Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Wireless Not Working 3.5.4.2

My wireless card does not seem to get recognized in the latest Hentges release.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Altboot Problem

« on: September 29, 2006, 11:18:22 pm »

Thanks for that.

I've loaded the images from the ext2 directory into the /media/card/boot-images directory (and verified the md5sums).  During boot-up the mount of the card works fine, but the mount of the image file fails ('wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock...').

I've also tried mounting one of the *rootfs.ext2.gz files on my Linux machine as well as on the Zaurus with the same result as above.

Here is the mount command I'm using:

"mount opie.ext2.gz /mnt/something -o loop -t ext2"

The mountpoint exists.
I've tried with and without the -t parameter.

I've uncompressed the gz file and verified that IT will mount as an EXT2 image.

What I'm trying to accomplish is to have both GPE and OPIE avaiable on the same card.

How do you mount a compressed ext2 with the mount command in busybox?

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Altboot Problem

« on: September 27, 2006, 11:20:50 pm »

The SD card gets mounted just fine. It seems that FSCK fails while trying to check the rootfs file before it trys to mount it.

Now here is where I am confused by the conflicting information I've seen regarding altboot.

The cardfs files from Hentges seem to be just compressed tar files. I thought that the cardfs files needed to be ext2 formatted binary disk images that could then get mounted as a loop file. Am I wrong?

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Altboot Problem

I'm having trouble getting altboot to work with compressed cardfs files. I'm trying to use the latest Hentges release on my 5600.

Perhaps I don't fully understand how to set it up correctly, so maybe someone can point out the error(s) I'm making.

1) I extracted the bootstrap initrd.bin, zImage, and updater and copied it to a blank SD card and then flashed my Poodle.

2) I used a second empty SD formatted as ext2 and created a directory named 'boot-images'. Into that directory I copied:
     cardfs-gpe-poodle-openzaurus_oz3.5.4.2-rc2-gpe2.7-T1-RC1.bin
     cardfs-opie-poodle-openzaurus_oz3.5.4.2-rc2-opie1.2.1-T1-RC1.bin

    I discovered by reading the /etc/alboot.func file that boot images must be named
    '*-rootfs.bin', so I renamed the two files using that suffix.

4) When I boot the system, I get the altboot menu and select 3 for booting off SD.

5) It then displays a menu showing the two rootfs choices from above. I pick one (say Opie).

6) I get an error from fsck that says 'bad magic number in super-block...' and then fails.

Is it something I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,
radioz

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Altboot Problem?

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!

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Altboot Problem?

« 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

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Hentges 3.5.4.2 Rcs Available

« on: September 21, 2006, 11:47:51 am »

Coredump:

I can't get the Poodle version of Opie to boot. I used the contents from 'hentges-opie-image-poodle_T1-RC1.tar.gz' along with the updater.sh. After flashing and resetting, the power led goes out and the screen remains blank.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
radioz

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Rc2 Opie On Poodle?

« on: September 19, 2006, 06:29:21 pm »

I tried installing OZ/Opie RC2 in the usual way and my Poodle boots up to the Opie screen that says 'press screen to continue' and then does not respond.

Has anyone else gotten RC2 to run on a Poodle?

I was careful to delete /home before installation. Is there anything else that I need to do?

I'd really like to try it out!

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Installing To Sd - Double Slash Problem?

« on: May 03, 2006, 12:43:49 pm »

In 3.5.3 I had a similar problem with an SD card that had 2 partitions. The problem then was that the /etc/sdcontrol (I think; I don't have it in front of me) script was not very smart about which partition to use. I think it has to do with which partition is mounted to /media/card vs /media/card1.

Do a 'df' to see if both partitions got mounted. Maybe you could change ipkg.conf so that the 'SD' specifier pointed to the correct partition.

good luck,
radioz

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Altboot For Poodle?

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Altboot For Poodle?

« on: April 30, 2006, 01:01:23 am »

All:

I don't seem to have enough space to do an ipkg upgrade on a fresh 3.5.4 install on my Poodle. Am I doing something wrong?

Is altboot available for the Poodle? Am I correct in assuming that by using altboot I can put root on SD so ipkg would not fill up /dev/mtdblock2?

Has anyone built a cardfs for Poodle yet? I see that they are available for Collie.

(sorry for so many questions)
