side note:

Quote from: ZDevil
Have you already extracted everything (rootfs, kernel modules, after installation) *before* installing uboot?

If yes, then you don't need to touch /mnt/cf at all.  If you choose "no" to the question,
simply do this (suppose the yonggun kernel (renamed to kernel.img) and the autoboot.sh are on SD; actually they should be there):
Code: [Select]
cd /mnt/card
./autoboot.sh
The flashing goes really fast (just a couple of seconds!) and then it will tell you it starts rebooting. Press [2] all along until you see things are booting properly (like mounting the rootfs from /dev/hda1 to /).

And yes, the current uboot has this strange problem. I got it too. And nobody told me why and there seems nothing has been said in the posts. That's why I emphasized that we have to install the rootfs before installing everything else.
I guess the problem is you can't read an ext3 file system from the emergency system.

BTW : if nothing works after trying to install uboot or flashing the kernel, there is absolutely no need to do a nand-restore !! Just try to install uboot again and then to flash the kernel again. A nand-restore before installing uboot is a terrible waste of time.

jpmatrix : your /etc/fstab is virgin, too ? like the /etc/network/interfaces ?

i'm fearing to look at other critical /etc .... network/interfaces.... it's fine to be virgin (but   iface lo ... should be there !)

but fstab ...

yes,
don't worry, your system can boot without it

now you can customize it with something like :

/dev/hda1 / ext3 rw 1 1
/dev/hda2 /none swap sw 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
/dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt/card noauto defaults 0 0
/dev/hdc1 /mnt/cf noauto defaults 0 0

that's what i was about to do...

question : in your /etc/apt/sources.list,   you have "deb http://armel-debs.appliedata.net/debian sid main

if yes, does it failed when you apt-get update because it doesn't find "Package.gz" ? me yes, got a 404 error.

the other,   ftp.gnuab.org   works.

I'm using these :
deb http://ftp.easynet.be/ftp/gnuab/debian sid main
deb http://ftp.easynet.be/ftp/gnuab/debian unreleased main
and they didn't let me down in the last couple of days ...
http://armel-debs.appliedata.net/debian seems to be down every now and again.

Don't panic. I've put down TWO locations in sources.list. And they point to exactly the same set of files. Either one will work. If one fails, apt-get install is smart enough to pull things from the other.

Now I am switching my C860 from OABI to EABI, and am going to run both scripts. So I can tell what works and what doesn't.

i've got a problem, after   apt-get dist-upgrade  +  reboot

it seems it comes from start-stop-deamon    (i have put the  st-st-daemon.REAL in /sbin/ )
while booting :

starting crond: /etc/rc2.d/S89cron: line 24: 985 Segmentation fault      start-stop-deamon --start --quit --pidfile /var/run/crond.pid --name conr --starbtas /us/sin/cron --$LSBNAMES   failed


AND : is there a way to avoid the automatic startup on a wrong partition that gives me a VFS error while kernel panic, such as debian become the "n°1" ... and so, not have to press "2" every time   (cause every time, i forget, have to pull out battery, and now with uboot, when i plug battery, no wait for the battery cover and clip-button ... the zaurus starts immediatly. that's awful...)
