« on: January 25, 2007, 07:31:06 pm »

thanks for the info Romulus703x.

can you also give me the output for the following:

ls /

ls /dev/loop*

ls /media/

mount | grep " / " | grep -v rootfs | cut -c-8

cat /var/lib/pcmcia/stab
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=152327\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Hello Meanie,
here are the requested answers right after the login:
1.) ls /
     bin dev home media opt root tmp var
     data etc lib mnt proc sbin usr

2.) ls /dev/loop
     /dev/loop0 /dev/loop2 /dev/loop4 /dev/loop6
     /dev/loop1 /dev/loop3 /dev/loop5

3.) ls /media/
     fakeroot realroot

4.) mount | grep " / " | grep -v rootfs | cut -c-8

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Pdaxii13 On Nand

« on: January 24, 2007, 04:13:38 pm »

Anyway, after quitting X and doing

mount /dev/hda1 /media/fakeroot
mkfs.init

It DOES at least appear to copy over a couple of partitions but after a reboot I end up with pdaXii13 akita non-full but with much more errors at boot time and after doing this I am unable to modify any files such as /etc/rc.d/rc.rofilesys as I just get 'No space left on device' errors. Maybe the trick is to edit that file BEFORE running mkfs.init? Mr. Tech Enthusiast feels out of his depth now and decides to go running back to the hackish c3000 install method he used before!   

Is there anyone out there who is willing and able to take over from where Meanie has left off with pdaXii13 on the c3100/c3200?

Thanks for revealing the mysterious mount command and for getting us this far Meanie!

again, you jumped the boat before determining the extend of the leak so to speak

you manually mounted the hdd without first determining why it wasn't mounting automatically which of course needs to be fixed first. it has to automatically mount at boot time for the rest of the things to succeed.

anyway, it would be helpful to provide the output of the following for the various akita supported models (c3100/c3200):

df -h
mount
cat /proc/deviceinfo/product
grep Hardware /proc/cpuinfo

Hello Meanie,
ok, here are the infos you requested for running NAND version on SL-C3200:
1.) df -h

Filesystem          Size        Used     Available     Use%     Mounted on
/dev/root           121.0M   53.5M     67.5M         44%       /
none                   12.0M   16.0k      12.0M         0%        /dev
/dev/mmcda1     968.2M   446.9M   521.3M       46%      /mnt/card
/dev/hda1          488.5M   291.8M   196.7M       60%      /mnt/cf

2.) mount

rootfs on / type rootfs (rw)
/dev/root on / type jffs2 (rw)
/proc on /proc type proc (rw)
none on /dev type tmpfs (rw)
none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw)
/dev/root on /mnt/user type jffs2 (rw)
/dev/mmcda1 on /mnt/card type vfat (rw,noatime)
/dev/hda1 on /mnt/cf type vfat (rw,noatime)

3.) cat /proc/deviceinfo/product

SL-C3200

4.) grep Hardware /proc/cpuinfo

Hardware     : SHARP Borzoi

I hope this will help you to clarify the step by step procedure for installing the full hdimage.tgz file.

Thanks for your help.

Good luck.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Pdaxii13 On Nand

« on: January 22, 2007, 10:11:45 am »

Meanoo:

I've just tried installing pdaXii13 akita on my c3100. It installed OK but I get a FAILED when it tries to load Module Dependencies on boot.

After I'd tried booting pdaXii13 I ran the latest pdaXii13 spitz installer and installed the 5.2b hdimage. After rebooting nothing seemed to have changed and it didn't ask me to copy /etc or /home from Microdrive to NAND as it says in your install instructions. What commands should I use to do this? Is there anything else I will need to do to complete my upgrade to pdaXii13 full?
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=150908\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Hello Danboid,
it seems that you are the winner.
Until know I can run only PdaXii13 NAND version. Thats it. Before I have done a flash to the NAND version I have done a repartition to the recommended partition. The PdaXrom Beta 3 could mount all 3 partition. After I reflashed to PdaXii13 NAND version there was no mount of all 3 partition ofd the microdrive.
I removed also the .hdd file and afterwards I have done mkfs.init. It shows me that he has seen new partition, but at the end there was no mount to them.

Please give me some advice, how I can mount all 3 microdrive partition correctly.
Maybe a printout of your fstab will help or any other hidden file where the mounting might be.

As I understood the update to the full hdimage will work only if the microdrive partitions are mounted.

