Has anyone had any experience booting from a flash card (I have a sandisk 128) attached to the usb port on the zaurus?  If so, does the installation/reboot procedure differ at all?

I've been trying this the last 2 hours or so to do something similar.  I don't have a SD or CF card (or flash driver) so I've been trying to flash it over USB using that option connected to my PC.

I'm connected to the cradle and in Windows.

I've downloaded the 5600 rom update from myzaurus.com.  It has a ZaurusOSUpdate.exe that I'm trying to use for my SL-6000L.  I have edited the files to include the standard zImage.bin updater.sh and initrd.sh that were mentioned in earlier posts.  I have both Opie and GPE downloaded, not sure which I'm currently attempting.

I've cleared off all installed self-installed software.

I get to the point where it says "--- Zaurus USB Updater ---" on the zaurus.

The pc then connects, appears to send the updater.sh, but stops.  The Zaurus says "please reset" or something.

I've tried various paths for the files:

/etc/update/
/etc/
/
/home/etc/

All no good.

I think the problem might be (although I'm guessing here) there's some errors when going into the USB Update option referring to "usbdevfs" "can not mount" "usb_ohci_?" and "/proc/bus/usb".  Maybe that always happens?


It at least appears this approach is "hackable", but this is my first zaurus, and my first attempt at flashing it.  

There may even be a ready to use ZaurusOSUpdate.exe for the 6000 out there somewhere...

Maybe someone else has a clue....

Waiting for an Opie version with less bug !

Some of you may notice out on http://zaurus.thegrantclan.org/download/zaurus/roms/tosa/ that I have uploaded a new file called sl6000-20041028.tar.gz.  This does have a newer version of OPIE built using OpenZaurus 3.5.2pre and it also uses my modified version of updater.sh that uses a menu system like pdaXrom.  The GPE image in this file is the same as before ad the pdaxrom image does not work.  

When you untar you will find it only has a tools.cramfs and the updater.sh.  Just place these two file in the root of you sd or cf card and for the normal flash direction of the Power+OK.  This time when your Z reboots you find yourself at a menu screen.  Currently the resize does not work for the 6000 and I have not tried the home backup and restore.  Anyone that wants to can play with it and let me know what problem they find.

I did get the error a few days ago so I have an idea to why you are gettign the problem you.  It looks liek it maybe the p80211 module did not get loaded correctly.  When I started getting this problem I found I could not unload the p80211 module.  After rebooting and loading the module again everything worked.  Not sure if the reboot will fix it for you or not.

I knwo that  few other people have been improving appone the wlan-ng compile in OpenEmbedded so they may have fixed this so it will nto happoned now.  I have nto seen this happon yet with my build from yesterday.

It sounds as if it did not mount the cramfs image correctly.  I have made a new copy of what is on my sd card and I am currently uploading it to zaurus.thegrantclan.org.  Try that and see if it works for you.  If it does then I know I uploaded the wrong stuff.

Hello nevarrie,
I have just tested your cramfs dated yesterday October 29 I just want to let you know that I found the installation menu brought up correctly, I used it to install OPIE and everything went fine.
I noticed that suspending pressing the On/Off button begins a suspend/resume loop. I needed to reset to stop it. But suspending from the Opie menu is just fine.
Now if only we get backlight tuning and WiFi running... we could say goodbye to that standard Sharp ROM.
Great work!

1.How can i start my wlan in this image ?
I've configured the wlan0 from OPIE NETWORK then from consolle :
wlanup ;

the lan's led power up but i receive :

Starting wlan device: modprobe: Can't locate module wlan0

This is dmeg....

MSDOS FS: IO charset utf8

3. I notice there are some yellow lines when i open ad close a window on opie,

Okay now what am I doing wrong??  I am trying to reinstall the sharp rom.  I unzip all the files from the 20040217SL6V112.zip file to the root of my cf cards and sd card (have tried 4 different cards.).  I've tried doing a cf update by holding the ok button then choosing update.  I've tried doing a cf and sd update from the diagnostics menu.  It starts then errors.  I've tried a nand restore from here as well and it says it is missing files.  Any clues??
What's this button do??

I have got the suspend problem myself...this maybe something with my build, since i have talked with some of the others that have build images for the 6000 and they have not had problems with suspend...

Great work!

With the price fo the 6000 down as low as it is now more developers have 6000's now so hopefullly we can get these last few problems fixed for OPIE and have a nice alternive to the sharp rom.
