OK, should've looked before I ran this blindly. This is for akita not for spitz.

It seems I have fried my z with this. So I strongly recommend against anyone trying this on the SL-C3200.

I ran the update, uboot told me it's installed then reboot.

And now snap, it's a paperweight.

I can't bring up the D+B or the D+M menu. Can't boot in any other way. It just doesn't come up at all.

Oh no...

From what I've seen before, I've never met a situation where you couldn't bring up the D+M menu. What do I do now?

Anyone have any ideas? Or do I have to send the Z away for service?

I have read somewhere when the D+M menu is overwritten by uboot, you can use Fn+D+M to get the menu that is in ROM (read only memory)
EDIT according to a page I read:

Service Menus D+M Shows service menus with RED title. (Flash memory)
Service Menus Fn+D+M Shows service menus with BLACK title (ROM memory)

OK, thanks for that.

So I flashed the kernel, installed the rootfs, and debian doesn't mount the rootfs upon boot, complains of extra options or whatever.

Oh, and it was rotated sideways on boot )

So back to Angstrom...

However, I was successful in just having the Angstrom kernel flashed and debian rootfs installed, so that might be worth a try...

Though the name is akita, it should work with C1000-C3x00 as stated officially --- at least it works with my C3100. No intended to post blindly.

Yes, that's very true. That's exactly how I revived my 860 after uboot.
So uboot doesn't really fry anything at all.
It's just that most existing documentation don't mention the ROM DM Menu, perhaps just because they don't anticipate there would be uboot available.

Looking forward to seeing how you fare.

I gave up. Too many things that I couldn't get working, the kernel, pccard stuff, touchscreen etc.

Figured no use runnig this debian system on an Angstrom kernel.

But maybe you'll do better.

have you compiled a kernel for 860? If so, could you post it? I have no possibility to crosscompile at the moment, and I'll be glad to install the system on my 860

I saw gnome-session and gnome-core in the feed...  Any chance Gnome will actually run?

5. put the "kernel.img" on it, together with an "autoboot.sh" (don't put anything else in the root of the card).
6. reboot your zaurus, hold the "OK" button, emergency-system will start.
7. when it asks to install the system, say Yes,
8. when it reboots, it will stop cause it has no init-files => put the card with system in it
9. put out the battery (and power), wait 5 secs, insert battery
10. debian boots.
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=159419\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

It seems something missing here:
In step 6, the system reboots (with OK key pressed and with the FAT SD holding kernel.img and autoboot.sh only), but it doesn't go to step 7: no question shows up but simply returns a prompt.
So i simply did a "reboot", the system stops.
Then I "hotswap" the FAT card with the ext3 card with the system.
Nothing happen.
Then I put out AC and battery and reinsert them. Power on.
Nothing happen.

Any clue?

I found one shortcut to reboot 860 in this case: cut off the power supply. press [Fn]+[D]+[M]. Get plug in AC and the DM menu will show up. go to "extra menu" and "reset". This way at least I can boot with the emergency system (with the FAT SD inserted), but no luck without it.

Did you try executing the script manually (/mnt/card/autoboot.sh)?

Thanks. Need to mount SD manually and execute autoboot.sh (this part should be added to the instructions).
The rebooting stops, as Chero says,
but again swap the card, cut off power, reinsert battery.
Nothing happen still.
More hint?
