Angstrom Installation
« Reply #15 on: August 15, 2006, 06:50:19 pm »
I installed Angstrom successfully on my C1000:

Code: [Select]
mv zImage-2.6.17-akita-20060813164359.bin zImage.bin
mv updater.sh.akita updater.sh
mv Angstrom-gpe-image-test-20060813-akita.rootfs.img initrd.bin

*  I performed a complete system restore from my systc100.dbk file, to ensure that my home folder was wiped and the partitioning was reset.
* Perform a flash update. (hold OK)  - http://jrandomhacker.info/Sharp_Zaurus_SL-C1000/Flash_update

The result is that I get a lot of "out of memory" errors while it boots up.. it takes forever.  I briefly see a login prompt and then I get a black screen.

Presumably I have either used the wrong initrd.bin file, or maybe I have a partitioning issue.

(edit)

Using Angstrom-bootstrap-image-test-20060813-akita.rootfs.img will get me to a basic shell, for which I don't know the user or password.  So I'm on the right track.. I don't know what to do from here though.  The files aren't named intuitively, and the install instructions only vaguely hint at file renaming.

Should I try the summary .img files?  =/
