After further test, I think the kernel is working, I can suspend/resume using the "cancel" button.
So how can debug my rootfs? I've plugged a serial console but I don't get any output from the Z...

Here is my local.conf:

DL_DIR = "${HOME}/oe/sources"
BBFILES := "${HOME}/oe/openembedded/packages/*/*.bb"
BBMASK = ""
PREFERRED_PROVIDERS = "virtual/qte:qte-for-opie virtual/libqpe:libqpe-opie"
PREFERRED_PROVIDERS += " virtual/libsdl:libsdl-qpe"
PREFERRED_PROVIDERS += " virtual/${TARGET_PREFIX}gcc-initial:gcc-cross-initial"
PREFERRED_PROVIDERS += " virtual/${TARGET_PREFIX}gcc:gcc-cross"

BBINCLUDELOGS = "yes"

ASSUMED_PROVIDED = "virtual/arm-linux-gcc-2.95"

This distro "should" give you the latest gpe packages and the new matchbox 0.9. Let me know if I can get a better updated packages version.

.... but the main issue is where is gpe???? :-(

Hi,

I've successfully built a new rootfs of OZ GPE 3.5.x for my SL-5600 including matchbox 0.9 and updated gpe packages (I've created a custom distro from openzarurus 3.5.3 and familiar 0.8.1).

It's the first time I'm using OE so please don't flame me... :-)

I've got the following under "tmp/deploy/images":
	-rw-r--r--  1 cedric users 13352960 Jan 10 16:07 gpe-image-poodle-20050110141435.rootfs.jffs2.bin
	-rw-r--r--  1 cedric users   984364 Jan 10 15:57 zImage-poodle-20050110141435.bin

I've renamed the two files to "zImage" and "initrd.bin" and flash them using the SL-5600 updater.sh from the OZ 3.5.2 release.
After a success flash, I'm getting the following during the boot process and that's it... no GPE... :-(

	RAMDISK: Couldn't find valid RAM disk image starting at 0.
	Freeing: initrd memory: 4096K
	VFS: Mounted root (jffs2 filesystem).
	Freeing init memory: 84K

The goal of this custom rom was to test the new updated packages and the SL-5600 kernel without the cache bug errata enabled.
Previously this, I've got the OZ GPE 3.5.2 release running perfectly...

Regards,
Ced.
