3.5.2 - Problems, Fixes, Questions

Why does it seem to generate the SSH keys twice?

I didn't notice that before. Probably has to do with dropbear, as openssh is installed
by default. I'll have a look.

Quote
Is EXT3 support for SD/MMC Cards?

I have no idea. The kernel has a stock OZ 3.5.x .config.
I'd strongly advise against using a jounaled FS on any flash-based storage medium.
It will wear out very fast if you do.

Quote
Can you include a fsck binary in your image?
It makes sense to have it on-board. The next release shall have it.

Quote
Is there a way to force a fsck on the SD/MMC card before you do your magic?

I'd rather not mess with the SD cards. A bug in there could destroy all data on a card.
Not to speak of all those crappy el-cheapo cards which cause problems in the Z.
A cheap card can hang the Z during fsck.

As it is now, the user has to make sure his card is large enough and ext2 formatted.
I think that is not to difficult for most users  

Thanks for your feedback

Allo Coredump !

You're my new hero, after spending 12 hours yesterday and not able to install anything, I decided to try your rom and sd setup.

Scared the heck outta myself, and thought i'd bricked the Z, because I flashed the Z with an empty card

So after copying your 3 files to my cf, flash, it came up and is working great. Everything got installed very nicely, having it in german kind of threw me, but my trusty translator got it figured out.

2 things though are throwing me off.

1: My cf wireless netgear ma701na card is being recognized as an ' anonymous memory card ' by the Z, does this have something to do with one of your init scripts? I have to eject it, then replug it for the Z to recognize it as a wireless CF - Its being used as a ZCOMAX AirRunner/XL-300 and seems to be working.

However,

2: I cannot seem to get into a network properties dialog where I can specify the wireless settings for channel, ssid etc, I click on the network settings and can only either ' bring up ' or set/unset dhcp. Can I set this information manually in /etc/ somewhere?


Marvelous work Coredump, My Z came -->this<-- close to landing on the road outside.

Cheers,
One

If you go to the networking panel and click on the wlan, it has a box to start automatically.  After a reboot the wireless card will power up, then you can go back and set your ssid, wep doesn't work yet as far as I can tell.

I should have mentioned that this ROM is only for the Z5x00

Anyways, I've uploaded a new ROM (RC7), along with a new cardfs, hopefully fixing the WLAN configuration problems.

There's an all-english version now, too (-EN)
Also fsck and mkfs are now part of the base ROM (initrd.bin)

Please test this version if you had WLAN configuration problems w/ the previous one.

@pumo:

I had the same error here and I am using the 56-8 image. I removed xmms and installed the version from the feed (or are they the same?).

When I installed xmms to the sd-card I get some errors about symlinks which can't be created, so I installed it into the root.

Xmms works for me now

They should be. The pre-installed XMMS was only recompiled.

That would be because those links were already there. They were created during the cardfs installation.

If for some reason cardfs apps do not work, try
Code: [Select]
ipkg-link mount /mnt/card
I've written a small cardfs howto:

You might want to have a look at it.
