It looks like the nightly process that rebuilds the image was running out of disk space.  I've moved it to a bigger disk, and a new image is being built now.
now it works, thanks

Well I downloaded it, booted from haret run in and now it does the following

Booting Debian GNU/Linux...
Unpacking base packages. This will take a while, but only needs to be done once.

Your card is messed up. mkfs.ext2 it again and try once more. It happened to me too a couple of times.

If it doesn't go through, throw the card in the garbage and buy a new one.

We might be able to locate the problem and find a way around it.  If you mount the card on your PC, which of the following files exist?
bin/busybox
usr/bin/dpkg
sbin/runlevel

again, same problem as me, we could share an account on this forum  
i've tried with two sdcards too.

@Datachief
usr/bin/dpkg and sbin/runlevel are missing in both of the generated images (and on sdcard too).
yesterday's image md5sum: fd6ea69a2cccc89f7771fa4c2580ec76
today's image md5su: ae62e00379490d555471e41c28695391

thanks

You can use my rootfs found at http://sumoudou.org/index.php?cmd=%E7%9B%B...the%20Universal if you don't want to mess with its extraction etc.

It's based on the datathief's rootfs, changed to sid dist, expanded, set-up, updated as of 2008-05-07 and X all set up and ready to go.

I have also created other rootfses, one just expanded bare datathiefs, others with different apps set up, all updated to the current status etc. I'll be posting them later, but for now, the one above runs fine. You just need to aptitude full-upgrade.

you could try this  http://sumoudou.org/index.php?cmd=%E7%9B%B...SB%20connection ,
but instead of the aptitude part write

allow hotplug usb0
iface usb0 inet static
   address 192.168.0.2
   netmask 255.255.255.0
   network 192.168.0.0
   broadcast 192.168.0.255
   gateway 192.168.0.1

in the /etc/network/interfaces on the universal.
boot titchy while the universal is already connected to the pc or it could be possible that the pc will not load the correct modules, see my posts in the previous page.
please, can you test if you get the cdc_subset, cdc_ether and zaurus modules loaded if titchy has been booted while uni was disconnected from pc?

i did not understand what's the matter with x, could you explain your problem in a better way?

So, the discussion at xda-developers resulted in a successful patch of the kernel, and it now suspends/resumes the 128mb RAM upgraded Universal fine.

After a day of tests, I can state that the 128MB upgrade is a significant improvement. I can now run emacs alongside conkeror (significantly improved firefox/iceweasel) without swap, and it runs snappily, great.

No need for swap, and specifically because of this it's snappy, as running with swap due to slow access to the SD card is excruciatingly slow.

I have noticed a significantly greater responsiveness of the Universal and it's really great.

You can get the compiled kernel for 128MB at: http://sumoudou.org/index.php?cmd=%E7%9B%B...the%20Universal where I've put instructions.

Hi all,
is it possible, to you the touch screen as mouse in DirectFB applications, or with gpm? I tried some things, but without any success. I was not even able to find the xorg.conf, to find out how X handles the mouse. The only thing I figured out is that /dev/input/event0 is the device of magic.
My intention is to use a web browser without X (links2 in graphic mode) to save resources.

greetings

Thorsten
