Opus Opus not booting

ixcoatl · 02-06-2010, 04:07 AM

Hi,

I have about one week with my opus device. Appart from the regular freezes and the lack of PDF reflow it was working fine.

Today I loaded a big PDF File, about 2MB, and tried to open it. After several minutes the reader gave me an error saying that it couldn't open the file.

I converted the document to ePUB and tries to load it to the device, but couldn't. I realized that the file sytem was in read only mode and the system log said that it has errors.

[ 2610.757537] FAT: Filesystem panic (dev sde)
[ 2610.757538] fat_get_cluster: invalid cluster chain (i_pos 2174692)

I ran

# fsck.vfat -a /dev/sdf

To fix it (since I'm using Ubuntu Linux) and it corrected the errors.

But when I disconnected the cable, the device couldn't boot. It keep flashing the screen with 3 dots and the Opus image.

I guess that this has to do with the filesystem corruption. The device appears like a USB drive when connected with the computer, so Im gessing that the electronics are in good shape. Pressing the reset buttun did no good.

Does any of you had have a similar problem?

Im going to plug it into a XP computer to see what happens, then I will format the internal partition.

I will keep you informed.

Thank you in advance and best regards.

Well I didn't have to format the partition. It seems to be that It was just the faulty ePub file causing the problem.

I just have to delete it.

Cheers!

You say that you have "regular freezes" - have you updated to the v2.0 firmware? That should solve the freezes that occurred with the older v1.9 firmware.

Like Harry said, you should update it with the 2.0 firmware and it should correct all of your problem..

I havent upgraded the device because I lack the micro SD card.

I will get one and perform the upgrade as soon as posible.

Tnaks you and cheers!
