zaurus 5500 - 3.3.6 pre 1 suspend - resume hangs

[dansawyer]

3.3.6 pre 1 hangs intermittently on a zarurs 5500. It has the hotplug package from 3.2 installed to recognize the USB on hot re-plugs.

Has anyone else had this problem? It seems somewhat dependent on how the on-off key is operated. Most of the time simply switching the battery off will allow a reboot. The last time I had to remove the battery.

Thanks,
Dan

It\'s working fine for me. Any other factors to include - what are you normally doing and running when you try to suspend and get the hang? What kind of hang, screen still on, or won\'t turn back on?

I usually start it in the cradle, USB active, and with a RAM CF card installed. I then suspend it in the cradle and remove it. I will take it to a meeting and over a couple of hours resume, take a few notes, suspend. This has happened 3 or 4 times.

It seem as though it is the second resume that hangs. Yesterday on the reboot it did not recognize the CF card. (Note: I am using a back level hotplug pkg to work around a USB resume problem.)

Yes, I\'m using hotplug from 3.2 stable too.

What\'s this RAM CF card?

I never suspend nor resume in the cradle (for no particular reason), other than that I can\'t suggest anything.

Sorry,

After flashing my Z for the first time in months, I had to go through this process again... it took me a while to remember the solution:

uninstall hotplug
install a 3.2 copy of hotplug to root with -force-overwrite and -force-reinstall for good measure

Now all is happy again in the world.  Hope this helps.

the solution:

uninstall hotplug
install a 3.2 copy of hotplug to root with -force-overwrite and -force-reinstall for good measure

Can I do that from the package manager? (I don\'t think so... I tried 8 times  :x )

Can somebody please post the commands?

And how do I get bash instead of busybox?

And is there an OZ 3.3.6pre1 HowTo anywhere?!?!

[lardman]

Do it from the command line.

ipkg remove <current package name>

Get the package name from \'ipkg list\'

ipkg install -d root --force-overwrite --force-depends <path to new package>

Bash is in busybox, why do you want a separate version?

Ta, Simon.  

Bash is in busybox, why do you want a separate version?

Clearly, I\'m confused. I thought that Busybox was a subset of bash commands. For example,

Code: [Select]

# rm -rv ... complains about unknown options (not just about it being a bad idea  ). I thought that there was a full-blown bash shell someplace that had all the \"real\" options.  

Also, I saw the thread about an OE wiki. Anybody (with half a brain, unlike me) care to join in on an OZ 3.3.6pre1 *user* (not dev) wiki? And who might be willing to host it (my puny DSL is not the place)? I\'ll start a new thread for it, if I get a nibble.
