| 04:20.06 | BitWraith | does anybody here use pdaxrom? I have used pdaxii13 for a while... but I m going to try the original pdaxrom out. do I _need_ the uboot files, or can I set up the distro without them? |
| 04:23.34 | BitWraith | Also, if anybody here has a recmmendation for the best release to install, I'm all ears. |
| 04:24.05 | BitWraith | (even if it's not pdax, although I am leaning towards it) |
| 06:17.29 | BitWraith | I installed pdaxrom beta3 (since I KNOW that does fine without uboot) and I guess I'll see how well that works for now. It seems unusually slow though... |

| 16:23.30 | HRH_H_Crab | BitWraith: have you ever had any power problems? |
| 16:23.38 | HRH_H_Crab | (battery charging related) |
| 16:50.07 | BitWraith | I don't think so |
| 16:50.28 | BitWraith | I have noticed the device thinking it is full when it is not sometimes, but not often |
| 16:50.34 | BitWraith | mostly when waking up |
| 16:50.43 | BitWraith | besides that,, I haven't had any trouble with that |
| 16:51.26 | BitWraith | I don't know what I did with pdaxrom but I totally screwed it up. lol |
| 16:53.11 | HRH_H_Crab | hmmm. i think i may have trashed mine by accidentally using a charger with the wrong polarity. |
| 16:54.11 | BitWraith | oh brilliant. |
| 16:58.32 | BitWraith | HRH_H_Crab, have you ever used pdaxrom on your 3200? |
| 16:59.12 | BitWraith | I would like to know if the newer release requires uboot or not, but nobody else was around to explain |
| 16:59.39 | HRH_H_Crab | nah |
| 16:59.58 | HRH_H_Crab | i use(d?!) openzaurus for a while, and lately angstrom |
| 17:00.43 | BitWraith | are you sick of angstrom yet? :-P |
| 17:01.45 | HRH_H_Crab | nope |
| 17:01.50 | HRH_H_Crab | i used it for ages |
| 17:02.29 | HRH_H_Crab | the only stuff i tend to do was play mp3s and use the console |
| 17:02.38 | BitWraith | I tried it twice, and both times it was missing packages for nearly everything I wanted to use on it so I chucked it |
| 17:03.24 | HRH_H_Crab | it does lack a lot of stuff. |
| 17:03.48 | BitWraith | I just wish the gentoo on 3200 guides weren't in russian... I don't care how long it takes to install things at this point. |
| 17:07.29 | HRH_H_Crab | i think that would be a bit insane. |
| 17:07.35 | HRH_H_Crab | have you tried poky? |
| 17:07.55 | HRH_H_Crab | i dont think its got a lot of stuff, but apparently its very nice. |

| 18:40.48 | BitWraith | have you ever got yours to do 624mhz gracefully? i never found a way |
| 19:23.23 | BitWraith | w00t |
| 19:23.41 | BitWraith | I found English instructions for gentoo on the Zaurus. |
| 19:24.05 | BitWraith | but it require uboot, just like pdaxrom does. :-/ |
| 19:25.16 | BitWraith | I worry about bricking it with uboot... I know it is very hard to brick a zaurus, but I wonder if I will know how to fix it and how long it will take to fix if anything goes wrong |
| 19:26.58 | BitWraith | I am just crazy enough to do it though, wish me luck X-D |
| 19:37.52 | BitWraith | RATS! |
| 19:38.31 | BitWraith | the ftp server containing the kernel image I need is not letting me download the files |
| 19:57.41 | BitWraith | ... I was not holding the OK key wen it rebooted... I am in the sae boat as the other guys who complained about uboot I found on google. I was trying to read the instructions and it rebooted too fast |
| 19:58.35 | BitWraith | now I hold OK and nothing happens. I'll keep trying things, but anybody who knows uboot should speak up |
| 20:03.37 | BitWraith | itturns out I needed to have the battery door locked |
| 20:05.34 | BitWraith | "no kernel image" !?!? |
| 20:45.18 | BitWraith | i have pdaxrom booted now |

