Hi Bob (& Moblin'ers),
With the latest version available of MIC I went into the following file:
/usr/share/pdk/platforms/menlow-lpia-moblin2/initramfs/usb
In this file I've changed two things to get it to work in the Qemu/KVM VM and
on my Crownbeach development platform. I've left much of the text from the file
so it's easy to see where I put my changes. The first (which was submitted by
another helpful Moblin user) is to eliminate that crazy looping that checks for
the device (i.e., commenting out the if statements and putting in dummy if 1 eq
1 statements). The next was to add the "mdev -s" call in two locations (see
below). With these changes I can run my image in the VM and write this image to
a USB stick and boot my Crownbeach development platform.
If someone could test this out to make sure it works for them I could add this
workaround to an existing bugzilla bug if there is one. :-)
# Find the USB flash drive
while true
do
for device in 'sda' 'sdb' 'sdc' 'sdd'; do
echo "checking device /dev/${device} for installation source..."
# if [ -e /sys/block/${device}/removable ]; then
# if [ "$(cat /sys/block/${device}/removable)" = "1" ]; then
# Add if calls here to eliminate dev. check looping
if [ 1 -eq 1 ];then
if [ 1 -eq 1 ];then
echo "Found Removable drive at /dev/${device}"
# Add mdev -s call here
mdev -s
mount /dev/${device} /mnt
if [ -f /mnt/rootfs.img ] ; then
echo "Found Boot drive at /dev/${device}"
found="yes"
fi
umount /dev/${device}
if [ "$found" = "yes" ]; then
break;
fi
echo "/dev/${device} does not contain a rootfs"
fi
fi
done
if [ "$found" = "yes" ]; then
break;
fi
echo "Sleeping for 5 seconds"
/bin/sleep 5
echo "Sleeping finished"
done
# Add mdev -s call here
mdev -s
echo "will mount root from /dev/${device}"
