Hey Guys!

I'm uploading with parallels and fedora...And it is not going well...

Is it normal to take ages to upload initfs.jffs2 ?

the VM looks looked but the USB icon is blinking (albeit slowly)...

I tried to use ubuntu with parallels (and Leopard) without success...

So how have been the process for you? Smother?

Ciao,

Mat

I don't think it took more than a second for initfs.jffs2 here.

Did you try the OSX flasher? or is that PPC only..

Flashing went great for me on my old Powerbook (with the 2.0 osx flasher), and with the 3.0 linux flasher on my Ubuntu desktop.

Which part do you get to?

This is how I flashed mine:

Turn off N800, disconnect power cable
plug in USB cable
hold home key while plugging in power cable
(keep holding home key until flashing starts)
./flasher-2.0.macosx -k zImage -f
./flasher-2.0.macosx -n initfs.jffs2 -f
./flasher-2.0.macosx -r rootfs.jffs2 -f -R

Unfortunately the mac command line flasher is PPC only and the terminal, even in rosetta mode, refuse to launch it (bad cpu type).

I don't understand the problems I'm having with parallels (ubutu and kubunt crashes of xserver during boot time; unable to install parallels addons in my Fedora VM, flasher with intfs.jffs2...)

btw I'm downloading the VMWare image (hopefully it will work, when converted, with parallels)

Yes, that file is PPC only (as mentioned in the same page) When we will have a universal binary??
