Cacko/Crow ROM update 3.10 (Kernel 2.4.18)
for Sharp Zaurus SL-5500 and SL-5000D
This ROM is an enhancement of Sharp's 3.10 release. It places /home
on an MMC or SD card, thus freeing the RAM previously used by /home
for running applications. The result is that Linux has all 64MB
(or 32MB for SL-5000D) of memory available for its use. Instructions
for preparing MMC/SD card and flashing your Zaurus can be found here.
Features:
- Kernel has full access to all 64MB RAM (32MB for SL-5000D)
- Added EmbeddedKonsole
- Added FileManager
- Added Process Manager
- Added fdisk, top, ssh
- Added Smooth system fonts
- Builtin Cyrillic support and russian keyboard layout
- Removed Opera due to space considerations :( Get the ipkg here (not mirrored yet).
- Removed Patience game
Note: MMC/SD cards can be slow. To improve performance Cacko/Crow can
use async mode for writing. To enable asynchronous writes to the MMC/SD
card, run Embedded Konsole or connect to zaurus via ssh (ssh
192.168.129.201) and execute the following commands:
$su
#echo MOUNT_OPTIONS=\"async,noatime\">/home/root/.rom_options
#reboot

Bugs:
- After installing on MMC/SD and first booting into
Qtopia, you must reboot the system again manually, otherwise Qtopia will crash after pressing
hardware keys (hmm, problem in cyrkbd driver with new kernel 2.4.18).
