collie and kernel from 3.5.3 upgrades

[tombraider]

Uf, still experimenting with roms!

1- flash 3.5.2, ALL ok BUT no windows sync soft works (original cd or last intellisync from 3.13). So I get KA/PI KO/PI with PI-Sync, its a little troublesome to get it working but it finally runs fine, just it gets much memory and takes a big loadtime. Is there an intelliSync/Qtopia soft that works with 3.5.2 ?

2- flash Hentges rom, and again the suspend problem, but not so frecuently, and now the clock don't reset, but keeps the time where it freezes. I just don't understand. Is there a procedure or configuration to avoid the problem? (its just software I presume).

Arrgh I like more the opie PIM than KO/PI   

Salute la barra!

You can use Qtopia 1.7,  a free download, to sync.  I use it wirelessly to sync with the opie PIM and Outlook.

It appears that the 64/0 r21 kernel does NOT work with the stock GPE initrd.

Any ideas?

Did you upgrade the kernel modules as specified in hrw's link to oz.org?

I posted this on the main page and forgot to post it here...
Yep I upgraded the modules at least did a "ipkg upgrade"...
here's the long story...

This kernel does not seem to work for GPE…
I did the following:
- reflashed 3.5.3 stock gpe and kernel
- booted, configured USB, setup upgrades(+ all other) feed on my laptop
- ipkg update
- ipkg upgrade
both of these appeared to work fine
- deleted all files off of my CF
- copied zImage-collie-64-0-r21.bin to my CF as zImage
- reflashed
- rebooted
=> this leaves me with the GPE banner screen and does NOT boot
the system does not respond to fn-c or calendar-c

Does anyone have any suggestions for gpe?

oh how I wish opie ran on dietX11

[bsaunder2002]

ok, I now have a working kernel.

l0nst3r compiled a 64/0 SL-5500 kernel for me that works with the stock gpe initrd.bin, doesn't have the right arrow suspend bug, and seems to suspend/resume almost perfectly...

If someone figured out how to get r21 working with the gpe initrd then please let me know.

Otherwise, if you wanna gpe with 3.5.3 and not have a lot of bugs...I have the kernel for you.  I'll post it somewhere if someone lets me know where...somehow.

Aaargh, I'm sure I posted somewhere saying that I'd get 'round to upgrading, but I can't for the life of me find that post.

Anyway, I upgraded my collie to 3.5.3 and saw the suspend issue, then I added the upgrades/collie feed as a new feed, commented out all of the others (to ensure that only the kernel modules would be upgraded), did 'ipkg update && ipkg upgrade', flashed the new kernel and it all works perfectly.

That was with an opie image, I'll grab a GPE image and see how that goes next,

Anyway, this is just a post to say that it does work ,

I am trying to get rid of suspend issues that have started to occur after installing OZ 3.5.3 on my SL-5500. Using 64-0 config, with /home and /opt pointing to /media/card/home and /media/card/opt respectively.

Trying to fix:
1. Sometimes, Z resumes, but keyboard freezes. Am not able to suspend / shutdown Z. An attempt to do so freezes the PDA.
2. Upon semi-hard reboot (Change battery / Normal Operation), Z comes up, but loses date information. Everything gets reset to Aug 8th 2005, 8 am (or something like that)

Issue Synopsis: Flashing seems to do nothing. The kernel version still remains the same.

Details:
Following instructions from http://openzaurus.org/wordpress/2005/07/27...rnel-on-collie/ Here is the exact set of steps I followed:

add upgrades/collie into ipkg.conf
run ipkg update;ipkg upgrade to get r21 kernel modules installed

Code: [Select]

copy r21 kernel from “upgrades/collie” into CF card and flash it (ONLY kernel)

Code: [Select]

agautam@GentooDesktop ~/OZ/3.5.3 $ scp zImage root@collie:/media/cf
Heres my flashing procedure:
1. Make sure that the only file I have on CF card is zImage
2. Make sure the CF card is FAT
3. shutdown collie
4. Switch mode to "Change Battery"
5. Remove battery cover.
6. Make sure power is connected
7. Press C D and the internal battery reset button.
.... Both the mail and battery lights light up
.... After approx 10 seconds (I timed it), they both switch off
8. Press the internal battery reset button.
9. Place battery cover back
10. Switch to "Normal Operation"
11. Press and hold Cancel button for a second and release
.... observe collie start ...

After collie starts up, I try to verify the kernel version:

Code: [Select]

root@collie:/media/card/home/root# cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix-3.5.3 (hrw@home) (gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (release)) #1 Thu, 30 Jun 2005 11:18:23 +0200
root@collie:/media/card/home/root# uname -a
Linux collie 2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix #1 Thu, 30 Jun 2005 11:18:23 +0200 armv4l unknown
boot Zaurus and be happy user of OZ 3.5.3 with r21 kernel

Code: [Select]

Would love to be one :)
Any ideas / tips to get the kernel upgraded would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Look again into upgrades/collie directory and show WHEN I build r21 kernel. Then look again into /proc/version and compare both dates.

And next time use proper thread - I will move both posts to correct one.

Thanks for the reply hrw. Appreciated.

Look again into upgrades/collie directory and show WHEN I build r21 kernel. Then look again into /proc/version and compare both dates.

umm... not sure if I understand what you mean. What to look for in upgrades/collie? I can see the new kernel modules and other packages. These got upgraded when with ipkg upgrade.

I do see that the date /proc/version shows, and the timestamp on the r21 kernel at upgrades/collie are the same (june 30, 05). Is that what you meant for me to check?

Do the timestamps being same indicate that the upgrade was sucessful?

And next time use proper thread - I will move both posts to correct one.

In my defense... I did read this thread before posting, but didn't really find much discussion about r21 kernel, so I posted a new post.

Anyway, coming back to the topic...

If the timestamps show that the kernel was infact upgraded, what should I do about the suspend issues that I am facing (relisted below) ? Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

1. Sometimes, Z resumes, but keyboard freezes. Am not able to suspend / shutdown Z. An attempt to do so freezes the PDA.
2. Upon semi-hard reboot (Change battery / Normal Operation), Z comes up, but loses date information. Everything gets reset to Aug 8th 2005, 8 am (or something like that)

1. it's not APM problem but usbnet related modules  "sa1100_bi net_fd usbdcore" are loaded in wrong order - blame Sharp/Lineo
2. rm /etc/timestamp IIRC - collie has RTC, PXA based zauruses does not

What is the correct order?
Can I insmod them in the correct order?

usbdcore
net_fd
sa1100_bi

By default it should work via simple "modprobe sa1100_bi" but this require normal modprobe or patched busybox - I don't remember what was on collie with OZ 3.5.3 but remember that my collie flashed with 3.5.3 had it working.

Hi HRW,

the upgrade worked twice for me, but each time after the upgrade my CF-WLan card stops working!!??!!  

The syslog says:
Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual adress 000e0031

It is an TrendNet TEW-222CF (works normally as Orinoco)
It worked before, as I did the upgrade with it.

Any Ideas
TIA

robbb: remove "orinoco-modules*" and install newer ones from upgrades collie feed. I hope that they will work.

I forgot about them - I rebuilded hostap-modules because I have prism2 based card so it was easy to catch that something does not work. Sorry.
