Release 3.5.1 : CF slot works in GPE but not Opie

[amcclimo]

Mickeyl,

  Don't get me wrong, i'm not trying to thrash the reputation of OpenZaurus, infact i'm all for the progress and effort that people are making and putting in to it.

  I just confirmed again that the images i used were the correct ones for Opie 3.5.1 . I downloaded from this location:

http://www.openzaurus.org/official/unstabl.../sl5000,sl5500/

  These are defintely the files that are on my CF Card when i'm flashing it... which now leads me to believe that it's not being flashed properly...

  I'll take a step back and double check i'm flashing things right... all going well i'll make a final post with a thankyou for your time and an apology for wasting your time =/

Cheers,
Aaron.

Well, don't i feel like the idiot... the zImage file i had appended .bin to the filename... and nobody picked that up from one of my early posts =/

  All is working now, such a simple thing too...

  Thankyou to all who posted, and yes, my appologies for making an issue of my own user error.

Aaron.

Ha! I thought with zImage.bin you'd never get the impression that flashing went OK, so I considered it a typo

My kernel, however, is sept '04. the right one.  I think the issue is a package (one of many I've installed) doing some caching thing or other.

I'd be happy to help w/ 2.6, but I doubt I have any qualifications beyond the ability to break my z and describe how I did.  I certainly can do compiling and stuff like that if it would help?

Unfortunately not, the flash updater also features individual flashing of the initrd.bin and the zImage.
