Zaurus 5500 with openzaurus flash problem
« on: June 09, 2004, 04:08:54 pm »
When I ues my CF card to flash it, everything works until I try the first boot. All I get is the sharp Logo and a little blinking dot at the bottom, no words, numbers or anything appears. I let it continue but It eventually shuts off. I tried OZ 3.2 and 3.3.5, both resulted in this. I have a 128mb dane-elect CF card, never formatted the zimage is 32/32

This means the kernel hasn\'t flashed correctly.

Check the md5sums. Then try reformatting the card if they are okay.
C750 OZ3.5.4 (GPE, 2.6.x kernel)
SL5500 OZ3.5.4 (Opie)
Nokia 770
Serial GPS, WCF-12, Socket Ethernet & BT, Ratoc USB
WinXP, Mandriva

Sharp Logo means you didn\'t flash the kernel. Probably your windows hides an extension or so. It has to be zImage, not zimage.foo nor zimage.bar.
