OpenBSD / Sl-c3200 Full Hd “openbsd Hallelujah”

« on: July 10, 2006, 08:01:05 am »

Ok I got my new AmbiCom WL1100C-CF Wireless card and it works fine except something I would like you guys comment on it “ This Card gets over heated!“ in a way that’s really can’t hold it, I used to wireless cards heat, but not like this I feel it’s malfunction or something, would like to hear from you guys.

Anyway here the way to get Andy Full HD install for SL-C3200, basically following Andy installation guide as it is Andy Whole HD Guide

I replaced the kernel with tetsu kernel Tetsu 18h SL-C3200 Kernel also i replaced the updater.sh with this one
 [ Invalid Attachment ]

So the files now looks like this

Code: [Select]

fdisk
initrd.bin
zImage.bin  <==--- Replaced by Tetsu Kernel
updater.sh   <==--- Replaced by Updater.sh above

Following the guide as it is and after installing OpenBSD and before booting it there is another modification, i used the same method to log to emergency screen using B+D and insert the CF card and preform the following:

Code: [Select]

mkdir /mnt/mtdflash
mount /dev/mtdblock2 /mnt/mtdflash
cp /mnt/mtdflash/etc/pcmcia/config /mnt/cf
in your regular Linux/BSD computer (Or Windows with UltraEdit Text Editor) open the file that we just copy it, and replace all ide-cs pattern to be ide_cs.

replace the old file with the one you edit it (cp /mnt/cf/config /mnt/mtdflash/etc/pcmcia/config)  now boot the new FULL HD OpenBSD

i hope this will help someone.

and yeah Andy could you plz release full HD image for SL-C3200? you start this guide it will be great to take it to another level, and thank you for all the information you share it with us.

OpenBSD / New Install On Sl-c3200

« on: June 22, 2006, 09:55:10 pm »

Good day everyone

i just installed openbsd on sl-c3200 (the easy way i'm using cacko 1.23 rom)

from the console i unmounted /dev/hda3 then start (fdisk /dev/hda) and deleted the FAT partition then i added 1GB FAT partition type [c], then the rest of the disk type [a6] OpenBSD

after that i mkfs.vfat the /dev/hd3 and mount it to /mnt/hda3 and switch to there and grabed all the packages of the snapshot (base39.tgz ..etc) using the wget ( i did that to use disk installation, i installed the openbsd ipk on cacko and just followed the installation proccess

my problem now when i plug my wireless card it gives me this error

Code: [Select]

wi0 at pcmcia1 function 0 "PLANEX COMMUNICATIONS INC., PLANEX GW-CF11X Wireless CF Card, " port 8x0/64, irq 137
wi0: init failed
: unable to read station addressany idea guys what todo now? do i have to install the wireless driver (Hostap) or firmware? if so where to get it from? the GW-CF11X card has prism3 chipset, and yeah by the way since i'm new to openBSD where to tweak make file? i mean the compiler option to use xscale insted of arm optimization

thanks
