| 00:35.36 | matt_ | s3phi|2, hello |
| 00:35.44 | matt_ | there was a guy in here a few days ago asking the same question |
| 00:35.58 | matt_ | s3phi|2, what i did with my h5550 was when i flashed it i held the like joysick type button and pushed the reset button |
| 00:36.05 | matt_ | then put it in the cradle and use a serial console |
| 00:37.23 | s3phi|2 | i solved it |
| 00:37.38 | matt_ | cool |
| 00:37.46 | s3phi|2 | i am currently having the first boot |
| 00:37.53 | s3phi|2 | and btw |
| 00:38.17 | s3phi|2 | i AM the same guy you yesterday told going use win CE |
| 00:38.48 | s3phi|2 | u wasnt kind at all |
| 00:39.38 | s3phi|2 | fortunately someone elseexplained me abou the missing vedeo support for h54xx models.. |
| 00:40.51 | s3phi|2 | btw, opie is trying booting from 20 mins ago ... |
| 00:55.28 | *** join/#familiar emte_ (n=emte@d64-180-45-14.bchsia.telus.net) |
| 01:00.00 | matt_ | s3phi|2, ahh k yea that guy was ... not very friendly lol |
| 01:00.19 | matt_ | yea opie on first boot i have had a few issues with it |
| 01:00.24 | matt_ | i normally just restart it |
| 01:00.33 | matt_ | and it seems fine after that |
| 01:00.48 | matt_ | but i do have a h5550 and not a h54xx |
| 01:05.41 | s3phi|2 | relase notes says not to restart it in order to prevent corrupting of the installation |
| 01:05.58 | s3phi|2 | are u suggesting restart anyway and it should be fine ? |
| 01:06.34 | matt_ | ok well the first time i did it i thought, nothing can take this long and after all if the boot loader is setup and working then you can always just reflash it |
| 01:08.01 | s3phi|2 | may it be configureing the hw |
| 01:08.01 | matt_ | i never got a splash screen with my ipaq |
| 01:08.26 | matt_ | guess its because of those video modules missing |
| 01:08.51 | matt_ | s3phi|2, the init scripts setup the hardware as you need it on every boot |
| 01:09.02 | s3phi|2 | now that it's booting i see on ipaq screen the tux, and the line Please wait , booting ... |
| 01:09.08 | matt_ | you wont be able to damage the hardware |
| 01:09.14 | matt_ | ahh k |
| 01:09.44 | s3phi|2 | well i'm pasteing the notes line i mean .. |
| 01:10.24 | matt_ | pasting the notes line ? |
| 01:10.37 | s3phi|2 | The first boot may take quite a long time. Be patient - if you reset it at a critical stage during booting then you may damage your installation, and you'll have to start all over again. Although the h5xxx series sometimes requires a reboot if the install takes more than 15 minutes. |
| 01:10.51 | s3phi|2 | On first boot dropbear needs to generate the SSH keys. Therefore it will take longer. Tapping the screen / moving the stylus over the screen during first boot will decrease the boottime (this supplies random data for generating the keys). |
| 01:11.09 | s3phi|2 | this above is what's wrote on http://handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/FamiliarReleaseNotes |
| 01:11.26 | s3phi|2 | ( just to avoid someone say me GRTFM :D ) |
| 01:11.26 | matt_ | ahh k |
| 01:11.50 | matt_ | yea that does man sense |
| 01:12.38 | s3phi|2 | now, i got doubts on that "sometimes requires a reboot if install takes more than 15 mins " |
| 01:12.51 | s3phi|2 | this had gone surely out of this time .. |
| 01:13.09 | s3phi|2 | so should i restart it now :-/ ... |
| 01:13.45 | s3phi|2 | ( NB: I got no reset button .. ops ) |
| 01:14.26 | matt_ | i would |
| 01:14.41 | matt_ | it says .. it may damage your installation |
| 01:14.46 | matt_ | not your hardware |
| 01:15.03 | matt_ | in the worse case you will just have to reflash and start over |
| 01:16.14 | s3phi|2 | oki restarted it ... |
| 01:16.25 | s3phi|2 | there's tux.. again ... |
| 01:16.37 | s3phi|2 | and please wait ... booting ... again.. -.-" |
| 01:17.35 | s3phi|2 | what is it supposed to do now ? |
| 01:18.00 | s3phi|2 | maybe it's obvious, to boot .... but i mean, i wich time ... |
| 01:18.58 | matt_ | mine dosn't take too long to boot |
| 01:19.14 | matt_ | but i hardly ever reboot it |
| 01:19.31 | matt_ | i would give it a few mins |
| 01:19.45 | s3phi|2 | then if it doesn't boot ? |
| 01:19.54 | matt_ | and if it did get stuck before then it should carry on with the rest of the setup tasks |
