C1000/3x00 Hardware / Usb Ethernet/wifi/thumbdrives With C3200

« on: March 19, 2008, 07:52:51 pm »

I find with my dm9601 under 2.6 that whenever I plug it in I need to do a "ifconfig eth0 down; ifconfig eth0 up" before it will bring the link up properly...

General Discussion / (bad) News From Sharp

We've known Sharp has been completely disinterested in the Z for a couple of years now; people either stopped holding their breath long ago or they stopped needing to breathe

Brisbane / 4 Zaurus Owners At Humbug

Yeah, colour me surprised - I hadn't seen anyone else here in Brisbane with a Z before... and all of a sudden there's 3 of them XD

Debian / So Close To Debian/pdaxii13 Dual Boot!

« on: March 06, 2008, 07:06:12 am »

Sure, if your NAND partitioning is just right - see that "*exactly 53MB*" bit in your instructions? I didn't want to wipe out my existing pdaXii13 install and start from scratch with split partitions just to satisfy that restriction.

For Sale / Wanted / Found: Picsel Browser For Zaurus

Whereas I'd objdump it, find the "insert valid card" message and work backwards to find where it was triggered. Then nop that bit out.

The chances that undocumented tricks were used keep it wedded to the card are super high since Panasonic is one of the co-creators of the SD tech.

Any such shenanigans would have to directly access the PXA270 sd controller (which is nicely documented and limited to a few memory-mapped registers) so they'd stick out like a sore thumb...

Debian / So Close To Debian/pdaxii13 Dual Boot!

Success! I grabbed evilJazz's kernel source tarball (which is unbelievably easy to use) and modified it to use my NAND layout. Kexec'ing now works perfectly!

Off Topic forum / Best Optical Illusions ! :d

It might not be spam yet, but it's exceedingly odd for a person's first post here to be this off-topic.

Debian / Dualbooting/multiplebooting With Kexec!

« on: March 01, 2008, 06:47:54 pm »

You're essentially doing a "kexec -f" when switching to pdaXrom, which isn't ideal as debian doesn't get properly shut down first. The correct method is to edit /etc/init.d/reboot and add kexec -e just before /sbin/reboot. Then the pdaXrom boot procedure changes to:

Code: [Select]

kexec -l PDAXROMIMAGE
rebootDebian will shut down, and the system will restart into pdaXrom.


When I get a 2.4 kernel compilation toolchain set up I'll be building a pdaXrom kernel image without the 53MB /root limitation on kexec - I don't want to lose my original pdaXrom setup

6000 - Tosa / Fast (tetsuized?) Kernel For Sharp Rom

Ignore those particular "scary errors", nothing is actually wrong. If you search the forum I'm pretty sure I've explained why about ten times already

That post by Sheryl22 smells rather strongly of spam, I hope you realise

Do you have the CD that came with your Z? Pretty sure absolutely everything is on it - that was the case with my 3100.

Just remember you won't be able to use any SDHC cards under Cacko... but my 16GB SDHC card works great in debian!

Sharp ROMs / Sharp Rom 1.02

« on: February 17, 2008, 03:29:22 am »

Instructions are available here: http://figlabs.com/restore/

Since you're only running pdaxii13 then you should be able to flash straight to Cacko without doing that. Either way, remember to restore your HD first using the instructions in the SLC3100SYSPART.zip file from Trisoft.
