OZ 3.5.1 bugs I've noticed
« on: September 21, 2004, 06:36:58 am »
I should really just get on and try to sort these and submit patches, but I'm busy and my dev box is too slow (waiting for a new computer to arrive :-)) - not good excuses I know, but I wanted to tell someone what I've found.

Anyway here's what I've seen:

Hotplug (I assume) still has issues: This produces the unknown USB device warning on Windows. This can be fixed by reloading the net_fd.o module etc.

Code: [Select]
#!/bin/sh
/sbin/rmmod pxa_bi
/sbin/rmmod net_fd
/sbin/rmmod usbdcore
/sbin/insmod /lib/modules/2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix/kernel/drivers/usb/device/usbdcore.o
/sbin/insmod /lib/modules/2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix/kernel/drivers/usb/device/net_fd/net_fd.o
/sbin/insmod /lib/modules/2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix/kernel/drivers/usb/device/bi/pxa_bi.o

If this also happens with the 5500/5000D then change the references to pxa_bi in the above code to sa_bi and try that

No storage_fd.o module = no mass storage.

I should get around to adding mass storage functionality to the ROM (without having to use scripts) much like what one can do with Cacko and pdaXrom (i.e. with a GUI to select). BTW mass storage also works for the 5500/5000D - just needs a simple kernel patch to make the storage_fd.o module (actually you can even use the pxa storage_fd.o module - so you can cheat in the meantime).

Terminal acts strangely when using vera font - the promt and where you type are a long long way apart.

Terminal needs larger fixed fonts (12 is the current max)

Terminal doesn't close windows when you 'exit' in them.

The clock should default to the build date rather than 1/1/1970 IMHO -> shouldn't be too difficult to change.

Medium mount dialogs which come up before the screen has been calibrated are not too useful; best to take the cards out when you first boot (but a software fix would be good).


Well done to the developers.

Hi lardman,
Thanks for your immediate bug reports. But I could not sync my poodle with win2k box actually the usbd0 seems down. When I have tried to write down the codes you have given in the terminal (#!bin ....), at the last three lines it is told that te codes are tainted. Can you kindly  give  a more detailed prospectus for the sync procedure of SL-5600 with intellisync or other softwares please?... Thanks.

That's fine; I think it just means the module is missing something or other which tells the kernel whether or not the source is available. Strange as the source is available. And ideas?

I don't sync. Check you can ping, then follow the standard instructions I suppose.

openzaurus 3.5.1 flashed in 860 and crashes in opie. (i used the opie image)
it presents a window about searching the cf card content for media and as soon as you click ok or x it crashes. The console is working ok though ,its fb so fast and totally usable. It seems ppl have done a good job keeping the distro simple but although gui is not so important for me i suppose it should be working. Anyway im mostly into the x server image so i'm just posting the bug for the opie version for further investigation.
wrong
http://openembedded.org/oe_wiki/index.php/OzReleaseNotes has the solution

Can You add those infos to OzReleaseNotes in OE Wiki? It will be easier to track them.
