Hello,
I managed to make initfs with boot menu (as mentioned here
http://maemo.org/pipermail/maemo-developers/2006-July/004653.html ) sort
of working. You can get it here http://fanoush.webpark.cz/maemo/#initfs
see README inside. Basically it is original initfs with testserver
removed, modified linuxrc, additional bootmenu.sh script and one uclibc
executable evkey to get key state and key up and down codes.
To use binary diff you need original initfs.jffs2 and xdelta (1.1.3
included in debian) or you can recreate initfs yourself via mkfs.jffs2
and included files.
linuxrc modification is relatively minimal, menu is in extra script
bootmenu.sh. You can easily add your own options to it.
I still don't have mmc card with working system. When copied original
system from flash to second partition /dev/mmcblk0p2 (ext2) it reboots
after while without even showing progressbar. I tried to fix rootfs in
/etc/fstab but it wasn't enough. What else might be hardwired to flash
(/dev/mtdblock4)? If anyone manages to have working copy of IT2006 on
mmc card let me know :)
BTW there is still problem with limited number of writes to free space.
Looks like suggested eraseblock of 128KB is too big for initfs with
~128KB free space :-) I tried to make the eraseblock 16kb via -e 16 but
it didn't help. In addition to errors in dmesg log, number of writes is
still limited. It the 128kb block hardwired in kernel?
