I used the online builder to create an Angstrom image (xfce) and downloaded the
created file. I untar it on a SD card (ext2) using -xvpf as root and the whole
file system is on the card. However none of the /dev files have been assigned
block or character device and there are probably other things that are not
done. So when trying to boot (using kexecboot) it says "Warning: unable to open
an initial console".
I tried the online builder several times and none of them work.
I also manually tried to created the block or character devices and that failed
too with that error:
mknod -m 660 /mnt/card/dev/console c 5 1
mknod -m 660 /mnt/card/dev/null c 1 3
mknod -m 660 /mnt/card/dev/tty1 c 4 1
that failed, then I tried:
mount -t proc none /mnt/card/proc
mount -o bind /dev /mnt/card/dev
I got a login, tried root and got this error:
/bin/login: error while loading shared libraries: libpam_misc.so.0: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory
On my Akita NAND I have Cacko with the Katastrophos kernel in /boot with a
partition of 53MB. I flashed it with the latest kexecboot kernel for Akita and
that works as I can boot either Cacko on NAND or Zubuntu 2.0 on SD.
Apart from actually doing the mknode manually again on /dev (which is all done
automatically on Zubuntu 2.0) how can I get the Akita Angstrom image working?
As far as I am concern, I should only have to untar the created build on the
SD, boot and it should work. Is there something wrong with the online builder?
I am just a user not a developer so please be kind!
Thanks for any help.
Bernard
