This isn't really a problem, despite what modprobe says. We have built the roach2 kernel without modules, but have left modprobe in - creating an empty file # touch /lib/modules/3.7.0-rc2+/modules.dep makes the message go away. > warning: can't open /etc/mtab: No such file or directory There are two ways of handling mtab, either using a normal file, or a symlink to /proc/mounts. In the former case, this file has to exist and be writeable, in the latter mount has to be told not to update the file, since the kernel does it automatically. Even if you don't fix that, your mount/df output might look a bit strange, but you should be fine otherwise. > mount: mount point /proc/bus/usb does not exist Either /proc hasn't been mounted, or the kernel has been built without usb support, but the startup scripts are still trying to mount usbfs. We have had some usb problems with the PPC, so on a number of builds usb is disabled. Maybe remove the usbfs entry from fstab or the mount scripts ? > 1 Jan 00:00:15 ntpdate[452]: no server suitable for synchronization found If you wish to have time synchronised, point the roach at an ntp server. I think the easiest would be to install the ntpd package on your NFS server TLDR: none of the problems are critical. You should be able to telnet to port 7147 of the roach and issue commands to program and access the fpga. regards marc
