Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Package Manager Freezes Oz 3.5.4

« on: May 03, 2006, 07:01:12 am »

All,
     I scanned through a few threads, and tried changing my installation server from NL to Germany, uninstalled package-manager, and installed the old opie-aqpkg and I've had no lockups since (and boy did I try to get it to lock!)

One gripe tho - ipkg froze when uninstalling packge-manager, so I had to interrupt it (after 30 minutes) and just hoped it would be OK :-/

Looks like it's all OK for me for now .... now, what shall I break next :-?

Ta,

Dave.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Package Manager Freezes Oz 3.5.4

« on: May 02, 2006, 09:49:49 am »

I'm seeing this problem too, but with pretty much any package.  I have a sl5500, with a kingston 1Gig SD card (which I have formatted to ext2 and moved /home and /opt to to make space for apps)
I'm running the 64/0 collie kernel, with OZ3.5.4/OPIE.  I setup USBNET on my linux box, and the package manager can happily update its' lists.  I select a bunch of random apps - say download - it does stuff for a while, then will randomly freeze.

When this happens it needs a soft reboot to get out - very annoying.

I've also tried installing local apps from a CF card, with the same lockups.

I'm pretty much going to give up on the release, unless someone can please offer a solution?  Hardware bug (dodgy SD card)?  Dodgy kernel?  Dodgy package manager (is it the same as aqpg?)

Any ideas?

Dave.