This is a cry for help. We need definetly a correct written documentation.

On the other hand. The Nand version is really fast if you run everything with a
NAND resize of 121 MB.

Have fun.

Romulus703x.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Pdaxii13 On The Sl-c3200

« on: January 11, 2007, 04:05:56 pm »

Hi Romulus,

Well, not that much too write....I just followed the 4 steps that Meanie instructed in post #27 in this thread:


1. flash pdaXrom beta3 (don't worry about the hdd for now)

2. flash pdaXii13 using the older updater.sh from http://www.tyrannozaurus.com/feed/pdaXii13/files/updater.sh

3. rerun the option to flash kernel and initrd

4. reboot


That's it! Actually it's really quite simple...(assuming that you've had some experience flashing a Zaurus before, if not, still OK, it's not that hard....)

Just used a CF with the pdaXrom B3 on it at the root level to do Step 1 and had put the other files for pdaXii13 in a folder on the CF card.

Then for Step 2, I just moved the pdaXrom B3 files into a folder and moved the pdaXii13 files (http://www.tyrannozaurus.com/feed/pdaXii13/tmp/ except for getting 'updater.sh' which I got from other link shown above) up to the root level of the card and did Step 2, which includes a few other steps....

A. Choose 'Option 3' to "Install kernel and bootloader".

B. Choose 'Option 4' to "Extract 'hdimage.tgz' (either 'base' or 'full', depending upon which one you downloaded and put on your card...I installed the 'full' version).

C. Choose 'Option 3' to "Install kernel and bootloader" again.

D. Choose 'Option 6' to reboot. It will take a few minutes for this first bootup...so be patient...eventually if all is OK, you'll see the display calibration screen. Do that and then the display will come back in a 'grayish looking dot pattern' with a little 'X' in the middle, then that will disappear and then the pdaXii13 desktop screen should show up.

[For more info, see 'Installation' section of Meanie's "Zaurus SL-C3000 - customising pdaXrom" document at"

http://www.users.on.net/~hluc/myZaurus/pdaxii13.html

This section has instructions as to how to flash your Zaurus and what order to do the steps of upgrading to pdaXii13.]


That's it!

 

Hello ArchiMax,
I´m also a 3200 user. Can you please write a detailled description, what you have done and which files you used. The name of the file or even the version nummer is required. It seems, that you can run Pdaxii13.
A step by step procedure will be the best.

Until know I have everything done like it was decribed on the tyrannozaurus page, but the upgrade of the kernel will not work. I see only a blue screen. The whole description what I have done is on the tyrannozaurus homepage. You can find everything under the same user name.

Again, a detailled description for 3200er user will be nice. Thanks for your help.

Hello ArchiMax,
I´m not sure hoe you have done an update to your Zaurus, but your procedure is ot working for my SL-C3200.

1.) I installed PdaXrom Beta 3 on it and it is working fine.
2.) Download of all  requested files from Meanies Homepage (updater.sh (v0.23), updater-tools.bin, ... from the 5.2 alpha testpage). I hope this was correct.
3.) Followed by step A, B, C and D like you described above.
4.) Finally the Zaurus was starting to reboot, but after some minutes he stopped for some seconds and than I got a scrolling window with a lot of messages and it was stopped after 10 ... 15 minutes with a short message "Kernel panic".

It means for me something went wrong. Are there maybe different versions available for updater.sh (v0.23) and updater-tools.bin? Somewhere in the threats I have seen also, that some users renamed the old zimage.bin from PdaXrom Beta 3 into zImage-2.4.20.bin to use it as a replacement for Meanies file.

Also Meanies homepage gave no solution where he mentioned, to do the recommented partition first.

After installation of PdaXrom Beta 3 should I do a recommented repartition first or not???

Maybe there is somebody with an idea to do it and of course with a long long detailled
description.

Thanks for your understanding. Maybe Meanie should implement for all Zaurus models a detailled description to installed his OS.

Best regards,
Romulus703x

Hi Ling,

So far, pdaXii13 v5.2 works great on my 3200.

Haven't found any problems yet....

My Ambicom wifi card works, Dillo, Firefox, Gnumeric works, and other apps I've tried, my 2GB CF and my 4GB SD card works, suspend works too!

 

HTH,

Mark

Meanie/psycoman/others. It has been awhile since any of the testers provided any feedback as to the current state of pdaXii13 on the 3200. How is it coming?
