Title: Cacko 1.22 Unable To Boot Into Gui
Post by: ajnk on January 28, 2005, 04:41:49 am

Dear All,

Hope you can help me dig myself out of this whole.  I am running a C860 with Cacko 1.22 - I put the PC Link into memory card rather than network mode.  I had some problem so restarted the system, now it can't boot the GUI.  I am presuming this is bacause the system can no longer see the SD card onto which everything but the base ROM is installed.

Symptoms :-

Systems boot, but when going to runlevel five the Cacko splash screen comes up, but the GUI crashes saying it cannot find some libraries (which I presume are on the SD card).

Help requested :-

Can I interupt the boot so I can get to runlevel 3 ?

What do I need to change to make the SD card visible again i.e. put PC Link back into network mode ?

As always any help is appreciated.

Regards
AJNK

Before the gui starts you should see a 5 second countdown, hit the / key during this time and you get a prompt asking whether to boot qtopia or console. choose "a" and you will be in console mode.

You can then change the pc link back to network mode (/etc/hotplug/usbd.ftype - should contain "net")

Otherwise you can try the D+B keykombo to boot into maintanence mode (same as booting to D+M except you use D+