| 21:31.10 | HRH_H_Crab | heh |
| 21:31.15 | HRH_H_Crab | at least yours works. |
| 21:31.16 | HRH_H_Crab | :P |
| 21:31.26 | HRH_H_Crab | im getting more and more certain mine is dead, |
| 21:31.31 | BitWraith | and there's not e17 package... but fluxbox is there so I'll be fine |
| 21:31.32 | HRH_H_Crab | and no way of getting it repaired. |
| 21:31.37 | BitWraith | what is it doing? |
| 21:31.42 | HRH_H_Crab | not a lot. |
| 21:31.45 | BitWraith | did you try ubot too? |
| 21:31.47 | HRH_H_Crab | it won't power on at all. |
| 21:31.48 | HRH_H_Crab | nah, |
| 21:32.01 | HRH_H_Crab | i think i applied power with the wrong polarity or something. |
| 21:32.02 | BitWraith | oh, now I remember, bad charger |
| 21:32.05 | HRH_H_Crab | the yellow light comes on, |
| 21:32.08 | HRH_H_Crab | but it wont start. |
| 21:32.14 | HRH_H_Crab | i can get it into the d-m menu, |
| 21:32.17 | HRH_H_Crab | but thats about it. |
| 21:32.37 | BitWraith | it needsto remain plugged in long eough to have sufficient chrge... I assume you already tried that |
| 21:33.02 | HRH_H_Crab | well, its been sat on the charger with the yellow light going for hours, |
| 21:33.05 | HRH_H_Crab | but no joy. |
| 21:33.09 | BitWraith | the dm menu works, but the OS doesn't? maybe the OS happens to be the only thing broken? |
| 21:33.16 | HRH_H_Crab | im pretty certain its crocked. |
| 21:33.24 | HRH_H_Crab | well, i cant see how. |
| 21:33.45 | BitWraith | did you try your install media again, to see if the OS can even be installed |
| 21:33.45 | HRH_H_Crab | i have no idea why the dm menu is working when the os on the disc won't boot. |
| 21:33.59 | HRH_H_Crab | i don't think i can get it into the o.k. menu. |
| 21:34.23 | HRH_H_Crab | (i.e. the menu with 4 buttons in japanese where you boot from the sd card) |
| 21:34.34 | HRH_H_Crab | s/boot/flash |
| 21:34.35 | HRH_H_Crab | i mean |
| 21:34.49 | BitWraith | when the OS on te disk doesn't boot, it behaves somewhat like what you described, I think... although I thought it would still charge |
| 21:35.14 | BitWraith | it did something like that when I tried to get gentoo working and had a non-bootable disk |
| 21:35.23 | HRH_H_Crab | well it could be the case that my battery is charging but i don't think so. |
| 21:35.31 | HRH_H_Crab | i was able to use angstrom before, |
| 21:35.35 | HRH_H_Crab | and tried charging it then, |
| 21:35.40 | HRH_H_Crab | and the yellow light came on, |
| 21:35.45 | BitWraith | maybe when you had a power failure the disk got currupted |
| 21:35.50 | HRH_H_Crab | but it just drained the battery eventually hence where i am now. |
| 21:36.08 | HRH_H_Crab | i think my best bet, |
| 21:36.21 | HRH_H_Crab | is to buy an external battery charger and possibly a new battery. |
| 21:36.36 | HRH_H_Crab | and if that doesnt work, put my sd cards up on ebay! ;P |
| 21:37.23 | BitWraith | wierd |
| 21:37.41 | HRH_H_Crab | theres a couple of posts on the oesf forums about it. |
| 21:37.55 | HRH_H_Crab | whats really unlucky is that the company i bought it from appear to have gone bust. |
| 21:38.02 | HRH_H_Crab | so i cant see if they can help. |
| 21:38.17 | BitWraith | which one was it |
| 21:38.24 | HRH_H_Crab | fig labs |
| 21:38.25 | HRH_H_Crab | in england |
| 21:38.29 | BitWraith | mine is from geekstuff4u |
| 21:39.15 | HRH_H_Crab | well, if i cant get it working again, id be tempted to get another one, |
| 21:39.21 | HRH_H_Crab | but i doubt i will out of spite to sharp. |
| 21:39.22 | BitWraith | hmm... my Z has frozen twice in the new install. not cool |
| 21:39.47 | BitWraith | HRH_H_Crab, look into the OpenMoko FreeRunner |
| 21:39.59 | HRH_H_Crab | no keyboard. :| |
| 21:40.16 | BitWraith | no keyboard, young software... other than that is looks awesome |
| 21:40.35 | HRH_H_Crab | id sooner get a crappy windows htc phone, |
| 21:40.35 | HRH_H_Crab | and run putty. |
| 21:40.43 | HRH_H_Crab | if it had a keyboard id be all over it. |
| 21:40.52 | BitWraith | I used an iPAQ (non-phone) for 3 yers nd loved it, light years ahead of palm |
| 21:41.12 | BitWraith | don't underestimate the power of an iPAQ. ;-) |
| 21:41.40 | HRH_H_Crab | yeah a second hand ipaq would be nice too, but all these are lame compared to the z ;P |
| 21:42.04 | HRH_H_Crab | ill prob. just try to be less of a geek. |
