Problem Flashing Pdaxrom
« on: April 21, 2006, 11:54:36 am »
Hi,

Finally I decided to flush my newly purchased (albait second-hand)
SL-C760 to pdaXrom. But I got serious problems. This is my first
reflashing Z BTW.

I downloaded the official/stable 1.1.0beta1 for 760.

I followed the instructions. First I resized the root partition to the recomended
50MB - flashin RO f/s announced a segmentation fault after 12% !
I then resized the partition to 60MB - the same result.
Next 64MB - now it got to around 66% then it opened an error dialog  and
rebooted (at least some progress).
Finally when I resized the root partition to 72MB it flashed all the way but
hanged up when it should reboot itself (saying that there are no programs
at this runlevel). After rebooting by battery removing I managed to start
Z. After starting X's it opened me twm (grrr.) with a clock and few terminals.
After changing xinitrc I managed to run openbox but again in a twm-like form:
only terminal and a clock no menus, no icons....

Can anyone suggest how to make it work!
I simply want to make it run Maxima and wxMaxima and I'm not much
interested in hacking it all the time...

Thanks in advance,
Przemek

I had/have some similar problems. Try Beta1 (which installs for me) and please post back if you find anything out.

Dear pkoprowski,

try fixing the 64M limit. I used to have similar problem
before.  

It is in nand flash utils, I think.

BR,

Felix.

When I tried that it didn't help me, but maybe pkoprowski will have more luck than I.
