Hey Mark.
I would check my /dev/ entries. Remember they cannot be extracted by
non-root, they might have gone missing.
Cheers,
David
I updated my usb stick to the filesystem:
http://casper.berkeley.edu/svn/trunk/roach/sw/binaries/filesystem/filesystem_etch_2009-11-30.tar.bz
when I 'run usbboot' I get to:
sd 1:0:0:0: [sda] 15794175 512-byte hardware sectors (8087 MB)
sd 1:0:0:0: [sda] Write Protect is off
sd 1:0:0:0: [sda] Assuming drive cache: write through
sd 1:0:0:0: [sda] 15794175 512-byte hardware sectors (8087 MB)
sd 1:0:0:0: [sda] Write Protect is off
sd 1:0:0:0: [sda] Assuming drive cache: write through
sda: sda1
sd 1:0:0:0: [sda] Attached SCSI removable disk
EXT2-fs warning (device sda1): ext2_fill_super: mounting ext3
filesystem as ext2
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly.
Freeing unused kernel memory: 136k init
Warning: unable to open an initial console.
warning: `ntpd' uses 32-bit capabilities (legacy support in use)
and then the boot process freezes. I've repartitioned and rebuilt the
filesystem as ext3 and then simply copied (cp -rp) over the files as
i've done on other working usb sticks. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Mark
