**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Mar 26 02:59:58 2011 Mar 26 03:08:43 Ok, couple of issues. Mar 26 03:09:08 The big one being every so often, the partition I've got angstrom on on the card just gets mostly wiped. Mar 26 03:09:24 Nothing else Mar 26 03:09:29 pfft Mar 26 03:09:44 don't format this /usr and /bin are left. Mar 26 03:09:50 nothing else Mar 26 03:28:30 is the sd card bad? Mar 26 03:28:59 also try running e2fsck on it Mar 26 03:29:06 http://atccss.net Mar 26 03:29:19 go read the linux quick tips doc in projects Mar 26 03:36:28 sd card's fine. Not sure what's going on. Mar 26 03:38:02 grrr Mar 26 03:38:12 Ok I keep losing my mount point on the second partition on the card. Mar 26 03:38:20 While it's in my desktop. Mar 26 03:38:38 if your not unmounting before removal Mar 26 03:38:42 there is ur issue Mar 26 03:41:01 There's something glitchy about mounting and unmounting I think. Works fine if I unmount the ext2 partition. Mar 26 03:41:13 It's if I unmount the fat16 partition that it gets all messed up. Mar 26 03:41:35 Ok.... now just palm weirdness. Mar 26 03:42:00 I can get into the boot loader and tell it to boot.... seems to stick on 'loading zImage.... xxx b ok. Mar 26 03:44:09 ok, try to edit fstab and it comes up read only. Mar 26 03:44:11 grrrr Mar 26 03:46:42 ugh because I made it root Mar 26 03:47:26 I'm wondering if this is my problem: Mar 26 03:47:27 rootfs / auto defaults 1 1 Mar 26 03:47:32 First line of my fstab. Mar 26 03:47:55 Wondering if that rootfs should be the label of my sdcard. Mar 26 03:48:04 repartition it Mar 26 03:48:09 fat16 partition first Mar 26 03:48:18 Ok that's how it already is. Mar 26 03:48:22 o Mar 26 03:48:23 nvm Mar 26 03:48:25 heh Mar 26 03:48:38 Should I change that rootfs to /dev/sde2? Mar 26 03:48:51 Or the label for that partition? Mar 26 03:50:05 eh what? Mar 26 03:50:14 ur confusion just confused me Mar 26 03:50:23 That line. Starts with rootfs. Mar 26 03:50:26 rootfs / auto defaults 1 1 Mar 26 03:50:37 So rootfs is defined as /. Mar 26 03:50:43 just / Mar 26 03:50:48 Should I be defining that partition as / instead? Mar 26 03:51:10 Device Mount Point Filesystem etc. Mar 26 03:51:22 Ok, it's referring to a device that doesn't actually exist.... Mar 26 03:52:27 So rather, /dev/sde2 / auto defaults 1 1 Mar 26 04:01:38 crap Mar 26 04:01:41 That's right. Mar 26 04:01:52 Ok, rootfs should be replaced with that partitions UUID. Mar 26 04:01:55 Right? Mar 26 04:09:41 uuid is not the easy way of doing it Mar 26 04:10:11 we can assume that just because your pc sees that card as /dev/sde that doesnt mean the palm does Mar 26 04:10:22 At the moment it's looking like the easiest way I have available. Mar 26 04:10:24 Right. Mar 26 04:10:24 it will show up as a /dev/mmc device Mar 26 04:10:32 Hence the UUID which doesn't change. Mar 26 04:10:57 What would you use? Mar 26 04:11:52 Partition label? Mar 26 04:13:51 /dev/mmcb1k0 Mar 26 04:13:57 is what my ipaq is using Mar 26 04:14:14 # uncomment this if your device has a SD/MMC/Transflash slot Mar 26 04:14:14 #/dev/mmcblk0p1 /media/card auto defaults,sync,noauto 0 0 Mar 26 04:14:23 I've got that in the fstab on the sdcard. Mar 26 04:14:30 yea thats most likely what u need to do Mar 26 04:14:40 But that's not going to mount the card as / Mar 26 04:14:46 That's going to mount it as /media/card Mar 26 04:14:48 change it to /dev/mmcblk0p1 / Mar 26 04:14:54 ok Mar 26 04:14:54 or p2 Mar 26 04:14:56 idk Mar 26 04:15:02 I can try the uuid if that doesn't work. Mar 26 04:15:06 p2? Mar 26 04:15:06 k Mar 26 04:15:15 well theres either p1 and p2 Mar 26 04:15:21 or theres p0 and p1 Mar 26 04:15:26 to start partition count Mar 26 04:15:27 ;) Mar 26 04:15:34 ah Mar 26 04:16:40 Dunno if it crashed this time or not yet. Mar 26 04:16:44 Shouldn't take very long. Mar 26 04:16:59 ...of course it's a pda so it's not like it gives me, I dunno.... LOGS or anything. :P Mar 26 04:18:09 lol Mar 26 04:19:24 Ok. Bootloader finds the zImage I put on the fat16 partition. Mar 26 04:19:36 Complains that /initrd.gz not found. Which makes sense because there isn't one. Mar 26 04:19:50 Command line: init=/linuxrc quiet Mar 26 04:20:03 Which shouldn't work anyway because there's no linuxrc. Mar 26 04:20:38 ok sounds like ur bootloader needs to be configured to not use initrd.gz Mar 26 04:20:58 it shouldn't be trying anyway. That line is commented out. Mar 26 04:21:03 it is optional no mater the system Mar 26 04:21:05 In the .conf file. Mar 26 04:21:10 layout determines requirement of it Mar 26 04:21:24 odd Mar 26 04:22:02 Maybe I need to generate an initrd.gz or linuxrc? Mar 26 04:22:18 read above ^ Mar 26 04:22:28 Yeah I know. Shouldn't need it. Mar 26 04:22:36 then its a bootloader issue Mar 26 04:22:42 And if I had a nickel for every time 'it shouldn't matter....' Mar 26 04:22:50 hehe Mar 26 04:22:59 everyday we learn Mar 26 04:23:01 :) Mar 26 04:23:03 True. Mar 26 04:23:22 Ok, I think the bootloader is still an openembedded project. Mar 26 04:23:24 Cocoboot. Mar 26 04:24:04 i dont have a palm to test Mar 26 04:24:16 nods Mar 26 18:53:01 !log Mar 26 18:53:07 !logs Mar 26 18:53:09 Channel logs for #angstrom are archived at: Mar 26 18:53:10 http://hentges.net/tmp/logs/irc/%23angstrom Mar 26 18:53:11 Live-logs are available at Mar 26 18:53:12 http://hentges.net/tmp/logs/irc/livelogs/%23angstrom.livelog Mar 26 18:53:13 See ?? help-logs for usage instructions Mar 26 18:56:11 hi, is there another x86 image beside qemux86?
