Dual boot is working now after some hiccups. only catch is, sharp qtopia rom doesnt boot now without an sd card in the slot. Anyone knows why?

Sounds like you didn't copy telinit to /bin/sys and rename it to init. Assuming you are using the scripts I wrote for the Cxx0.

That was the problem I had when I was having trouble getting this it work.

Thanks a lot. I managed to reboot into qtopia without another SD card in the slot, but there is another problem. Is hard reset necessary each time from pdax to qtopia?

You can either do a hard reset or run reboot from the pdaX console to reboot. This was one of the things that annoyed me the most about the dual booting - now I'm trying to get pdaX to run under X/Qt in chroot as debian pocket workstation does.

Lots of seg faults at the moment while I try to find missing libraries etc.

Thanx once again. There is one small hassle, everytime i get back to Qtopia, the system clock needs to be adjusted.Each time i set it to JST, as I live in Sapporo,the clock gets 15 hours behind or so. It is no big problem actually...
BTW, Stu, I used your English Coversion script and i dont remember any other time things went as smoothly when trying out different things with the Z.

Yeah, every time you reboot qtopia you have to go through the time reset thing. I rember trying to bypass this in the past, but gave up cause I couldn't get it ot stop asking me to set the time.

Looks like your pdax is set to -6 GMT (cause JST is +9 and you are losing 15 hours) if you set the pdax to JST too then your clock should keep the write time. When the computer shutsdown or reboots in linux it saves the current time to the hardware clock to make sure things stay relatively synchronized - if you change time zones then the time changes and the hardware clock is set back 15 hours, when linux boots it reads back from the hardware clock and sets the system time.

Glad the script worked for you
