Problems with 3.3.6-pre1. Can't resume my Zaurus!!

[oxstone]

Hello! I use:
- Sharp Zaurus SL5500
- Opie 1.1.4
- kernel 2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix-021129
- OpenZaurus 3.3.6-pre1
I downloaded the ROM from http://www.hentges.net/misc/openzaurus/oz3...opie1.1.4.shtml

I have the following problems:
- the backlight button does not work. I can turn backlight off, but I can't put it on.
- the keyboard is a qwertz layout
- WORST of all: I can't resume my Zaurus after a suspend! I have to push the "replace button" at the back of the PDA and restart it! That's really annoying!

Are those problems already known? I really would like to be able to resume my Zaurus! Could I solve some of those problems?
The / partition is installed on my 256Mb SD card (Kingston brand, made in Taiwan). I followed the instructions given there:
http://openembedded.org/oe_wiki/index.php/...ot%20filesystem

I'm however quite happy with this ROM!

Thanks for the help...
Nicolas.

Hi,
this is a little bit strange, since you are the first one who cant resume. The localization is german out of the box, so you have to play a little bit with keyz.
For the resume problem, that is not normal on this rom, please make sure:
1) that the kernel is also the newest one from hentges.net
2) check the md5 after download on your harddisk
3) check the md5 after copying files to the CF for flash.

For moving to SD card, this configuration works for me on the hentges rom:
1) http://linux-migration.com/ch05s10s05s02.html
2) http://linux-migration.com/ch05s10s05s03.html
3) http://linux-migration.com/ch05s10s05s04.html
4) This one needs a change:
http://linux-migration.com/ch05s10s05s05.html

Change:
for d in local share; do
To:
for d in share; do

(There is no /usr/local)

I hope this helps,
Cheers,
Sam

I remember I checked md5 before flashing... I've read somewhere that flashing with the "latest" sharp rom and then reflashing with the oz rom could solve some problems. Even if I think that'd be very strange if it solves the problem, I'll give it a try.

Hi,
I dont think you problem is so deep, that you need flash OSPACK.

I have the resume thing sometimes, when I try gpe images. Thats nothing to be worried about.
I think your problem is caused by moving rood to sd, since the hentges rom is somehow a little bit different as the rom the OE howto refers to.

I think you should just try to reflash with the newest hentges rom and the newest OE Kernel from hentges, then move to SD as mentioned aboved.

Again dont worry, try this first, before you think about that OSPACK.
Cheers,
Sam

OK. I'll reflash and follow the instructions given in the pages you indicate. I'll come back here later to tell what the result is.
Thanks.

I just did this ROM without any isssues.  Perhaps just need to flash again.

I did the 40.24 Kern.

- the backlight button does not work. I can turn backlight off, but I can't put it on.

Please remove zkbapplet if you do not need a german keyboard layout.
A work-around is to press any other button first, then press the light button.

This is a known bug of zkbapplet.

- the keyboard is a qwertz layout

See above. Just uninstall zkbapplet

- WORST of all: I can't resume my Zaurus after a suspend! I have to push the "replace button" at the back of the PDA and restart it! That's really annoying!

Please check if you have opie-wirelessapplet installed. If so, remove ít and try again.
This was a known problem for Opie 1.1.3. Maybe the applet is broken in 1.1.4, too.

Thanks to all of you! All of the problems I had with my Zaurus are now solved!
- backlight button not working: removed zkbapplet
- qwertz keyboard layout: removed zkbapplet
- resume not working: modified /etc/fstab correctly
