OpenZaurus 3.3.5-rc1 available!

[tapjpa]

Has anyone tried 3.3.5 on the 5600 yet? I just loaded it but after flashing my Z seems to sit at the red Sharp screen forever with the cursor blinking on the lower right hand corner. Already tried redownloading the files (initrd.bin, zImage.bin, updater.sh).  Any insite would be appreciated. I liked to screen shots from jchung of it running on the c700 and would really like to try it on the 5600. By the way I did pull the above files from the poodle link.

did you reset it after flashing ( hard reset.. press the reset button on the back of unit behind battery cover)?

it should show OpenZaurus boot screen

thanks for the clarification lardman... I\'m still finding that 3.3.5 is a bit too unstable on my 760.... I can\'t seem to get the \"Packages\" app (aqpkg) to work correctly, and I can\'t get ipkg to uninstall/instlal aqpkg.  

Not a big deal as it\'s obviously still in testing.  I think I\'ll tinker with a a bit more...

I\'ve been using ipkg and it works fine.. but if you prefer a GUI to it then sorry.. cant help you

Tried the above already, also tried formating after flash as well with no luck.
Anything else? I\'m thinking the flash isn\'t taking.

Well it looks like I got it going at the moment the screen is scrolling by a bunch of packages being installed so this is a good sign.

What I did to get it going:

1. Reflashed to Sharp to make sure it was clean and the Z was still functioning.
2. Replaced Sharp\'s initrd.bin & zImage.bin on the CF card with the OZ files.
3. Reset the Z. Held OK & ON buttons.
4. Choose option 4 on the menu, update.
5. Reset the Z again then choose option 3 from the menu, format.
6. restarted the Z saw the packages installing screen scroll by.
7. Finally got to the \"Tap anywhere on the screen to continue.

At this point the Z isn\'t responding to anything, tried a reset and all that.

So here I sit a little closer than I was.

still very unstable.. it\'s unfortunate..  :?

I really cant wait until this is complete. It looks really great!

"Tap anywhere on the screen to continue"

What should be the possible tricks?

Was your touch screen broken?

Have you tried a reboot (no particular reason but you never know it might fix itself)

Otherwise try a search for something like 'broken screen' there's a way around this problem that I've seen (though it may have been on the devnet).

I think there is nothing wrong with my hardware. Qtopia 1.5 works fine for me.
Maybe "touch screen broken" also means it is not properly drived, but I
don't know how to test that.

I am now trying to start OPIE from the minicom  (on my i386) remotely.
And I can start or stop qtopia successfully.
So I think there must be something different between OPIE and Qtopia??

oops I was thinking there were a new version but just saw the date of the first post in this thread ... sorry ... still waiting for OZ 3.5.1 then ^^
