| 08:42:02 | Microdim|IBM | ok I have a few questions, can some on take the time to help me? |
| 08:43:36 | Microdim|IBM | Ok, I wanted to put Linux on my Ipaq, but I dont know how safe or easy it is to restore windows CE, can some one help me with this question? |
| 09:14:45 | debugger | bootblaster says valid OHH bootloader found after program, can I reset my ipaq now? |
| 10:13:15 | Eagle_X | Hi. any bootloader and familar gurus here? I need really help! |
| 10:13:45 | debugger | throw it |
| 10:15:07 | Eagle_X | yesterday i installed on my 3850 famillar 2.4.17.rmk4.hh2. system boots and i was able to install a basic qtopia. ..... |
| 10:15:19 | Eagle_X | ... but i did something wrong: ... |
| 10:15:56 | Eagle_X | i did no ipkg postinstall cause i have no internet on the ipaq .... |
| 10:16:03 | debugger | did you do anything with the bootloader? |
| 10:16:35 | debugger | that does not seem to be a problem |
| 10:16:46 | Eagle_X | the qtipia ipkg package was unable to install cause it cant find a installed ipkg package. .... |
| 10:17:31 | Eagle_X | Bootloadder is ok - but: i tried now to redoo the entire familar installation (load root) .... |
| 10:17:41 | debugger | ok so you need to do ipkg info pkg_name |
| 10:17:47 | Eagle_X | ... and the bootloader doesnt start the download |
| 10:18:02 | Eagle_X | i try |
| 10:18:12 | debugger | bootloader version? |
| 10:18:40 | Eagle_X | bootloader 2.18.01 |
| 10:19:00 | debugger | fine, me using same |
| 10:19:01 | Eagle_X | "ipkg info ipkg" aswers nothing |
| 10:19:57 | Eagle_X | Im asuming somthing is wrong with the ipkg installation. if i do a "ipkg list" i get a emty list |
| 10:20:08 | debugger | no ipkg info filename to qtopia pkg |
| 10:20:20 | debugger | shit seems your ipkg db is gone |
| 10:20:28 | Eagle_X | never had one |
| 10:20:38 | debugger | how come |
| 10:21:11 | Eagle_X | btw: in the beginning i had to rename the /etc/ipkg.conf-generic to ipkg.conf |
| 10:21:36 | Eagle_X | but Im asuming, there was preinstalled packages like ipkg itself |
| 10:22:29 | debugger | yes |
| 10:23:25 | Eagle_X | I tried to redoo the entire install process (except bootloader) to have a blanc root image but NOW the bootloader doesnt start the zmodem trandfer (like yewsterday) |
| 10:23:47 | debugger | its xmodem |
| 10:24:03 | Eagle_X | i know - and it worked yesterday |
| 10:24:31 | Eagle_X | i start a "load root" and then i start the transfer in hyperterminal and this times out |
| 10:25:03 | debugger | just to check 115200 8 N 1 no control |
| 10:25:04 | Eagle_X | q: is there some flash areas protected ?? |
| 10:25:30 | Eagle_X | com settings work (i have console and commandline acess |
| 10:26:24 | debugger | if it times out, its nothing with flash protection |
| 10:26:31 | Eagle_X | ok |
| 10:26:43 | debugger | flashing starts after successful download |
| 10:28:50 | Eagle_X | AAAAARG! no zmodem selected :[ - my fault. |
| 10:29:23 | debugger | using wrong protocol :( |
| 11:58:56 | Eagle_X | debugger: i installed a fresh familar and renamed the ipkg.conf. if i do a "ipkg list" i get a message like ... |
| 11:59:44 | Eagle_X | "file not found: /usr/lib/ipkg/lists/familar-unstable |
| 12:00:46 | Eagle_X | oops - debugger already gone :-| |
| 12:01:40 | banshee | ipkg update? |
| 12:12:33 | Eagle_X | banshee: doesnt work because i have no internet conection. |
| 12:12:54 | banshee | no usbnet or anything on it? |
| 12:13:52 | Eagle_X | banshee: it seems something is wron with ipkg's package list. but i dont know enything about ipkg's file structures. |
| 12:14:21 | banshee | ipkg is just a shells cript |
| 12:14:23 | banshee | script |
| 12:14:58 | banshee | need the packages file from the feed your going to use |
| 12:15:04 | Eagle_X | banshee: only serial connection with my laptop :-( |
| 12:15:39 | banshee | just minicom, no slip or ppp? |
| 12:16:08 | debugger | my ipaq lacks a params parition :( how to send parameters then? |
| 12:16:51 | Eagle_X | banshee: no nothing |
| 12:17:12 | banshee | debugger: ? ask in #handhelds.org i just use the damn thing, haven't had chance to setup a toolchain or anything cept for making wallpaper for icewm on it since classes started this semester |
| 12:17:33 | banshee | Eagle_X: so you just have minicom access on it? no network connection from it at all? |
| 12:17:38 | debugger | well i only see a black screen |
| 12:17:46 | Eagle_X | banshee: yes |
| 12:18:04 | banshee | Eagle_X: hmmm, and you still need to install like task-complete and task-x? |
| 12:19:01 | Eagle_X | banshee: finally i want to use Qtopia and these guys say to install only the basic famillar. is this ok?? |
| 12:19:42 | banshee | ? just hard to install anything after the rootfs w/o some kind of network connection to it, even a slip connection would help |
| 12:19:51 | Eagle_X | banshee: Im able to download all needed packages and store them in the /tmp folder this works BUT: |
| 12:20:29 | Eagle_X | ..after "ipkg install"ing a package, "ipkg list" doesnt show me the package. |
| 12:22:53 | banshee | hmm got me stumpted |
| 12:23:49 | Eagle_X | i need to fix this before i start installing any aditional packages. |

| 20:48:30 | ThEnOid | Hello everybody |
| 21:45:28 | ThEnOid | ls |
| 21:45:30 | ThEnOid | ahh! |
| 21:46:42 | ThEnOid | who |
| 21:46:44 | ThEnOid | ahh! |
| 21:47:38 | ThEnOid | I've got an H3850... What are the chances of me screwing up a linux install and turning it into a brick? |
| 21:51:14 | ThEnOid | halo? |
| 21:53:11 | sjohnson | ThEnOid: The 38xx's aren't fullow supported in Linux yet. I would advse against loading linx at this time. |
| 21:53:39 | ThEnOid | Yeah, that was my outlook on it. I think I'll buy a 3650 to dedicate to linux. |
| 21:53:50 | ThEnOid | Gonna do some wardriving... look for some AP's in my area. |
| 21:54:15 | ThEnOid | Couple on ebay for pretty cheap right now.. 150 bucks for one with a CF adapter. |
| 21:54:18 | ThEnOid | Not bad at all. |
| 21:55:47 | sjohnson | ThEnOid: Try a 37xx. It has 32M of flash and 64MB. It's the same hardware as the 36xx's |
| 22:07:21 | ThEnOid | Okay.. but the 3700 is also a bit more expensive. isn't it? |
