I was using the old Sharp ROM on my Z and decided to flash it to the Openzaurus 3.2 (which I have used before without problems). I downloaded the 2 files, I chose the 48/16 image. I renamed the zImage file and proceed to flash my Z. Everything seemed to Flash okay but after I pressed reset and turned on my Z I got thousands of errors stating TAR Bad Header and then thousands of other errors stating ERROR /some/file/ cannot open the file. Then I get an INIT Id "ln" respawning too fast disabled for 5 minutes then it starts all over again. I suspect the download somehow became corrupt. I tried reflashing my Z back to the OSPACK but that is not working either. I have reformatted my card (FAT) and tried numerous times but each time it will not flash. Both lights light up for a few seconds then disappear and I am unable to get the ROM re-flashed. Any ideas how I can get a working Zaurus again? Thanks, Nick
