Title: newbie question
Post by: aereinha on October 29, 2004, 11:07:49 pm

ok here's my problem:
I have a 512 mb sd card that I want to link root to and be able to run 64-0 rom.  my problem is now when my zaurus freezes which is often cause of the cf card, I have to do a soft reset, after it reboots I loose all my symlinks that was on the root or whatever.  so after I do a reboot I have to do ipkg-link mount /mnt/card.  my question is how do I mount the card correctly so that this doesnt happen, and a good way to link root or whatever to the sd.  I have looked at various guides for the linking part but they are different and I really dont have much time being a college student so I want to do it once and be done with it.  
so again my questions are:
1.)  how do I get my sd card (it is formatted in ext2)to keep the symlinks.
2.) then how do I link my root correctly.

also has anyone fixed the cf card problem cause that would help me greatly.

Thanks in advance

The "missing library symlinks after a reboot" bug in OZ 3.5.1 is known and has been fixed in
recent builds.

To fix the problem, you can do

Code: [Select]

mv /etc/rc2.d/S04sd /etc/rcS.d/S38sd
(um actually, i'm not too sure about S04sd, it could be S02sd. I don't have a ROM to check ATM, sorry)

Bingo! I added the workaround to 3.5.1 Release Notes (http://www.openembedded.org/oe_wiki/index.php/OzReleaseNotes).
