Pdaxrom 1.1.0beta 4 And New Bootloader

[Reaper]

I've been working on getting the beta4 to work on my c3k for the past couple days now, and I still can't get the emergency system to boot (Bootup emergency system from http://mail.pdaxrom.org/node/78)  I'm sure that I've got the correct u-boot installing, and the orange and green lights come on for about ~14 seconds, so that seems ok, but then when I put the pdaXrom files on my CF card, put that in my Z,  and do the 'ON" + POWER, I get nothing... nada.

I've seen most people having problems like this with their c1k, but few to none with a c3k.  Am I missing something?  is it my Z?  Any ideas?

Thanks!

Well, it's quite complicated task to get Beta4 running on C3K. ThC is working on it now, but, IMHO, the best (and long-lasting!  ) solution is to upgrade NAND to 128 Mb, making your С3000 a snow-white C3100. For now, we aren't going to deploy "C3000 NAND upgrade factory", but who knows...

on my C1000 i have seen this bug:

1. if i put and release my various sd without click on the applet card for unmount.... the Z freeze...

2. the subpanel of the fbpanel was too long, le icons go out of the screen...

3. When i close X, in my console the key "a" dosn't work right, i press it but don't write.

I installed this (latest) version Beta4 on my C860 and after going through some install-problems I got it running.
After installation of the new U-Boot I thought my Z was bricked or at least I couldn't find a way to get it started. CD Keys just gave blinking led and MD didn't work anymore (they still don't). The easy solution to just remove the battery, unplug power, hold OK and insert the battery I gladly found somwhere.
Now, that I have it running, I detected some problems. The most annoying one is the issue with the keys. Ctrl and Alt keys both don't work, mouse buttons do not work, backlight increase and decrease do not work. Looks like a major problem with all special keys. Any solution so far?

Apart from that it looks great and it seems to me that it is faster. My 1GB SD card with Ext2 fs was not recognised in the first place, I had to unplug and plug it several times but now it works.

The package-manager starts up with no options in "Install on", the first install fills the list but this first install fails and has to be redone.

After exit from X the a-key doesn't work anymore, so you can't type "startx" after that. You can get around this by just typing "!!" which repeats the previous startx.

The sound doesn't work on my C860. XMMS runs fine without sound  the mixer starts but unable to increase volume, same with the volume applet in the taskbar.
