Oz 3.5.3 On Boxer (c860)
« on: April 13, 2005, 07:56:46 pm »
immeditaly after post flash reboot, OZ hangs during the boot screen.

i performed the following steps:
1. mv updater.sh to /mnt/cf/updater.sh
2. mv opie-image-c7x0-20050411221036.rootfs.img to /mnt/cf/initrd.bin
3. mv zImage-c7x0-20050411221036.bin /mnt/cf/zImage.bin
4. reflash

the blue bar (which i assume is a progress bar) remains mostly blue with a sliver of red on left while cursor blinks in upper left corner.

any ideas?

Try without renaming the images, and if that doesn't work, use the updater from 3.5.2 (with renamed images)

Did you follow the INSTALL instructions? Which blue bar are you talking about? You are not trying to use this from diagnostics menu or are you? I recommend using the standard 'reboot while holding OK' menu.

yep, i followed the INSTALL instructions. the blue bar that appears just after the 'rebooting' message, the one with the girl picture. and yes, the reflash option i used was the OK button while hitting the on button.

hmm, tried both but unfortunately no go.

here's what i see during the flash:

screen 1:
***********************************
<sharp logo with japanese text just below it>
INIT: version 2.78 botting
modprobe: Can't locate module devinfo
INIT: entering runlevel: 5
***********************************
screen 2:
***********************************
--- Zaurus CF updater ---
MODEL:SL-C860
kernel

0%          100%
.......................
Sucess!
RO file system
Flash erasing...done

0%          100%
.......................
Rebooting
INIT: Switching to runlevel: 6
INIT: Sending processes the TERM signal
Rebooting the system....
***********************************
screen3:
***********************************
splash screen which has the picuture of the girl and "
  • OpenZaurus w/ Kernel 2.6
  • " to the right of it with the blue bar running the length of and just below the preceeding text.

***********************************

screen3 is where it hangs. i don't see any informative messages so i can't say where it froze.

hope this helps...

note, this is after using cacko rom which instructed me to repartition the root to 27. would this have anything to do with it?

Possibly, you could try returning it to the original state (which is a 50-50 split I think).

If you have a serial lead, I think info comes out on ttyS0 while the Z's booting, but I may well be wrong about that.

OpenZaurus doesn't work on repartitioned ROMs and we have no plans to change that  atm.

I will add a big fat warning to the release notes now!

Okay, so it's been changed since I tried it (or I just forgot to look).

My mistake

ok, so i'm about to repartition the root. i don't see any way through the service menu so i guess i'll have to use the cacko updater.sh. is setting it to 64 what it was to begin with?

EDIT: gosh, nevermind. cacko's updater had 50 as the default value. thanks.
