Sounds like we might see Angstom in Sunday.

i hope you'll help me:
i cannot go any further with angstrom because i'm unable to have my belkin bluetooth cf card to work with it...and i need it to do dialup networking with my phone...

I just tried installing the latest Angstrom test release on my c3100 but I've been unable to get wifi going.

It doesn't like my PLANEX GW-CF11X- dmesg says it is missing the primary firmware. I'm sure people must've requested support for this card in OZ many times before as it seems to be quite popular. Will Angstrom (and OZ) never support these cards for legal reasons? It works fine under pdaXrom and Sharp/cacko.

I've got another CF wifi card which cacko identifies as a 'Senao'- its Prism2 based I think and the light on this CF card blinks when I insert it under Angstrom but choosing Settings/ Network Setup from the GPE menu just shows a clock cursor then nothing happens.

yeah apparently many menu items seem to be phantom... usb settings does the same thing... so no usb - pc link and more important usb host doesn't seem to work (at least my bt usb dongle didn't lit...)
perhaps we should try the angstrom-distro-users mailing list to have more answers to our questions :

This isn't looking promising.  

I'm still in the process of backing up my 3200 MD.  Had trouble finding somewhere with enough space (long story) and I don't have a bluetooth card or adapter so, I won't be much help there.  

I do have three WIFI cards that I will test with:

Symbol Spectrum24
Buffalo AirStation wli2-cf-s11 (Prism 2 or 2.5)
SanDisk Connect Plus (Damn freaky card )

I have had very good experiences with the Buffalo.  The Symbol can be a bit tricky at times but, I usually can get it to work.  I have never gotten the SanDisk to work.

Thanks for the link to the Angstrom mail lists.  While I was waiting for my copy to finish, I found out that jfss2 images on the image are for a Internal flash install on a Spitz model.  I think I try that one instead of the microdrive install.  A pure microdrive install under Hentges was slower for most tasks than Cacko is in internal flash for me.  Also then I don't have repartition my MD which is bonus for me since I have a feeling I may not have a long stopover in Angstrom right now.  I'll keep you posted on my results.

[HoloVector]

So much for that idea.    

That bird blew up on take off.    

After the Flash Updater erases the flash and the kernel starts loading I get a warning then **BOOM** a kernel panic right after it frees up the init memory.

Code: [Select]

Waiting 1sec before mounting root device...
kjournald starting.  Commit interval 5 seconds
EXT3 FS on hda1, internal journal
EXT3-fs: recovery complete.
EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode.
VFS: Mounted root (ext3 filesystem).
Freeing init memory: 80K
Warning: unable to open an initial console.
Kernel panic - not synching: No init found.  Try passing init= option to kernel.
To me it looks like it is trying to mount the root on the MD so the JFFS2 method isn't working the way I expected.  Looks like I need to repartition the MD after all and I'm not going to get a NAND install either.  Crud!  I was hoping to be lazy.

I'm running angstrom too on my c3000 and ,i have the same problem.

No touchscreen => resolved by edit ts.conf
No USB => modprobe ohci-hcd (not loaded at boot)
Most of program in the setting directory doesnt start (when i try that in console i get an error that
the libesd.so.0 library is missing).

I dont see that in the bugtracker , then i don't know if i have done something wrong or if it is a bug.

I have tried to compile angstrom myself with OE but it stop at File-native-4.20 package:

Maybe, i will wait for a new binary release.
Angstrom seems to be really fast on my c3000 and i like that !

Thanks

is it just me or is useability fo oz/angstrom becoming.......less.

It is just you. Because usabiltiy can only be judged by a look at a stable version.
Those images are coming from the unstable branch.
