New cache-errata-free kernel! Thanks, tumnus!
« Reply #30 on: March 14, 2004, 04:14:03 pm »
For those that were able to flash the newer kernerl, can you list what updater file you used?  I\'ve downloaded the zynergy version and tried to flash the kernel as both zImage and zImage.bin.  Another thing I noticed, when I download the kernel windows saves it as a bin file.  So I name it zImage, thinking that the full name is zImage.bin.  But the flash does not recognize the file.  Interestingly, when I unpack the zynergy file, the zImage has no extension.  Windows recognizes it as a file, vice a .bin.

Any help?

I used update.sh from the Sharp 1.32 ROM update.  Tried Zynergy some time ago and while it looked good, a number of things didn\'t seem to work quite right.

Well, that seemed to do the trick, sorta.  I got the thing to appear to update (no progress dots, but it said it was updated and showed the Success! words).

However, now when I cat /proc/version it still says the old kernel info and yamade@yampc.  Thoughts?

Thanks

That\'s not the right kernel then.  Make sure the kernel is named zImage.bin (case-sensitive!) and try again.  You should see progress dots too.

This is the one I downloaded from the download section, said it was ver 1.3: zImage_Special5600_No_Preemptive_No_Overclock-c860ROMv1.10.  Rename to zImage.bin and put on CF with Sharp\'s updater.sh.  Same result as before.  Curiously, when I unzipped Sharp\'s package there was a file called mversion.bin.  Do I need to mess with this?  Nerver had to in the past.

Dunno... that worked for me, but I\'m using the base Sharp ROM too, where you are still using Zynergy?

I haven\'t needed any files other than update.sh and zImage.bin

Well, I fixed the root problem.  It seems that with the Zynergy ROM the updated kernel just wouldn\'t be recognized.  I had to reflash/ reformat Sharp v1.32 and then update the kernel.  Too bad, now I remember why I didn\'t like Sharp all that much in the first place.  Man, is it ugly!  Know of any good appearance changes?  I\'m going to need to start another post for that!

Does anyone know if the tkc roms have the workaround?

OK, that was a STUPID question.  Nevermind.
