Sharp ROMs / Cacko Kernel For Sl-5500/5000d

« on: April 17, 2004, 02:03:51 am »

I have attempted to update using the above kernel but when I reset all I get is the boot logo and it sits there. I am assuming that when you state \"using the usual updat procedure\" you are referring to the RESET and C+D option.

Please, make all the usual \"CF card flashing\" checks, such as your card is FAT16, zImage is the only file on the root of CF, it\'s named exactly zImage, etc.

What boot logo do you see? If ts\'s Sharp logo, kernel did not flash...

Try to flash zaurus with Ospack from Sharp and see if it works.

A further update. When I installed the correct kernel for my Sharp 3.1 default 32-30 configuration everything worked fine. After renaming the backup it also restored fine.

Subsequent to this I decided to bite the bullet and install your latest 64-0 ROM and the new kernel and again everything works very well now. It is nice to have the extra memory for applications and /home on my Lexar 256 MB SD card.

Thanks for all your hard work on this.

Richard.

same happening here - boots with penguin, but then sits there. This is the 64-0 kernel. Is it unpacking the /home/ tar file? How long should I expect this to take?

My MMC card was already formatted to ext2, so I assume I don\'t need to fdisk and reformat...?

It\'s sitting there, having printed:
INIT: version 2.78 booting

This is exactly the situation I have using the 64-0 kernel, but now I have tried the 32-30 default kernel and it works fine.

Another thing, the link posted to the new battery applet is dead. Is there another location for this applet. The ZSI site has a protest page up so I can\'t get it from there either.

It was your penguin logo. Sorry I forgot to mention that I had already verified that the CF card was FAT and flashing works normally.

I did flash it back to the Sharp 3.13 OSPACK successfully. I\'ll try to flash your zImage again today.

Cacko Kernel is an updated kernel image for Sharp ROM 3.10/3.13 and compatible ROMs.

This NOT a full ROM update, this is only a kernel. You\'ll be able to continue to use your existing ROM after you flash this kernel update.


zImage-sl5500-64-0  - memory layout for home on SD ROM

I have attempted to update using the above kernel but when I reset all I get is the boot logo and it sits there. I am assuming that when you state \"using the usual updat procedure\" you are referring to the RESET and C+D option.

I have an SL-5500 with the zImage file copied to the root of my FC card and while it appears to flash okay, it won\'t boot into my Sharp 3.13 ROM.

Any suggestions?
