Dual Booting Cacko And Pdaxrom
« on: October 13, 2006, 07:33:20 am »
I was trying to dual boot Cacko and pdaXrom on my C1000, but i met with some problem, these are what i did:

1. Put pdaXrom rc12 root file system on SD card, as far as I know, it share same kernel version with Cacko.

2. Boot into Cacko console, not starting qpe, to runlevel 2

3.login as root, mount /proc, mount /dev/pts, then pivot root, exit

and I saw the pdaxrom login prompt

ts_test and ts_calibrate all worked well, but when I startx,

I saw only tool bar at the bottom, program icons doesn't appear, I can start aterm and other programs from the menu, but I cant exit x window

What might be the problem?

Hope I in this way I can switch between pdaxrom and cacko without need to reboot the kernel, I dont know if it's feasible.

I don't think you can, since they use different kernels.
What's this button do??

C3100
Distro changes almost weekly...

C3200
Distro also changes almost weekly...  :)

Hardware hacks and stuff.
