It would make me very happy if you could upload your zImage.bin here. I like the performance of that patch, but my touch screen - stylus problems are real bad. My kernel hacking is poor to!

I\'ve finally compiled a kernel with overclocking & preemptif patches without the touch screen features... :-)
I\'ve updated the tutorial.

Enjoy!   Let me know of any further issues...  :?

I\'ve just uploaded the \'Pre-emptive Standard Kernel\' for the 5600 in the ZUG Downloads\' Patches section, but I guess an admin needs to make it available.

Now to play with ced\'s new instructions

Thanks ced!

Nice one ced! Your new instructions work great. Now I\'ve got a pre-emptive kernel running the CPU at 471MHz and no touchscreen problems  Even Bust\'em is playable with the stylus now.

Tumnus, when your previous zImage.bin file becomes available (or maybe even your latest one, please), in order to flash to them, do I load up a CF with the contents of the official 1.32 release (initrd.bin, mversion.bin, etc and then replace the original zImage.bin with yours?  And then go through the Update menu option to upgrade from CF?

Anyone care to speculate on what overclocking will do to the expected lifetime of the Zaurus?

I put the instructions in the download description (Basically you only need zImage.bin and updater.sh), but for some reason it\'s not showing in the downloads.

Did you send a note to OffRoadGeek?  Perhaps he could see what\'s up.

Hi, will this patch work for a 5500 running a Cacko ROM?

Thanks.

hate to say it, but people will abuse anything that is free/anonymous or doesn\'t need approval.

The best you can do is have a temp place, with size cap -- but even then it will be
abused. :-/

Perhaps registered users don\'t need approval to post to an \"unofficial\" area?

The overclock patch probably won\'t (it isn\'t needed anyway if it has the same register access as the Sharp ROM kernel), but the standard pre-emptive patch from here might: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/peo...-2.4.18-5.patch

One thing I have noticed with the latest instructions that ced posted was that my pre-compiled BlueZ modules didn\'t work properly. They all loaded without any errors, but simply didn\'t do anything. Don\'t know why. I recompiled against the patched kernel to get them working and forgot to look at dmesg or turn on syslog beforehand. Had trouble compiling the UART-based Bluetooth drivers though.

Has anyone else who has tried the \'special\' kernel had problems with kernel modules not working properly?

Other than that, however, this new kernel seems to be rock solid. I haven\'t had a single lockup. If ced isn\'t able to upload the zImage.bin then I can if it is wanted (all credits going to ced of course). I might have to do a special BlueZ package for this kernel. I need to add an example rfcomm.conf to the existing one anyway.

tummus --] could you let me know if my latest tutorial section is correct?  I\'m just guessing here because I haven\'t got any bluetooth card...
