I'm having difficulties with the loading of LRPs at boot time (i.e. the ones listed in syslinux.cfg) using Bering uClibc. I have a WRAP board with a 1GB IBM microdrive. The symptom is that about 50% of the cases everything is fine, and 50% LINUXRC shows "root.lrp (nf!)" and so on for all LRPs. The result is that I have to power cycle the board 2-3 times to get it to boot. When it comes up properly everything is fine and further operations on the drive have no problems (I mount the drive and use it a lot). Is this due to the microdrive? Has anyone else observed this? Any ideas on how to fix it? Thanks much!
Hmm...I'm not familiar with the WRAP boards. If they boot quickly, they might be coming up faster than the controller on the HDD (which typically has to read it's firmware off of the physical disk). This was a serious problem with my old Amiga computers (which would go from power-on to graphical interface in about 2-3 seconds).
Can you reset the board (ie: warm-boot, or "three finger salute")? If so, try resetting the board after it's powered up in the failed mode.
