Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Altboot Opie Hangs On Bootsplash

« on: August 11, 2006, 08:08:43 pm »

I'm trying to setup a loop-image opie 3.5.4.1 on my ext2-formated 1gb SD card.  
Flashed 3.5.4.1 opie, then I used altboot to setup a loop-image, it installed with no problem.  But while the loop-image is booting, the OZ bootsplash comes up, I do an ALT+Left to see the boot messages.  Then, right after it goes "Press any key to interrupt... 5 4 3 2 1... Starting opie" it goes back to the "Press ALT+Left to see boot messages" screen and hangs.  No response even from unlocking the battery cover.

I formated SD card with FAT, reinstalled loop-image from rootfs.tar.gz, same thing.  The same loop-image works on my FAT-formated CF card.  Direct-install on SD works likes a charm.  Same results on another SD card I have.  No problems at all with GPE.

So here's a summary, opie hangs on bootsplash, happens only on a opie loop-image on SD card formated with FAT or ext2.  

Bad SD cards?  Anyone else encountered the same problem?  Please help.

1.- There are still a couple of things that I need to look into, like wget not working...
2.- The gps being recognized once only after a reboot.

1.- Try ipkg install wget The wget form busybox lake parameters.
2.- Try killall gpsd when the card does not work. My GPS card is Globalsat BC-307. It can have it's own troubles...

2. the problem disappeared, but if it happens again I'll try your suggestion.

1. I did do "ipkg install wget", it relinked wget from the busybox version to wget.wget in my /usr/bin/.
After that, "ipkg update" or any "ipkg install" wouldn't work, downmap wouldn't work either.  
If I do "wget [a href=\"http://ewi546.ewi.utwente.nl/mirror/www.openzaurus.org/official/unstable/3.5.4//feed/upgrades/Packages.gz"]http://ewi546.ewi.utwente.nl/mirror/www.op...ckages.gz"[/url],
I'd get "Resolving ewi546.ewi.utwente.nl... 130.89.145.130
Connecting to ewi546.ewi.utwente.nl[130.89.145.130]:80... failed: Address family not supported by protocol."

I searched google and this forum and found the error to have many causes, most unrelated to my setup.  So I don't know what's going on, I might try downmap on a desktop and transfer the maps over to my Z...

I did exactly as you described and I got it to work!  There are still a couple of things that I need to look into, like wget not working and the gps being recognized once only after a reboot, but I'm very happy that my gps works.  Thank you so much paganoll, you saved my Z from the back of the closet!

Hi, I'm trying to install gpsd for qpegps from the 3.5.4 feed on my poodle running OZ 3.5.4, but it gives a segmentation fault every time I try to run it.  I've tried installing it to different locations (home, root, sd), but all seg faults.  What's wrong, am I missing something?
