This probably isn't the right place to put this thread, but there isn't an "other" category.
I was going to try installing the 2006-04-28 preview, but I cannot find an initrd.bin .. the installation instructions mention it. * http://ewi546.ewi.utwente.nl/angstrom/unstable/images/akita/ * http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/c1000...ll-instructions |

There are four .img files to use. I tried Angstrom-gpe-image-test-20060428-akita.rootfs.img but it results in:
QUOTE Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(254,1) I'll try Angstrom-e-image-core-test-20060428-akita.rootfs.img [edit] That didn't work either. I'm not sure what's going on. |

I've not tried but my guess is this:
*Same file except in tar bz format/package? Angstrom-bootstrap-image-test-20060428-akita.rootfs.tar.bz2 Angstrom-e-image-core-test-20060428-akita.rootfs.tar.bz2 Angstrom-gpe-image-test-20060428-akita.rootfs.tar.bz2 Angstrom-opie-image-test-20060429-akita.rootfs.tar.bz2 *Rename *one* of following to initrd.bin Angstrom-bootstrap-image-test-20060428-akita.rootfs.img Angstrom-e-image-core-test-20060428-akita.rootfs.img Angstrom-gpe-image-test-20060428-akita.rootfs.img Angstrom-opie-image-test-20060429-akita.rootfs.img *no idea modules-2.6.16-akita.tgz updater.sh.akita ======> updater.sh zImage-2.6.16-akita-20060427232137.bin ==> zImage.bin |

I was using these three files:
zImage.bin updater.sh initrd.bin (renamed from Angstrom-e-image-core-test-20060428-akita.rootfs.img) I assume that this package is a little too alpha for me just now. =) |

The gpe file was the first one I tried. It didn't work.

GPE is GPE (gpe.handhelds.org)
Opie is Opie (opie.handhelds.org) e is Enlightenment (no idea where off the top of my head) modules-2.6.16-akita.tgz contains kernel modules, as there's no feed for this atm iirc. QUOTE The gpe file was the first one I tried. It didn't work. Did you check the md5sums for all the files to make sure nothing was corrupted? Si |

Good point. I've just asked someone to sort this out.

The instructions will be largely the same as for the OpenZaurus installation (as both use bitbake and the openembedded metadata to produce the files).
See here: http://wiki.openzaurus.org/Install Si |

See here: http://wiki.openzaurus.org/Install Si I'm having the same problem trying to install Angstrom. Kernel panic I renamed everything correctly and got it from the akita folder under /tmp/Angstrom on the ewi mirror. Has this problem been solved? |

It took me some time to find them, but apparently the images have been updated. Therein, I see a very recent build for the akita.
I'll check it out soon. The installation instructions remain unchanged, so it looks like the images I was using before were bad. http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/c1000...ll-instructions http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/unstable/images/ http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/unsta...20060813/akita/ |
