1) Replace the batteries. 2) Make *sure* you have fresh batteries. 3) Quadruple check that you took those batteries from the right bin!!! 4) Take out your DVM and make sure the voltages are high on those brand new batteries. 5) Well????? 6) Check the md5 sum by running md5sums on pmon.binary, and make sure it matches the pmon.binary.md5sum in this directory. 7) Take our your DVM again, and check those batteries. 8) Go back to step one, and repeat the whole process at least 4 times. 9) Run: vrflash -lD pmon.binary 0xc00000 10) Hard reset the machine after it's done. Check that the version string matches up with 3.2.0. If it doesn't, then check the capture.log that was generated by vrflash. You may have to unlock the PMON blocks by hand if you locked them at one point. 11) Hard reset the machine. 12) Flash the kernel image like usual, but with one exception, flash it compressed. vrflash -l vmlinux.binary.gz kernel 13) Hard reset the machine, the initial portion of the boot will take a little longer because it has to decompress the kernel. 14) Try to send me some little write up, just a return reciept that it worked would be fine. Enjoy!!! Shane Nay. ------------------------------ Notes from DJ: Read http://www.delorie.com/agenda/sdrampak/ The kernel must be compressed, but you may need to simply rename it to not have ".gz" to fool some vrflash utilities into *thinking* it's not compressed. Use a SNOW romdisk. In fact, upgrade to SNOW *before* trying this, so that you don't have to manually restore defaults (the procedure is different, and vrflash won't do it for you).
