Title: Updated Hentges Kernel On Poodle
Post by: simbaB on November 12, 2006, 12:28:31 pm
I see that there are altboot images and an updated kernel for Hentges on poodle, but no flash initrd images. How can I take advantage of the updated kernel while using altboot with an ext2 loop image on SD? If I just flash the new kernel it panics on boot saying it cannot mount the root partition on unknown-fs.

Hello,
I also couldn't flash it.
When I tried to install, the process that try to descompress gnu-tar, I think, shows me a messages like "permission denied" and stops the installation. I, and all poodle users, would like a little guide more detailed how to intall.
For example, I have a question, is it necessary to install from CF to SD ? Or can I have the kernel, update.sh ,etc .. on SD and install to SD ?

Thanks for all.

The new poodle images do not support booting off loop-files from SD. It used the SD card instead of NAND, so the SD card becomes your root partition w/o any altboot trickery.

The new kernel no longer offers support for root-on-NAND

Hello,

a good guidelines. Thanks.

I follows the instructions and I have the same results. Exactly the message is, after formating the SD , "Extracting sdimage1.tgz". This can take up to 30m! /tmp/updateupdater.sh: ./gnu-tar: permission denied".

I try to do from CF to SD, formating and not. And from SD without format, of course, :-). And I have always the same results.

Thanks for all,

Sounds like your CF is ext2 formatted and gnu-tar is missing the execute bit?

Edit: I'll chmod +x gnu-tar automatically in future versions of the updater

Hello,

you are right, that was the problem.
I've changed the permission of gnu-tar and now it is installing.

Thanks for your answers and your work,
