Can't install IPKs

[mikew]

Posted in other forum to see if anyone can offer some help, withour success, reposting here in the hope that someone can help, perhaps Maslovsky.

I have tried to flash to Cacko 1.21 ROM using 4 separate downloads, all appeared to flash successfully, although I did get the following error message during the ROM install process, on each occasion.

'modprob can't locate module devinfo' (assume device info required by IPK installer)

All the standard apps work, but I can't load new applications, using the installer, even hotfix B failed on 2 of the downloads. It gives 1 of 2 error messages 'ipkg says something went wrong. Sorry' or 'The filename of this package includes characters this application can't handle. Please change the filename and retry install'

Cacko ROM looks good, but I will need to return to Sharp ROM, if I can't resolve the problem, except I can't find the instructions to return, searched forum & how tos.

mikew,

Can't help with the Cacko as I use the standard Sharp ROM, but if you do decide to 'go back', you'll need to go the Sharp site to download the ROM you want to return to.  You'll need to follow the instructions for flashing from a cf/sd card I believe.

Hope that helps.

I got this error too iirc, it doesn't stop you installing stuff.

Try using ipkg from the command line so that you can get a bit more info on what went wrong.
