New To The Sl-5500

[phendric]

Hi everyone,

Let me preface what I say by saying that I don't have experience with Linux - I just bought a refurbished SL-5500 off of Ebay, and this is my first experience with the operating system.

Having said that, I'm having problems flashing OZ + GPE to my Zaurus.  I have a card reader, and bought a 128 MB Sandisk CF card.  I copied the kernal and the GPE image over to the blank card, renaming them 'zImage' and 'initrd.bin', respectively.

I then put the CF card in the Zaurus, removed the battery cover, held what I thought was the C and D buttons (the one showing a menu, and the one with the envelope printed on it - I assume those are what are referred to as C and D, right?), and pushed the full reset button with the tip of my stylus.

Nothing happened.  I looked at the front of the device, and the yellow charging LED came on for 5-10 seconds and then went off again.  The green mail LED did not light up at all.  I thought maybe the button combination was wrong, so I tried using every 2-button combination (with the exception of the 4-way pad) that I could, but still nothing.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Phillip

Edit:  I didn't realize the 'C' and 'D' refer to the letters on the keyboard.  The unit is currently flashing

You are holding the wrong buttons. Don't hold any of the big buttons outside. Open the keyboard and actually hold the keys marked "c" and "d".

Thanks for the pointer.  I forgot that this unit has a keyboard, which is the reason I got it in the first place
