[Voyage-linux] Installation
Hello Punky, Is it possible to install Voyage MPD to a USB memory stick? I have a PC having a mSata and a SSD. When i compared the sound of USB stick with Msata i would find USB stick is better. I think that mSata is operating in high frequency that will make much noise. I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

[Voyage-linux] Installation problem with VoyageMPD 0.10.0 - install stuck
Hello Voyage Users, I use a mini PC - Fujitsu Futro s450 ( http://sp.ts.fujitsu.com/dmsp/Publications/public/ds-FUTRO-S450-2.pdf) with newest avalable BIOS - as audio player. Till today I've used VoyageMPD 0.9.5 which works perfectly. A few days ago I decided to upgrade it to newest version 0.10.0. I made a bootable pendrive, tested it on "big" PC. Everything was OK. Then put it into Futro. To my surprise I saw only black screen and flashing cursor in top right corner. Instalation didn't start. Precisely started (LED on pen started to blink) but stuck. Using the same pandrive and the same method of making it bootable with version 0.9.5 I haven't any problems. Have You any ideas what is a reason? Any ideas what to test or try? -- Regards Tom ___ Voyage-linux mailing list Voyage-linux@list.voyage.hk http://list.voyage.hk/mailman/listinfo/voyage-linux

[Voyage-linux] Installation for CF/flash and classic HDD, aufs/unionfs
I have an Alix2d13 and want it to boot from CF and then use a HDD,
external USB HDD, for directories that either receives frequent writes
or needs much space. My candidates are /usr, /var, /tmp and /home.
With this setup I do not think I would need the default Voyage
directory synchronisation, nor any tmpfs linked to these directories.
The most elegant solution would likely be an overlay file system such
as aufs or unionfs, but even after looking through most of the Voyage
scripts I am not certain how to accomplish this.
I ran a simple test, creating the /usr and /var directories on a HDD,
copying the contents from CF to it and making simple symlinks from CF
to the new locations ('ln -s /media/hdd/var /var'), it works but I
imagine that an overlay solution would be more elegant. With my quick
fix the usual Voyage scripts keep working as if it was all on a flash
memory that should be protected.
Has anyone else attempted a solution like this, maybe succeded? I
found earlier messages indicating that punkytse has been using at
least aufs, and there is still some code in the Voyage scripts
mentioning aufs.

Re: [Voyage-linux] Installation problem
Hej Steve, Shot in the dark, but check your /etc/apt/sources.list Usually the command prompt of apt-get update would have shown some unresolved/unavailable sources. Comment them out e.g. to check if that is the problem. Also make sure your Inet settings work properly, otherwise apt-get wouldn't be able to check the sources anyway. But I guess you did check that already. Greets and good luck, Markus PS: If the problem persists, prompt a little bit more detailed screen info, which you see.

This one was working fine in my camera from where I took it. I also don't have any way to test the CF slot. I don't see any way to change the IDE mode on this board. So, I thought, OK I can investigate the APCI and APM options. I looked at my lilo.conf file and found a line in the image section that said read-only. Thinking that that might be the problem, I tried to edit the file. Problem is the CF card mounts as read-only on my Kubuntu system. I can't seem to find a way to edit the file. Got any suggestions? BTW, there is no APCI reference either on or off in the current lilo.conf file. I also noticed that when voyage is booting, there is a point where it says Mounting locale file system and that indicates that it fails. That is probably related to the read-only status. I just don't know enough about this to be able to fix it my self.

Then the output is correct That's normal :-) and it runs through a lot of stuff finally getting to a point where it says Remounting / as read-write... and then hangs. After a while it comes back with [ some numbers ] hda: Lost Interrupt. Then the lost interrupt message repeats every so often and that's all that happens. Does not sound to good This Soekris 5501 had ubuntu 7.10 installed on the HD and it was working. I decided to upgrade it, first to ubuntu 8.04 which went well and everything was working. Then I tried to upgrade to 10.04 and after that it would no longer boot and in fact seems to have reverted back to 7.10. That's all I can find in the /boot directory. I was thinking that Voyage might be a better approach than trying to reinstall ubuntu. Voyage has installed correctly. Been a long while since I used the Soekris boards so cannot help further with that error I'm afraid. Can you change the IDE mode the Soekris is using maybe?

[Voyage-linux] Installation problem
Hi, I am new to this list and to Voyage. I have followed the installation instructions listed for FC5 although on a Kubuntu 10.04 machine. My target system is a Soekris 5501. Everything seem to go fine except now when I try to boot I get to GRUB Loading Stage2... and then it hangs. I imagine I have probably done something wrong and this is probably something that has been mention before on this list. Is there a way to search the archives? I didn't see a search function anywhere.

Re: [Voyage-linux] Installation of manpages fails
Hi! I think I have installed the pages back with Apt-get install man Apt-get install manpages Apt-get install manpages-dev Or must I install additional packages?

[Voyage-linux] Installation Issues
Hi,
I just tried to install Voyage using Ubuntu Dapper, and had some issues.
I made a patch to fix them, the basically does two things:
1. Modern distributions mount CF disk automatically through HAL. The
installation script tries to manually mount the CF disk, and fails
because it may already be mounted. So my patch first tries to unmount
the CF disk, before mounting it again as ext2.
2. On my system lilo wouldn't install because /dev/sda wasn't available.
My patch does a bind mount of /dev to /cfdisk/dev, which makes all
devices of the host system available to the lilo chroot.
Regards,
Pascal de Bruijn
