Is Debian For Me?

[band-aid]

I'm using the rootfs from https://www.oesf.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=25029. I believe its one you made or had a part in making. I'd rather use this one than a stock one because it already has the sound and other things configured.

If I do depmod -a before I modprobe the modules it still panicks


I have my card configured in /etc/network/interfaces to the best of my abilities.

Code: [Select]

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

allow-hotplug eth3
      iface eth3 inet dhcp
      wireless-essid XXXXXXXX
      wireless-key XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
      wireless-mode managed
I'm not familiar with /etc/hosts or resolv.conf as these are usually set up for me   .

Can you post the dmesg output when you plug in the card?

Code: [Select]

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

Here is my dmesg output when inserting the card:

pccard: PCMCIA card inserted into slot 1
pcmcia: registering new device pcmcia1.0
pcmcia: request for exclusive IRQ could not be fulfilled.
pcmcia: the driver needs updating to supported shared IRQ lines.
eth0: Hardware identity xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx
eth0: Station identity  xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx
eth0: Firmware determined as Intersil 1.8.0
eth0: Ad-hoc demo mode supported
eth0: IEEE standard IBSS ad-hoc mode supported
eth0: WEP supported, 104-bit key
eth0: MAC address xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
eth0: Station name "Prism  I"
eth0: ready
eth0: orinoco_cs at 1.0, irq XXX, io XxXXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXXXX
eth3: New link status: Connected (0001)
ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth3: link becomes ready

This is my /etc/network/interfaces (modified from the sample in my rootfs tarball):

auto eth3
#  iface eth0 inet dhcp
allow-hotplug eth3
iface eth3 inet static
   address 192.168.0.XXX
   network 192.168.0.0
   netmask 255.255.255.0
   broadcast 192.168.0.255
   gateway 192.168.0.X
   wireless-essid (WHATEVER)
   wireless-key (WHATEVER)
   wireless-mode managed
   dns-nameservers 192.168.0.X

And this is my /etc/hosts (already provided in my rootfs tarball):

127.0.0.1   localhost.localdomain localhost Zaurus

And my /etc/resolv.conf:

nameserver 192.168.0.X

(i.e. same address as the router and nameserver in /etc/network/interfaces)

It probably has something to do with my firmware being so much older than yours. I need to get ahold of a CF to PCMCIA adapter that way I can flash mine up to 1.7.4 or something close to that. I tried just loading orinoco_cs and inserting the card. It looked like it was going to work but it panicked after about 3 minutes. Oh well, maybe I'll try to switch back to a stock rootfs if I can ever get Uboot to correctly recognize my internal drive in such a way that it will let me format it.

EDIT: I've got your newer rootfs downloading and I figured I'd go ahead and format. fdisk keeps segfaulting whenever I try to touch /dev/hda. Now I remember why I dropped pdaxrom way back when. I can't stand this uboot abomination lol.
