If I upgrade in this way, what is the lastest kernel version? 2.6 series?

I think your method should be what I am looking for, but I can not find any document from Zaurus web site at Sharp (they have a downloadable CD, but almost contains nothing, :-)). Could you refer some upgrade document please? for example, where/what to download and how to reload the new kernel. Thanks.

I have worked with Zaurus for a couple of months but I have never did such level of upgrade (any ROM upgrade) before.


regards,
George

George,

Not sure if someone else has already sent this to you, but I basically just
did the ROM upgrade like you normally do, i.e. I took the latest OZ 3.5.4.2
rc 2 I believe, and loaded it over top of my old 2.4 kernel.  It overwrote
the kernel and worked.  You don't need to do anything special that I am
aware of.  Just be aware that you could lose some settings (and possibly
data, not sure).

Hope this helps.

Robert

Hello everyone,


I have seached into Open Zaurus web site for some time, but can not still
find a complete tutorial for a beginner about how to upgrade Linux kernel
from 2.4 (default manufecture) to 2.6.

I do not want to do any advanced settings, default ones for Kernel are ok.

Any reference documents? Sorry for this stupid question.


thanks in advance,
George
