Hi Brian,
Please consult Bug #135 (http://bugzilla.moblin.org/show_bug.cgi?id=135) and add this info to it. I tested the proposed changes some time ago. With these changes, VM works but I experienced problems on an EeePC 901. On the other hand everything was working (more or less) with MIC v0.47. The diff says that there was one additional line in "install.sh": mount /dev/${device}1 /.asjd.... And strange enough: With this line before mkfs.ext3, the formatting succeeds, without I have problems. I don't know why, but I checked it several times with this line and without... Therefore I would propose rolling back all install.sh and usb (and maybe other dependencies) in git to 0.47. And start from there to fix everything. For the moblin-1 platforms (or more accurate, the apt-get platforms) the patch already provided in Bugzilla Bug #135 (http://bugzilla.moblin.org/attachment.cgi?id=15 ) should work, the mdev -s can be added but as long as the initrd is using udev, this will have no effect. For the moblin-2 platforms, the checks for "removable" devices are already removed and the "mdev -s" is already there (thus no need to change this there).

Oktober 2008 22:33 To: Moblin Mailing List Subject: RE: [Moblin Dev] menlow-lpia-moblin2 cannot start up on QEMU/CrownBeach board 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}" Brian Wood Intel Corporation UMG Platform Software Group (UPSG) [EMAIL PROTECTED] >-----Original Message----- >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Spencer, Bob >Sent: Monday, October 27, 2008 5:22 PM >To: Moblin Mailing List; Karur Mohan, Prajwal >Subject: [Moblin Dev] Errors running netbook moblin2 image on EeePC > > >I created an install image and put it on the EeePC (with a rolled-back image >creator from Oct8). >The PC starts to boot and then hangs midway. > >... >Enabling /etc/fstab swaps: [OK] >RTNETLINK answers: File exists >/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit: line 631: hald: command not found >INIT: Entering runlevel: 5 >Entering non-interactive startup >Starting system logger: Starting system logger: [OK] >/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit: line 633: connmand: command not found > > <system stalls for 5-10mins then continues until...> > >Id "x" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes. > > <at this point it stalls again and I gave up> > >Bob > >_______________________________________________ >Moblin dev Mailing List >[email protected] > >To manage or unsubscribe from this mailing list visit: >https://lists.moblin.org/mailman/listinfo/dev or your user account on >http://moblin.org once logged >in. > >For more information on the Moblin Developer Mailing lists visit: >http://moblin.org/community/mailing-lists _______________________________________________ Moblin dev Mailing List [email protected] To manage or unsubscribe from this mailing list visit: https://lists.moblin.org/mailman/listinfo/dev or your user account on http://moblin.org once logged in.
