issue with OZ 3.3.6-pre1 on SL5600

[ced]

I\'ve installed OZ 3.3.6-pre1 on my SL5600. I\'ve never used OZ before so please don\'t flame me...

It look like that I\'ve still have the sharp rom structure in /home

root@openzaurus:/home# ls -l
drwxr-x---   16 root     500             0 Dec 31 19:01 QtPalmtop
drwxrwsr-x   10 root     root            0 Dec 31 19:03 etc

drwx------    7 500      500             0 Sep 22  2003 zaurus

Install procedure:
 - flash the OZ files using a CF card
 - reset
 - format
 - oz install all the packages (202 ipks) and boot opie

Here is my mount devices:

Code: [Select]

/dev/root on / type jffs2 (rw,noatime)

ramfs on /dev type ramfs (rw)

proc on /proc type proc (rw)

devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw)

/dev/mtdblock3 on /home type jffs2 (rw,noatime)

ramfs on /var type ramfs (rw)

I can\'t install anything, I\'ve got ~500K space left on the root partition...

As you have a /home/zaurus directory (which you wouldn\'t have with OZ) I\'d guess that the install hasn\'t gone quite to plan.

I don\'t have a 5600 so I don\'t know how to go about fixing it. Do you have to perform a format of the filespace or something like that?

I\'ve no idea.

I\'ve looked the openzaurus mail list archives and I\'ve found this:

/etc/ipkg.conf -] replace /mnt/ram to /home
/usr/sbin/ipkg-link -] replace /mnt/ram to /home

and I\'ve done:

Code: [Select]

cd /home

rm -rf *

do I need to do something else?

For now, OpenZaurus for C7x0 and 5600 doesn\'t touch the 2nd flash partition. You can do with it whatever you want. We only flash the first one.

Wouldn\'t the format clean the partitions before installing oz? I would think it should?

Also.. this is interesting as I have sl-5600 and I\'m ready to install opern zaurus for first time instead of sharp roms. Is 3.3.6 viable instead of 3.3.5? Hmm.. all ready to go with 3.3.5 and now I find out about a new release . It didnt say it was compatible with sl-5600 though,, any known issues yet?

Thanks

Also, one more question... do you need the updater.sh as well ? SOmeone made mention of this and that it wasnt part of the new rom. Or will oz not need that ?

Tks..

 Well I have same problem on sl-5600. I have 98% used of /  and I have a /home/zaurus too from sharp rom. If it only writes to part of the rom, is there a file writeup or a script that can delete the Sharp files /directories that OZ isnt using? Or a list of the files and directories we should expect to see so we can manually delete those that aren\'t needed?

Thanks
Greg

Was there any resolution to this? I can install things on my SD card of course, but obviously that isn\'t ideal

[refriedChicken]

How can I just dump everything on my Zaurus and reload from scratch?  I want no remnants of apps or other flashes.  Then I will reflash with 3.3.6 and try again.

cd /home

rm -rf *

do I need to do something else?

How did this work out for you?  Did it cause any unwanted problems with OZ?

I moved my /opt directory to the second partition and I didn\'t have any problems with this setup. Basically I did the following:
rm -rf /home/*
cd opt
tar c * | ( cd /home ; tar xvf - )
rm -rf /opt/*

vi /etc/fstab, change /home to /opt
umount /home
mount /opt

restart Opie.
