Sharp ROMs / Oz To Sharp Rom Problem: Launcher.conf
« on: July 01, 2007, 01:48:50 am »
I have been using the OZ and Hentges ROMs for some time on my SL-5600. However, I want to run the VNC server on the Zaurus to remote control it on my Linux laptop. I have not been able to do this with anything I have tried with OZ. Others have reported success using the Sharp ROM.
I updated to the Sharp ROM with the "560v132c.zip" file from http://www.myzaurus.com/ROMupdate6.asp. The update from my CF card appeared to go just fine.
Upon booting the first time, the Zaurus screen fills with errors. All of them refer to settings in "launcher.conf" and file not found. It does this until a message about "to many errors" and shutting down "ln" (I think) for "5 minutes" This time passes and then lots of similar errors blast by until the minute shutdown happens again. This is all I can get upon booting the Sharp ROM update.
From this state, I can update back to OZ or Hentges just fine. This leaves me quite puzzled. I can try different CF cards as sources though I am using the same CF card for OZ and Hentges updates. I have not yet tried doing another download of the file from Sharp. I also have not tried the Windows update process since I use Linux. I do have a Windows install that I could use to try the Windows update if someone thinks it would help.
Am I looking at a bad flash ROM that doesn't write a certain region or some other hardware issue? Any guesses, educated or otherwise?
