As about usb storage I guest you should load modules:
modprobe usb-storage

Zaurus - pdaXrom / 4gb Sd

I'm using 4 GB MMC in SD slot without any problems. Never ever had any problems at all with it, and I do copy a lot of files there all the time.

What kernel/pdaXrom  version you are using?

Well a lot may depend in the card and what you do withy it wht kernel you are using and what hardware you have.

I'm saying this because personally I've experienced odd behaviours on all my SD/MMC that are more than 1Gb ... but not everyone is afflicted by the problems I have ... hence there might be some issues with the card models, the type of data stored in them and how frequently the data is changed and/or the Zaurus model you are using.
Also a lot changes between the 2.4 and 2.6 SD kernel driver and also different models have different hardware (collie was without a SD driver for kernel 2.6 for a lot more time than the Cxx0 and C3x00/1000).

So in my experience I'd say:
"it depends ..."

I have problem with 4G SD card.
First 2G partition work correct.
On second partition (with high blocks) some times FS crash, some times hang PDA.
fsck show that fs is clean. But if I run it with "-f" a lot errors on FS.
Always errors looks  similar
mkfs.ext3 -j hang PDA.
Kernel 2.6.20 - 2.6.21.
May I need to downgrade kernel?

Let me just check this before I make an unwise purchase:  If I buy a 4G SD card but (for the time being at least) restrict my use of it to a partition covering the first 2G, then I should not have any problems?  (To be more accurate, I should not have any problems _in_addition_ to those which I would have had had I bought a 2G card instead?)
...
Don't buy SDHC SD card. Zaurus SD controller doesn't support SDHC.
I'm not sure that all nonSDCH 4G SD card will work correct on Zaurus.
Better test it before buy.

SDHC is software, not hardware.
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=160434\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]
Did you test it on Zaurus. I talk with kernel mmc driver maintainer.
He told me that need hardware support for SDHC.

From debian arm forum:

Subject: Re: Is armel project alive?

There is probably some porting work to be done, before you can get
to xulrunner and the firefox/iceweasel etc. But the project is
going on, not just on armel-debs site. The new packages are arriving:

deb http://ftp.gnuab.org/debian/ sid main
deb http://ftp.gnuab.org/debian/ unreleased main

where "sid" is unmodified packages from, well, sid. unreleased
is includes packages patched for armel (currently attr and apt -
do not fail to install those instead of sid version!)

gnuab repository does not hold binary-all packages, for those
you need a a repository from a mirror close to you.

deb http://ftp.fi.debian.org/debian dists/unstable/main/binary-arm/

Finally, you will want the original armel port repo.

deb http://armel-debs.applieddata.net/debian/ sid main

Notice it will take a few weeks until gnuab repository will catch up
sid, until then it's going to be quite rough ride.

svs57:

Are you using firefox/iceweasel with your debian?

If so, did you build it yourself? I can't find armel firefox package anywhere. I've built firefox for Angstrom in OE, but it segfaults...
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=160247\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]
I also tried Angrstorm's firefox with the same result.
Building firefox from sources failed: shlibsign segfault.
It is also problem for me. I use dillo while havn't firefox.

2. Problem with 4G SD. Suspend/resume destroy FS. It's happen only with SD>2G
any fixes on this? does this only happen on a 4g partition or all 4g cards?
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=160068\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]
Only on second part of 4G SD.
First 2G partition works correct.
"mkfs.ext3 -j" hang on second 2G partition.
If I create it on cardreader it also destroy fs after some times or hang PDA.

If you have pdaXrom installed on NAND you can mount it and get files you need.
mkdir /mnt/nand
mount  -t jffs2 /dev/mtdblock2 /mnt/nand

"/" doesn't work that's why I want to set  loading modules, start sshd and correct keyboard mapping on sd before first boot.
It's really trick.

Also i found the uncompressed module tarball with the kernel dir as "2.6.20.2-corgi". Do i need to rename it to "2.6.20.2"?

Back to Chero's guide again:

8. when it reboots, it will stop cause it has no init-files => put the card with system in it
9. put out the battery (and power), wait 5 secs, insert battery
10. debian boots.

I can get to step 8.
(I can only boot into the emergency system WITHOUT the batter)
When rebooting (first mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt/card; then run /mnt/card/autoboot.sh),
the system does stop and dim a little bit.
Then i take out the FAT card and insert the ext3 card with the system.
And then take out the AC, and wait 5 seconds.
Then I put in the battery.
Press On. Darkness. Nothing ....

Strange. u-boot should start autoboot.sh automaticly.
I use sd with ext3 fs.
Many times i did this without any problems.
Today I compiled 2.6.21 kernel and flash it.

Could someone please explain how I get X running ?

I can boot, set my keymap, get wireless going, apt-get, ... But no X.
I set /proc/sys/kernel/hostname to "zaurus"
installed xorg and icewm
installed angstrom-xserver
did "export DISPLAY=:0" (also tried "export DISPLAY=zaurus:0")

but when I "startx" I get "could not connect to display" or something like that.
What can I do ? Do I need a modified "startx" ?

Chero.
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=159831\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]