| 01:20.12 | matt_ | that it didn't get to before, which will prob take longer than a normal, already setup boot |
| 01:20.23 | s3phi|2 | what u mean ? |
| 01:23.10 | matt_ | if it has 4 tasks, 1,2,3 and 4 |
| 01:23.23 | matt_ | and on the last boot it stopped on 2 |
| 01:23.30 | matt_ | it will still need todo 3 and 4 |
| 01:24.16 | s3phi|2 | yes but.. wich tasks are you referring to ? |
| 01:24.20 | s3phi|2 | booting tasks ? |
| 01:24.25 | s3phi|2 | installation tasks ? |
| 01:24.31 | s3phi|2 | i don't understand :-/ |
| 01:24.48 | matt_ | setup tasks |
| 01:24.50 | matt_ | first run |
| 01:25.03 | matt_ | things like generating ssh keys and setting up sym links |
| 01:25.03 | s3phi|2 | ok that's logic but .... |
| 01:25.10 | s3phi|2 | ok |
| 01:25.18 | s3phi|2 | but i currently don't see em |
| 01:25.31 | matt_ | you wont they run in the background |
| 01:25.33 | s3phi|2 | i mean, i donnow how i can interact |
| 01:25.39 | s3phi|2 | ok |
| 01:25.44 | matt_ | you shouldn't have to |
| 01:25.47 | s3phi|2 | so what should i do ? |
| 01:25.50 | matt_ | have you got a serial line hooked up to this ? |
| 01:26.39 | s3phi|2 | uhm.. well restarting it i lost the line, but i can recall the connection crable , is this u mean ? |
| 01:26.53 | s3phi|2 | the 115200/8N1 ? |
| 01:26.56 | matt_ | yea |
| 01:27.06 | matt_ | i would get it to a boot> prompt |
| 01:27.12 | matt_ | and type load root |
| 01:27.25 | matt_ | n it should gives you boot into |
| 01:27.47 | matt_ | *info |
| 01:27.55 | s3phi|2 | uhm... ok, but, should i do something on the ipaq ? ( it's still booting ) |
| 01:28.28 | s3phi|2 | sample |
| 01:28.32 | matt_ | humm i donno probuly should of booted by now |
| 01:28.46 | s3phi|2 | i opened the terminal |
| 01:28.50 | s3phi|2 | it called |
| 01:29.00 | s3phi|2 | ok it's connected... i don't see any prompt |
| 01:30.17 | matt_ | you never used the serial console before ? |
| 01:30.35 | matt_ | For H5xxx: When the iPAQ buzzes, release the joypad. The screen will not change from whatever was previously displayed (blank, PocketPC, etc). |
| 01:30.40 | s3phi|2 | not under windows >_> |
| 01:30.47 | matt_ | Hold down the joypad and push the reset button on the iPAQ. You will need to remove it from the cradle to access the reset button. |
| 01:31.07 | matt_ | thats how you get the boot loader to run |
| 01:31.16 | s3phi|2 | you are copying this from the howto, i know it at memory >_> |
| 01:31.21 | matt_ | lol yea |
| 01:31.38 | s3phi|2 | listen, i did it |
| 01:31.45 | s3phi|2 | but ... |
| 01:31.50 | s3phi|2 | i got a little problem ... |
| 01:32.04 | s3phi|2 | the problem is that i DO NOT have the reset button |
| 01:32.11 | matt_ | oh |
| 01:32.14 | matt_ | how come ? |
| 01:32.22 | s3phi|2 | so to "reset" the device i have to remove the battery :-/ |
| 01:32.38 | s3phi|2 | and plug it in again |
| 01:32.39 | matt_ | how come you dont have a reset button ? |
| 01:32.43 | matt_ | did it break |
| 01:32.47 | s3phi|2 | yea >_ |
| 01:32.49 | s3phi|2 | >_> |
| 01:32.53 | matt_ | ahh |
| 01:33.15 | s3phi|2 | ahh ... ? |
| 01:33.17 | matt_ | you could try holding the button down while plugging in the battery |
| 01:33.30 | s3phi|2 | yes |
| 01:33.56 | s3phi|2 | ok i got it |
| 01:34.03 | s3phi|2 | i got the boot> prompt |
| 01:34.03 | matt_ | you got boot> ? |
| 01:34.05 | matt_ | yay |
| 01:34.12 | matt_ | ok try |
| 01:34.13 | matt_ | load root |
| 01:34.16 | matt_ | wait No |
| 01:34.19 | matt_ | lol |
| 01:34.25 | s3phi|2 | that's the same i did before :) |
| 01:34.26 | matt_ | boot> boot |
| 01:34.48 | s3phi|2 | ok i'm doing it but i fear it will have the same effect ... |
| 01:35.11 | matt_ | what did you flash to your pda ? |
| 01:35.29 | s3phi|2 | tux, and the usual line ... |
| 01:35.38 | s3phi|2 | what did i flash ? |

| 01:45.00 | matt_ | could do |
| 01:45.14 | matt_ | or you could reflash the opie image using load root |
| 01:48.39 | s3phi|2 | ok i'll try to reflash opie's image |
| 01:49.19 | s3phi|2 | then if it won't works i'll try a gpe image ... even if i think since opie and gpe are like desktop manager the problem should not be in one of them .. |
