Kernel 2.6.22

[ZDevil]

Boot into the rescue mode, mount the hard-drive, create a tarbal of everything on /dev/hda1 (please ?  )

Actually there is one: the hddrootfs.tar.gz (rename to hdimage1.tgz before flashing) at http://www.bigbridgezau.sakura.ne.jp/dev/debian/ . It has both 2.6.17 and 2.6.20 kernel modules and Etch base system.

I flashed the new kernel 2.6.22 and before I changed the modules but now is in kernel panic

Thanks again.  I've installed the whole thing (twice ... ) today. Will follow the 7-steps-for-the-faint-of-heart after work tonight.

1) Flash titchy (2.6.20 kernel)
2) Install zaurus-hardware-support (containing kernel modules for 2.6.20)
3) Install X and the rest of the basic stuff
4) Copy the module kernels from the 2.6.22 image to /lib/modules
5) Flash the 2.6.22 kernel
6) apt-get dist-upgrade (to Lenny)
7) Plug in the card and play!  (hopefully)

hmm i think i'll have to do this again because i no longer succeed in login to X with non-root user

Easy. Flash back to 2.6.20 (use the zImage-2.6.20-cpufreq.bin in the japense site) first. Then copy the 2.6.22 modules. Finally flash the 2.6.22 kernel again.

I did how you said.I copied modules 2.6.22 in /lib/modules and then I flashed with zimage 2.6.22 but The result was the kernel panic.how to flash a newer kernel without problem?

Perhaps the downloaded copy is corrupted? Will it do to try a new download (avoid using speed downloaders)?  I didn't have any issue flashing the new kernel.
Also: to me downloading directly to an SD sometimes corrupt the copy. Downloading it first to a desktop/laptop and then transferring it to the SD card works much better.

wich updater.sh I have to use?I tried angstrom updater and titchy updater but is the same

I have to install titchy by apt-get install titchy or only X and then dist upgrade?because dist-upgrade would to remove titchy

wich updater.sh I have to use?I tried angstrom updater and titchy updater but is the same

As i said before it is always safer to use the updater.sh from the same download location as the kernel image. Fusion cuisine can be very exotic.

(Just like the Asian "Wok" thingies everywhere which is nowhere close to my native menu.)

[zeroc87]

but if I use the angstrom updater.sh  It format the hardrive and kernel panic

[ZDevil]

Strange. It shouldn't format the hard drive unless you put the big tarball alongside updater.sh and zimage.bin.  
Just the updater.sh and the zImage.bin (= kernel) won't do anything special to the disk, iirc.  (But others plz point it out if i am wrong)

Correcting myself: the titchy updater.sh does reformat the driver automatically, which is not supposed to do so (at least it should ask first for confirmation) ...

My Z is still dist-upgrading. Will try flashing 2.6.22 and see if it will bring me any surprise.

[zeroc87]

if you do dist-upgrading the apt-get doesn't remove the titchy?I tried and it do this

[ZDevil]

The "titchy" package is not anything special but a big collection of X and gnome stuff. The zaurus-hardware-support.deb is basically the kernel modules (for 2.6.20) plus some system configs and scripts.

What does dmesg tell you when you insert the card ?

asus wl110 dmesg:

pccard: PCMCIA card inserted into slot 1
pccard: registered new device pcmcia1.0

then nothing more....

That's exactly what I got for my Ambicom card after I dist-upgrading to Lenny with both the 2.6.17 and 2.6.22 kernels. And pccardctl (or cardctl before Lenny) shows that the card is not bound to any driver.
