First I flashed away the good old Cacko with an original Sharp Rom to get the original flash partitioning back, afterwards I followed instruction from http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/zaurus-c7x0-c8x0 to flash the latest angstrom image. The files I used were Angstrom-x11-image-glibc-test-20070605-c7x0.rootfs.summary.jffs2 zImage-2.6.20-c7x0-20070605084706.bin I used the summary image just because it was larger. :-) perhaps I got something extra? Is the difference between summary and non-summary root fs documented anywhere? ... Booted nicely, Touch screen calibrated and it seems to work so far. Furthermore it looks very, very stylish! Good work guys! Sound doesn´t work here either, at least it seems so, even when alsamixer looks ok. Anyway: a big thank you!
