Hi...
I didn't see this at first, but this change will make booting from
anything but EXT2 (i.e. NAND for now) always fail...
When trying to see if the noboot-<device> file exists, read_file()
will always return >0 if the file system is NAND and the block read
was ok and then skip the NAND partition...
from phase2.c:
/* does he want us to skip this? */
if (read_file(this_board->noboot, kernel_dram, 512) >= 0) {
puts(" (Skipping on finding ");
puts(this_board->noboot);
puts(")\n");
this_kernel = &this_board->kernel_source[kernel++];
continue;
}
I was thinking about making a quick patch (adding a condition
"this_kernel->filesystem != FS_RAW"), but run in to the "problem" of
making a good solution.. :/
It's not nice to let the otherwise generic kernel loading code
suddenly check which file system the kernel is on..
Andy.. got any nice idé?
