Well, I have just experienced a similar result. I have a 5000D running
3.3.5, and did not move /root (or any other directory), nor did I assign
a root password (hadn't gotten there yet). I did, however, install bash
and the modified (updated?) library necessary for getting opieplayer2 to
work. Last I checked, none of my filesystems were full, or any other
such problems (though please let me know if there are specific checks to
be made).
Prior to the last suspend, I had mediaplayer2 running; I did not close
it down before suspending. Then, earlier today, I resumed (maybe 24
hours since the suspend). Immediately, there was a dialog box telling me
that opieplayer2 had been terminated due to a SIGSEV (I believe that's
what it was, but unfortunately I was no where near a pad of paper to
write the message down on).
At this point, the Zaurus became totally unresponsive--nothing doing.
So, I flipped the switch on the back to "Replace Battery", waited for
the screen to go totally blank, flipped it back, and turned it on. At
this point, I get:
(none) login:
As soon as I enter "root", I get:
login: cannot run /bin/sh: No such file or directory
I plan on re-flashing, though I don't think I'll be adding bash back...
