Ubuntu / Does Planex Gw-cf11x Card Work On Zubuntu?

« on: January 14, 2009, 10:27:37 am »

It's very bizarre that the package hostap-utils_0.4.7-1_arm.deb didn't contains /usr/sbin/prism2_srec !

I use the following hostap-utils package :

WOW~! It works~! Thanks Jeana.

Thanks Jeana,

I follow your setting, but I got error when executing "ifup wlan0" :

/bin/sh: /usr/sbin/prism2_srec: No such file or directory

I have installed hostap-utils_0.4.7-1_arm.deb. What can I do next to make it works?

Ubuntu / Does Planex Gw-cf11x Card Work On Zubuntu?

« on: January 07, 2009, 11:01:31 am »

Hi,

I have spent a lot of time to make my Planex GW-CF11X card works on Zubuntu. I did try all the methods mentioned here and the comments on Omegamoon blog, but still fail...

Methods I tried:
1. Install Wicd Network Manger => I can run it on x window, but the card cannot be detected
2. Install Hostap Utils
3. blacklist onrinoco
    blacklist onrinoco_cs

Does anyone use the same card and get connected WIFI with Zubuntu ? Please share the steps. Thanks.

i have tried this using my 3100, but i found the following traps

a/ the boot menu options are different: it has no (Internal Flash Experiment) option, only the CF option is displayed (the internal CF)

b/ when i choose this option the kernel was trapped by saying "Warning: unable to open an initial console".

it seems like there should be a step on flashing the Internal installation on the Zubuntu. Please advise for any extra steps involved. Thz.

a. The internal version is only experimental. The method provided by Cortez at the moment install the distro in SD only. In fact, afaik, the multiboot kernel will search any valid partition (SD, CF, internal HDD or even internal mem block) with valid boot image/kernel command/description within /boot. So it is only up to you where to place the distros.

b. For the initial console issue as well as rtc one could be solved as advised by suggested in Cortez's blog:

Booting in the emergency system, mounting the zubuntu root file system, changing to /dev and there doing:

Code: [Select]

mknod -m 660 console c 5 1
mknod -m 660 null c 1 3
mknod -m 660 rtc c 10 135

I have the zubuntu system on a 4G SD card, but the big SD card cannot be detected in the emergency system.

Fatty, sent original spitz multiboot kernel via PM here on OESF

EDIT:
I haven't tried the latest release, I'll download it now. (I've been at another forum reading about ripping/saving blu-ray discs)

Thanks JonJ! Flashed and is much faster! Since the description is not a must, I'll keep using the old one.

BTW, any Pretec WIFI CF user able to bring up wifi under Zubuntu? With the new patches, my card is recognized as wlan0 (from dmesg), but I failed to bring up the interface and the CF keeps blinking. The CF works under Debian as eth1.

Fatty, I got the same problem as your first post. Does the original spitz multibook kernal fix those problems?
If yes, please send me a copy of the kernal. My Planex GW-CF11X also fail to load...

Debian / A Clean, Fresh, Configured Eabi Rootfs Tarball

I can't get /mnt/cf to unmount

Code: [Select]

umount /mnt/cf
umount: /mnt/cf: Device or resource busy

umount -f /mnt/cf
umount: forced umount of /dev/hda1 failed!
is there some magic I'm missing?

It seems some people got the same issue.
I want to know what step I missed or the guild not covered..  
I follow the wiki guild Q18 to install Debian Eabi on my 3200 internal drive.  All steps run smooth, just stop after the line of "unable to open an initial console"

Can someone help me ...

I got the error mentioned here:

https://www.oesf.org/index.php?title=Q18:_I...ternal_drive%3F

about the initial console error.

When I booted into emergency system, I wanted to do this:

   mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/cf
   cd /mnt/cf/dev
   MAKEDEV console

but I could not:

first - it's already mounted as /mnt/cf as ext3 - that's ok

when I try to do ls -al /mnt/cf - it freezes without doing anything.

after this I tried

umount /mnt/cf

but I got "Device or resource busy"


Looks there isn't even /dev/hda1 ! only /dev/hda.

I'm getting this behaviour for the second time  it's happening only under emergency system. Under the initial B+D - it works ok.

Does anyone knows some way to fix this? Seems I cannot even install debian  I'm not talking about testing it ...

UBOOT emergency has a bug that you mentioned. For C3x00, the internel disk (hda1) seems to be recognized as cf card, and the disk partition information disappears. Whenever I entered into the emergency mode, I repartitioned the internel disk to recover the partition information. Fortunately, all data are not destroyed.

I also got this problem.. Could you give me hint/command how to repartition the internal disk under uboot and make it works?

When I do fdisk /dev/hda
I got "Segmentation fault"
