I believe I may have found a typo in one of the builds.
I am new and just started working with Narcissus so please bear with me
if I am not correct.
I have downloaded a couple of 2011.03 builds for Overo and each will not
boot. I was getting a message about init spawning "S" too fast delaying
5 minutes. Internet searches led me to /etc/inittab. I compared the file
in the non booting builds to a known good copy using cmp and found a
difference in line 31.
The current builds available in Narcissus list:
S:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 115200 ttyS2
But in order to boot on the Overo I believe it should be:
S:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 115200 *ttyO2*
(That is a capitol letter O and not a zero)
After I made that change the build will boot on my device. I am still
new and learning linux so forgive my lack of direct knowledge. While
that solution boots, I am now having some warning or error lines appear
during the end of boot and after the login prompt on each boot after the
initial first boot. I do not know if it is related to the change
mentioned above or not.
During the boot process after udev is started I can see many error lines
that look like:
end_request: I/O error, dev mtdblock0, sector *X*
(Repeat many times where X = 0, 8, 16, 32, ....... 248)
Buffer I/O error on device mtdblock0, logical block *Y*
(Repeat 10 times where Y = 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9)
Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address fffffff0
pgd = c0004000
(Followed by "Stack:" and a dump of a hex table and other cryptic
looking lines I have not seen in other boots)
After the login prompt shows up and then udevadm settle times out, I get
a bunch of lines of:
/sys/devices/virtual/block/loop0 (712)
/sys/devices/virtual/block/ram0 (720)
(With different ending numbers)
Has anyone seen this before?
I have tried to get help on the IRC channel for a couple of days but no
one is ever present.
Nicholas
