which thread are you referring to? "my" bootloader, the patched one?
please be very sure you update by using update.exe. best is if you take the updatekit from my site hpcmonex.net
which zaurus did you make packages for?!
I mean this newbie thread:

If I understand it correctly, it's necessary to check out the correct version of your bootloader here:
http://hpcmonex.net/nec900/download.php
I have a SL-C860 and a SL-C3200, both clamshell models like the MP and the Jornada, and being even more compact plus a convertible mechanism like the tablet PCs. For the 3200, I've replaced the original 6GB microdrive with a Sandisk Extreme III 16GB CF and put a full-blown Debian
(armel
) on it. Most things work the same way as on the laptops. Kinda ultra-umpc
("uumpc"!?
). I was doing dozens of packages for a distro called pdaXrom at one time, and now doing some amateur work on finetuning and customizing Debian on the Zaurus, and some unofficial packages
(patched or missing in the repos
). Here is a dedicated forum:
http://www.oesf.org/forum/index.php?showforum=155
C860 has a XScale PXA255 400 MHz CPU and 64MB SDRAM, exactly the same as MP900.
C3200 sports a newer PXA270 416 MHz CPU and the same SDRAM, plus an additional internal microdrive besides the SD and CF slots and the USB host port.
The Zaurus has already been officially supported by OpenBSD and Debian.
I have high hope of MP900. Being an ARM machine, it definitely deserves a vibrant life in Linux.
I am also curious to see if the MP900 can serve as my "Eee replacement". The Eee is very good indeed, but if I can get something smaller
(but bigger than the Zaurus
) and with longer battery runtime and capable of running a stable enough but standard environment then it will work just do the job.
