I'm going to give this a shot on my 3100 also, will report back with the results. *fingers crossed*

EDIT: As soon as the 5.2 finishes upload that is

OK, that did it, Meanie!!!

I've Got pdaXii13 !!!!!

Did see a few error messages during bootup...but after a few minutes I got to the 'Welcome to pdaXii13' message, so figured I was OK and after a bit got to calibration screen, then desktop!

FWIW, here's what appeared to be error messages during bootup (I'm only showing those lines, not the many other lines that seemed OK...):

Code: [Select]

mtd: partition "home" is out of read -- disabled
warning: unable to open an initial console
trying to free non-existent resource 
EXT3-fs: Unrecognized mount option quiet
validate: dirty buffer

HTH,

oh man. this sux.

well, you can do the following:

1. flash pdaXrom beta3 (don't worry about the hdd for now)
2. flash pdaXii13 using the older updater.sh from http://www.tyrannozaurus.com/feed/pdaXii13/files/updater.sh
3. rerun the option to flash kernel and initrd
4. reboot

great you got it working!

Code: [Select]

mtd: partition "home" is out of read -- disabled
This is annoying but ok since you will be using /home on the microdrive.
In theory, you can reformat /dev/mtdblock3 as jffs2 and copy everything from /home to there and mount it as /home so you have /home on nand for those that dont want to waste the space on the nand.

Code: [Select]

warning: unable to open an initial console
This is annoying but harmless

Code: [Select]

trying to free non-existent resource
This is normal. Happens on all distros with 2.4.20 kernels...

Code: [Select]

EXT3-fs: Unrecognized mount option quiet
This is a bit annoying but harmless.

Code: [Select]

validate: dirty buffer
This is C3200 specific and not sure how to fix yet...

Thanks for the explanations, Meanie....appreciate that!

Now, trying to install v5.2 hdimage to avoid suspend problems....

But still having same problem here at work (WinXP & IE6) when I try to download a 'tgz' file it shows the file as a 'tar' file in the 'save file as' dialog window!! That's why I had the problem I noted in an earlier post....

One solution is to download the file later at home on my Mac....
but would be nice to know for future downloads what to do to get XP to stop doing this!!!

Also, Meanie, to install v5.2 hdimage, should I do the whole install procedure again....start with pdaXrom, then pdaXii13....as you describe below?

?

Thanks,

Mark

you can just install the hdimage again without redoing all the rest.

TheWalt · « **Reply #35 on:** January 05, 2007, 08:24:05 pm »

Well after waiting about 12 minutes for initial boot (also have that dirty buffer issue after 'checking battery') it seems I am up and running on a 3100 using the older updater.sh after a standard beta 3 install.

I did try a clean install first with the newer updater.sh but suffered the same kernel issue as ArchiMark did with the 3200. FYI

Definatly willing to test as things progress. Thanks to Meanie and others who helped get things this far along.

ArchiMark · « **Reply #36 on:** January 05, 2007, 10:38:23 pm »

Thanks, Meanie!

OK, got v5.2!!

Just got connected to my wireless network at home with my Ambicom card....

Onward & Upward....

Glad you got it going, TheWalt!!

Don't you wish we could our 'dirty buffers' cleaned already....

thought I'd try 5.2 on my 3100.
did a new flash of beta 3
put the beta 3 kernel in with the pdaxii3 install files... and... I seem to be having trouble connecting to antikx server. the hd image won't seem to come down- all I get is a 24k tgz.

Am i trying to get a file mid update? (7:30 alaska) or is there some network weirness between here and there?

Got my c3100 this morning! It's in perfect condition- I'm very pleased with it! It came with Cacko installed and I wasn't having any of it!

I decided to try ignoring the 'install beta 3' bit and just go straight to installing pdaXii13 as I would on the c3000 but replacing the kernel with beta3 c3100 one. To my surprise it installed without hitch, i just get one error four times whilst booting which says

Unknown flash (not normal NAND)

Straight after it says 'Welcome to pdaXii13 on Sharp Zaurus'

Does this happen to people who installed beta 3 first?

On first boot X started at 640x480 but before the desktop came up it dropped down to QVGA and wouldn't change back to VGA so I rebooted and this time I the desktop stayed at 640x480 but I can't hold down the key next to - and push 1 or 2 to switch resolutions as I can on the c3k.

So what exactly does the b3 installer do that isn't done by the pdaXii13 installer yet? Can I get QVGA working under X without installing beta 3 then re-installing pdaXii13?

That's because you are running pdaXii13 with the Cacko kernel

Meanie/psycoman/others. It has been awhile since any of the testers provided any feedback as to the current state of pdaXii13 on the 3200. How is it coming?

adf · « **Reply #43 on:** January 06, 2007, 03:28:18 pm »

I can"t test --- can"t get complete files from the site. Thus no feedback from my 3100. Sorry.

ArchiMark · « **Reply #44 on:** January 07, 2007, 10:37:03 am »

Hi Ling,

So far, pdaXii13 v5.2 works great on my 3200.

Haven't found any problems yet....

My Ambicom wifi card works, Dillo, Firefox, Gnumeric works, and other apps I've tried, my 2GB CF and my 4GB SD card works, suspend works too!

HTH,

Mark
