How To Install

[Dave Smith]

It should be ok.

Have you checked the md5sums of the files you've downloaded?

No. I thought about that but I can't find the md5sums for the files. I've search and looked everywhere in the OpenZaurus site.

I think we may have found the problem. The md5sum for both zImage and initrd.bin are not correct which suggests a poor download. Now there is a potential lesson to be learned here.  

I'll let you know if a fresh download solved the problem.

I should have asked, are you running windows or linux? This is an option in windows that allows you to hide the file extension. The option is located in control panel>folder options>view tab. Then you uncheck the 'hide file extensions for known file types' box. I did this on my windows box at work and It screwed up my flash, because I had inavertently named initrd.bin to initrd.bin.bin. since the last .bin was hidden.  But if you are running linux (as you should be) this could not possibly been your problem.

I presume you found the md5sums: http://www.openzaurus.org/official/unstabl...600/md5sums.txt

Note to others: there's a text file called md5sums.txt in the same directory where you found your initrd.bin and zImage which contains the correct md5sums for all the files in that directory.

Do check them to see that your download completed correctly.

Cheers,

Using FC3. As you will see from a later post the problem has been solved.

At last!!! Well that was the problem. I've done a fresh download and we are up and running.

Yes, I found the md5sums eventually - although searching the site does not get an answer. Maybe there should be a reference to this in the installation notes.

Anyway, thanks to those of you on this list who have put in so much effort to get this little problem fixed. This is what the opensource community is all about
