Hi All, I am new to the list, although I have lurked in the archives for quite some time and tried a few of the much earlier images. I have an h2200 with the april 22, 2006 LAB installed and tried several times unsuccessfully to test the new september 18th images on a spare SD card I had lying around - I have since determined that this SD card is dead (and my only spare), so I switched to CF. CF booted fine (meaning that I got the angstrom splash) but it stopped for an unreasonable amount of time. So I set the pssplash=false and tried again. This time it stopped at a user prompt: (paraphrased): Running e2fsck on a mounted filesystem does really bad things!!! continue? (y/n)
here, I am stuck. I have a serial cable, but it is at work - I'll pick it up tomorrow. I don't believe that the current angstrom images are putting out any form of a usb console, but I welcome being corrected on that. I tried moving the e2fck (and all associated files) out of /usr/lib/ipkg/alternatives (as they were they only copies on the image) but I am realizing just now, that they are probably part of a meta-suite, like busybox. Didn't work, moved them back. I tried setting the fs_passno to 0 in fstab (I should have done this originally) - didn't make any difference. Is this correct behavior? It seems like any forced interaction on boot in a handheld is not good (without a keyboard and usually with a bootsplash hiding prompts) Is there anyway to disable the e2fsck check on boot by changing an option in the filesystem/fstab or the kernel options? my fstab is below if it matters (my labrun works fine, so not including it) --- /dev/hda1 / ext2 defaults 1 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 sys /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 tmpfs /var/volatile tmpfs mode=0755 0 0 tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs mode=0777 0 0 /dev/mmcblk0p1 /media/card auto defaults,sync,noauto,noatime,exec,suid 0 0 --- Thanks in advance for any help on this (and sorry for the long email) - I would like to be able to check out the new images.
