Title: Altboot Problem?
Post by: radioz on September 25, 2006, 08:54:37 pm
I'm having a problem trying to use Altboot with the latest OZ build.

I've installed a rootfs on my SD card. When I use altboot to try to start up it seems to pivot-root onto the SD card ok, but before the Opie touch screen calibration has a chance to start, it 'notices' that a new SD card is installed and up pops a dialog asking about scanning the card for files (or something; I'm reporting this from memory, I don't have my Poodle handy).

The dialog box that comes up is not sized correctly for a 5x00 device (it is way too big to fit on the screen). In addition, it is requiring the use of the touch screen at a point before the touch screen has been calibrated.

Has anyone else seen this? Is there a way to force this to be skipped so I can get Opie running?

Thanks,

radioz

Thanks for the latest build Coredump, that cleared up my altboot problem.

One request: Could you provide a bootstrap initrd so I can altboot to my SD card?

I used the initrd from the Opie install. It works fine, but I'd like to free up the space.

Thanks so much for your efforts!

Sure, bootstrap images should be online in about 10hrs
