Hi Ruben,
it allears to be *very* difficult to bootstrap.
The reason is a tight labyrinth of obstacles...
2.4 kernel with chroot etch -> has network but doesn't see my rootfs
partition on sd
2.4 kernel with chroot lenny -> glibc complains about "Kernel to old"
2.6 kernel with 1st stage lenny -> fails with error 139 on debootstrap
2.6 kernel with etch -> no network tools available

Hi Nikolaus,
The debootstrap stuff for lenny could get stuck because of some
missing libraries for mipsel (you may need apt-get update first to
make sure you have the latest files).
This would require to have a working network config before the second-
stage was run. It appears that these packages are not part of the
debootstrap. So I may have to add them manually.
Otherwise you better use the debian etch, modify the /etc/apt/
sources.list (add lenny main) run the apt-get upgrade.
Need a wired ethernet. and run ifup eth0 from terminal of course.
That is a good idea to try. So I will try to run do this on the 2.4
kernel with the chroot etch and hope it will result in a lenny rootfs.
But I have to find out firstly why my rootfs partition on the SD card
does not mount...
Ah, it may rapidly fail due to the glibc-kernel-incompatibility.
Afterwards you can install udev, and other nice lenny upgrades.
No need for modprobe libs because the kernel 2.6.24.3 (config_rv6)
already includes the most important things in the kernel
My old debian-etch distro for SD is here
http://projects.kwaak.net/twiki/bin/view/Epc700/InstallDebianEtchTesting
I will try this and see if it is more complete than my own etch rootfs.
Be aware if you are going to use debian lenny, you better use a SD
card > 4GB, otherwise it will be full within a few debugging hours ;-)
Oh yes :)
My first goal is to build a basic install and make a .tgz snapshot
from that. So anyone can take it as a starting point on any SD card
size and upgrade to whatever he/she likes.
Grt Ruben.
PS. I don't have much time to reply, goodluck hopefully you and
others will be able to fix some of the ingenic 2.6.24.3 kernel
sources.
No problem.
Best regards,
Nikolaus
