Upgrading From Last Pdaxrom To Zubuntu Problems

[stoker]

Hello,

I have a zaurus 3100 with last version of pdaxrom ( 1.1.0r198 for Zaurus C1000, C3100/C3200) and I try to update  to Zubuntu 1.0 RC1 but update not work


I delete all files from SD, copy files from Zubutu in SD and follow instructions from zubutu web page

Code: [Select]

1. Download the kernel for your device from one of the options below, and put the kernel together with the generic updater.sh onto a FAT formatted SD memory card. You can check the integrity of the downloaded files with the md5sum command. The checksum should match the hash value on the right. Make sure there isn't floating an initrd.bin file around on the SD card!

  # SL-C3000, SL-C3100 and SL-C3200
        MD5: cd016351fa274668341d6eea9f133a64
  # SL-C1000
        MD5: 2000ec7b019750ee280150f3ad8a73c8
  # SL-C700, SL-C750, SL-C760, SL-C860
        MD5: 6d4437c6cd6cb9335a1780ee0f0e922d


2. Remove battery and power adapter cable
3. Wait for 5 seconds
4. Replace battery, close and lock battery cover
5. Attach power adapter cable
6. Keep OK button pressed while pressing on/off switch
7. From the Japanese menu, choose option 4 (Update), then 2 (SD) and finally Y
but start the pdaxrom emergency system, not have a Japanese menu

thanks for your help!!

It looks like you're using uboot, which can overwrite the sharp bootloader. If so, download a NAND backup (trisoft has one), remove battery, remove external power, press (and keep holding down) Fn+D+M and insert the external power (while still holding down Fn+D+M). Then finally restore the NAND using the downloaded backup.

If you've done that, you've restored your device to factory default and the procedure should work as described.

The cure-all thread!

It says the same thing, but in different words

thanks cortez, your zubuntu works fine...

how I install a pdaXrom-1.1.0r198-Kathrin-akita-current in same SD?
I have 3 partitions and one swap in my SD (2Gb)

The pdaXrom-1.1.0r198-Kathrin-akita-current have 3 files:
-rw-r--r-- 1 saba saba  723 2007-03-27 15:38 autoboot.sh
-rw-r--r-- 1 saba saba 1,3M 2007-04-13 01:43 kernel.img
-rw-r--r-- 1 saba saba  46M 2007-04-13 01:43 rootfs.img

create boot directory in root partition
rename rootfs.img  to zImage.bin and copy to /boot dir
Create a file named kernel-cmdline containing the kernel startup command line
   
what is kernel startup command line ?
