My SL5000D after flash ROM,can help?

[nequiem]

It looks like /dev/mtdblock1 was not formated to be ext2.  Try booting up to the Repiers Fs prompt and running mke2fs /dev/mtdblock1, after that try mounting it somewhere.  Hope this helps.

How do you get to this prompt? I don't know about Repiers, but do you mean ReiserFS? I have a C750 now, but I'd like to give reviving the old 5500 a try.

"Repiers Fs" is a spelling error. JP means RepairFS# prompt.  The following worked for me on the 5500:

Put 3.10 OSPACK on CF card and flash Z.
When lights go out, press reset once. Put in "Normal Operation" mode.
Turn on Z. You will get errors e.g. "Couldn't find ext2 superblock, trying backup blocks... "
Eventually, you will see the RepairFS# prompt.
Type mke2fs /dev/mtdblock1

You will get the errors:

ERROR: /usr/share/etc/launch.conf -- cannot open file
ERROR: launch.conf -- cannot open file
/sbin/launch: launch.conf not found
INIT: ID "ln" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes.
 
Turn off Z. Put in "Replace Battery" and Hit reset button.
Put in "Normal Operation".

Some more errors scroll by -- fixing blocks. Eventually you get RunLevel 5.

Hope this works for you.

Did anyone ever get this problem to work? The above solution isn't possible cuz the zaurus doesnt even finish the flash! It gives the error right when the lights are turned off and doesn't let u reset cuz it spits out that whole error message. I have the same deal. I think the problem might be internally with maybe the sd card connection. Not sure though. What to you guys think

You have also tried flashing from a different CF card, right?

When the lights go off, the flash is finished. Do not turn the unit on. Hit the reset button. Close the cover. Wait a few seconds until the battery light comes on.  Turn on the Z.  Let the errors scroll by. Follow the RepairFS# instructions.

Thats the thing. When I do the flash, it turns of the 2 led lights and turns on by itself!! Like I dont press reset or the on button or anything at all. It turns on with that error message and poof, I can't do anything more. What's the deal? THanks for your help
