Re: OpenZaurus 3.5.4.1 Alpha1 release

I have installed the GPE version of this preliminary release on my akita 
and it looks like a good start.

Problems:

1. Suspend -- you can suspend the machine, but once you do, you can't 
reawaken it. I tried this both via the 'suspend' item on the system menu 
and by pushing the power button. Recovery is possible only by removing 
the battery and rebooting.
2. System time-keeping -- this is completely haywire. Each time you 
reboot, it resets the date/time to 3/20/2006 and sometime in the early 
morning. Perhaps the date/time the system was built?
3. /etc/fstab -- fstab has entries for mounting an SD card for both the 
2.4 and 2.6 kernels, the 2.4 occurring first. Why include that in a 
system that is shipping with a 2.6 kernel. I commented it out.
4. SD card -- commenting out the 2.4 SD card entry in fstab did not help 
with the main problem. I have a .5 Gbyte Kingston SD card with an ext2 
(maybe ext3? I don't remember) filesystem on it. This card works fine 
with pdaxrom. This release will not mount it. However, if, instead, I 
insert the fat16-formatted card I used to flash the system, it mounts 
that card correctly on /media/card.

Good news:

1. Wireless works -- D-Link DCF-660W.
2. The system feels snappy, much crisper than the 2.4-based pdaxrom, 
though admittedly I haven't used it much.

Again, good start, folks. I will submit the problems listed above as bug 
reports.
