OK, my new travel usb cable arrived today, so i decided to get the usb storage mode working (my sd should be here soon ). I tried to find the scripts on your site lardman, but it looks like the whole of zaurii.net is down. Could you (or someone else who has them) post them here please?

Thanks
Simon

The scripts are listed in the original thread from way back.

The site has gone for good now, and I've not got round to creating a new one... yet ;-)

Note that the scripts are different for the PXA and SA processor machines, as are the kernel modules (the SA machines need to use the patched sa1100_bi.o which comes in the ipk, the PXAs only need the storage_fd.o module as their pxa_bi.o is fine).

Which machine do you have? I'll post the various bits and pieces somewhere.

I can't find the scripts anywhere on these forums!
I have SL-5500 (SA I think- correct me if I'm wrong)
Thanks
Simon

I don't have the modules handy, I'll post them tomorrow if someone doesn't beat me to it.

Thanks. I have the ipk so I can get the modules from there.

IT WORKS!!!
Thankyou Simon (lardman)!

Oh great. It seems to work fine on the two machines I have running win xp (networking mode, sd storage mode and cf storage mode). I don't really know about win 2000 yet; but the last time I tried it something went wrong (I will check this out further tomorrow- i think i did something wrong).

Unfortunately, it doesn't work properly on the machine I use most- my laptop, running 2.6.8.1 linux kernel, slackware 9.1. If I plug in my z in networking mode it does the same thing I have been having trouble with on my server for almost 2 years- "device not accepting address"- it tries this twice and then gives up. Unplugging and replugging makes little difference, but at least it doesn't lock up the usb.
If I plug in my z in either sd or cf mass storage mode, it works fine, but if I unplug it and then replug it, it locks up the usb, so I can't use any other devices in that port either. lsusb locks in this state. So far (although i haven't tried much- i'm sure unloading the usb modules would work, but that may well hang) the only way to get my usb back is to restart. It only has one usb port, so I don't know if it is locking the whole usb system or just that port.

Anyone got any ideas? I don't think its anything to do with the z, but i could easily be wrong.
Thanks
Simon

Out of interest does your Z also lock up when you try to go back to net mode from storage (when you suspend)?

It think it works on my PC (Mandrake 10 - kernel 2.6.something), but I'd have to double check to be sure I've actually used it (and I'm not thinking of 9.2 which I upgraded from a while back).

I don't suppose you have another mass storage device to try....?

This is very strange.
Yes I have tried several other mass storage devices- these all work fine (with the exception of a few issues with my brother's mp3 player- more on that later).
My Z hasn't locked up for ages!!! WOO!!!

I usually unload all the related modules completely before changing mode, but thinking about it that isn't much different from your original script.

It turns out that the Win 2000 machine I had been trying it on has some sort of problem with the usb- it just picks it up as a "usb device" (strange, all other mass storage devices seem to work on it) and does nothing. I tried it on a slightly different (older) win2000 machine and it worked perfectly. Wierd.

I must get round to trying it on another linux box.

The mp3 player has some issues (only on linux on my laptop), which are similar to that of the Z (sort of). The internal memory (256mb) is fat32. If I leave the fs type as 'auto', it is picked up as 'msdos', not 'vfat'. If manually mount it as vfat it works fine, but i get some random messages in dmesg complaining about something to do with vfat. The SD card, which appears in windows as a second drive, never gets mentioned.
The similarity here is that I must manually mount my z as vfat or it is picked up as msdos too.

Thanks for all the help
Simon

I have tried install bash on my OZ 3.5.2.... from my CF card... I have edited the /ete/ipkg.conf to point to /mnt/cf/feed/* .... and I have sucess installing so many apps on my Z... nut when I tried but a better shell... this fu.... my Z... the ipkg install bash ... works fine but this removes sh/ash and I cant run ipkg-link!

check to see if there is a link from /bin/sh to /bin/bash:
ls -l /bin/sh

I have checked.... there is not a symlink... and no bash binary and no sh/ash... I need reflash!
