed wanting now.

t3_slider,

No you were good. Working from unbreakable is the best in my way of seeing things. As I said, I understand people have real lives. This is why it's nice to play in volume. Yes, in my parent post I did say I own a 3100. I hear you about the valuable, but I was hoping to work on getting good embedded java working amoung other things. I guess toying w/ my Z is why I got it?

pelrun,

I'll try again tomarrow as it's really late now. Sounds like we're onto something now? When I remount it msdos it looks right. When it automounts it shows up vfat? (workstation/cardreader) Yes, I only use one, or the other. Not both.

"file: could not find any magic files!"
