Hi Ali, Thanks for you reply about using Gentoo stage 3 image on creating my own linux image. When I use the mkblankimage.sh, it fails to work.
*dd'ing the blank image (this make take a while)... Unable to create the blank image try.img in ./* I search into the script code and found that it uses this : *dd if=/dev/zero of=$IMAGE_DIR/$IMAGE_NAME bs=512 count=$BLK_SIZE $OUT_PUT * while the /dev/zero maybe the reason of the failure. I don't know whether others had encountered this, Is it necessary to inform other users of M5 about that the script may fail to work. Thanks !
