Hello all,
I've gone down the path of using initramfs on the DM6446
seeing as a product I'm developing requires both NAND booting / CF card
access, both of which cannot be realized simultaneously without doing a
few tricks.
I've setup the CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE=".." line to reflect my
filesystem folder (am using the ramdisk that came with the PSP for 1.30
DVSDK), and compiled the kernel.
The kernel as expected, bloated up to about 5Mb.
Booting the kernel over TFTP, I notice that it started hanging after the
"Uncompressing Linux................." stage.
It was only after I waited for about 5 mins, that it eventually went
through to full boot (and the RAMFS did mount)
However, I suspect these messages that it printed out where the cause of
the long wait-time:
"request_module: runaway loop modprobe char-major-5-1"
A further followup showed that none of the dynamic device nodes
(/dev/video0, /dev/cmem, etc.) were not created in /dev!
Loadmodules.sh did not populate /dev/cmem, so I'm not sure why that is
happening, and if it is related to my long bootime.
Either way, any help will be appreciated!
Thanks,
