I've updated the distro feeds, please run "dist-upgrade" from the console.
dist-upgrade works great, but I had a couple of problems.

1. The security module kept asking for the pin number whilst the upgrade was trying to calibrate, I eventually had to ssh in from my main box, remove security and reboot the collie.

I should have been more clear. By "console" I meant the VT (ie: exit Opie / GPE)

Quote
2. dist-upgrade does not respect user alterations, it re-installed packages that I had removed, and it changed my decorative settings back to default.

Interesting. Sounds like some hentges-* packages do not like beeing reinstalled  
Thanks for spotting it, I'll have a look.

Could you give me an example which packages were re-installed after you had removed them?

Hi CoreDump,
  Thanks for the work on Poodle. I flashed this new image and I'm sure it works fine, but on first boot, I get the pop up asking me what I want to do with the detected SD card, but it is too big for the screen and is immovible. I can't seem to use the arrow keys or tab to get to the "OK" button to make it go away. Any ideas?

Thanks,
   ennui719

Well, what can I say. This bug in Opie is driving me [span style=\'font-size:21pt;line-height:100%\']NUTS[/span].

The simple hack I used was to include a copy of '.opiestorage.cf' in your hentges-xxx.rootfs.tar.gz  

Your dist-upgrade works very well for me.

Thanks

Heh good one  
That however fails as soon as the user has a second partition on that card (which will be mounted as /media/card and OF COURSE trigger this blasted bug)

The worst part is that Hentges already had a work-around for this idiocy in place, which somehow stopped working about a year ago *sigh*.

I guess I'll use some udev magic to install ".opiestorage.cf" where needed.

EDIT:

By the way, the next upgrade will pull in a working auto-fsck of the rootfs on boot for Poodle and Spitz.

Can you set up opie to not build medium-mount? As far as I can see it's used with the Doc Tab, which itself is not all that usefull....

PLEASE IGNORE THE BIT ABOUT PACKAGES. I speak much rubbish!!!! The bit about the decor is still OK.

Sorry

No worry, these packages were never intended to be re-installed so some breakage was to be expected.

For future reference: If you get hit by the medium-mount dialog bug do the following:

- Reset the machine
- Do not let the Opie GUI start but press a button during the 5 second window
- Login as "root" (no password)
- Enter "ipkg remove opie-mediummount" and hit return
- Launch Opie with "/etc/init.d/opie start"

I encountered the decor issue. I found that my external root home was no longer mounted as /home/root.

Got it back through an /etc/.<some hentges file> edition before some init script rerun. Can't remember which file, but I'm giving a clue.

The decor issue is planned for the next upgrade  
I'll also look at the extroot script.

FWIW, /media/root is beeing converted to /media/home/root. /media/home/ is then mounted as /home

Fresh images for all machines [a href=\"http://hentges.net/tmp/snapshots/Hentges-ROM/1.0.0/20061108/]are online[/url].

The images contain all updates from the hentges feeds. Also users running into Opies cursed medium-mount bug should be happy to hear that this bug should no longer occur with the new images.
EDIT: Well, at least on Poodle it should be gone...

I've also pushed a new upgrade into the feeds fxing the following bugs:

- altboots no longer prints modprobe / insmod messages on some machines
- The rootfs partition on Poodle and Collie is now automatcally fsck'ed on boot
- The root-partition on Poodle is no longer mounted twice
- The medium-mount bug of Opie should be history (thanks to hvontres)

Hello all,

I am having an issue flashing to the latest.

I have a Poodle PXA-250.

When I flash with the new kernel and put an opie-image-rootfs.bin in /media/card/boot-images/, it tells me that it flashes the kernel and that it cannot find a rootfs, "please reset".

When I reset it, it get a kernel panic - not syncing: No init found.

What have I done wrong?

Thanks,
Chuck
