Cacko Rc.rofilesys Help
« on: January 18, 2006, 11:21:06 pm »
After spending a few hours reading all the info on This Page I decided to partition my hard drive to the exact same settings.

So I downloaded rc.rofilesys and followed the directions:

Remount / as RW
replace the old rc.rofilesys in /root/etc/rc.d with this hacked one (after review)
unmounted all partitions
deleted NotAvailable from /hdd1 - /hdd3
created fdisk structure as follows :

Quote
Disk /dev/hda: 4095 MB, 4095737856 bytes
16 heads, 63 sectors/track, 7936 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 = 516096 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 1 256 128992+ 82 Linux swap
/dev/hda2 257 2790 1277136 83 Linux
/dev/hda3 2791 7935 2593080 c Win95 FAT32 (LBA)

mkswap on /dev/hda1
mke2fs -j /dev/hda2
mkfs.vfat -F 32 /dev/hda3

And rebooted....

Swap file activates properly but both /hdd2 and /hdd3 do not mount.  I can do so manually and all seems well (copied some files via usb) but again after reboot no automount.. but also no errors.  I am at a total loss, it should work.. cacko 1.23 full on a SL-C3100.

PLEASE any help is greatly appreciated.... thanks in advance.

That was for the Sharp distro. Cacko is slightly different as discussed here: [a href=\"http://www.users.on.net/~hluc/myZaurus/distros.html#cacko]http://www.users.on.net/~hluc/myZaurus/distros.html#cacko[/url]

You need to keep the NotAvailable files for Cacko
SL-C3000 - pdaXii13 build5.4.9 (based on pdaXrom beta3) / SL-C3100 - Sharp ROM 1.02 JP (heavily customised)

Awesome, that did it.  Thanks very much, this was my third attempt ... once on my own, once with some debian instructions, and now following your excelent guide.  A dontation has been sent via PayPal.

Hopefully now I can start USING my zaurus instead of constantly PLAYING with it
