Can someone at CASPER put this in big letters on the WIKI somewhere? This bites everyone who uses the Linux version at least once. There maybe even ought to be a check in the bee_xps script to warn the user that the name cannot contain uppercase letters. Maybe it should even die with a fatal error if there are capital letters in the name.

Re: [casper] ROACH usbboot
Hi Mark, Thanks for your reply. I made a silly mistake: the filesystem, when untarred sits under a directory etch or etch-devel, and the system dirs (etc, usr,..) had to be moved one level up on the usb stick. It works now... cheers! --Ramesh On Sep 9, 2010, at 6:12 PM, Mark Wagner wrote: > Hi Ramesh, > > Did you make sure that the partition you created was bootable? > > Also, di you copy the filesystem over to the usb drive as root using 'cp > -rp'? > This is to preserve permissions and ownerships. > > Mark > > > On Thu, Sep 9, 2010 at 10:26 AM, Ramesh Karuppusamy wrote: > Hi All, > > I am trying to boot a ROACH system off a usb-stick.

[casper] spectrometer.py compatibility with wxpython
Hi, I have wxpython installed as the graphical backend of matplotlib. I find that the latest spectrum.py script uses figure.canvas.manager.window.after and the attribute 'after' is not supported in wx. I notice that this is supported in tk. So is 'tk' the preferred backend that you recommend? Thanks, Mandana

Re: [casper] ROACH usbboot
Hi Ramesh, Did you make sure that the partition you created was bootable? Also, di you copy the filesystem over to the usb drive as root using 'cp -rp'? This is to preserve permissions and ownerships. Mark On Thu, Sep 9, 2010 at 10:26 AM, Ramesh Karuppusamy wrote: > Hi All, > > I am trying to boot a ROACH system off a usb-stick.

[casper] ROACH usbboot
Hi All, I am trying to boot a ROACH system off a usb-stick. I followed instructions found at http://casper.berkeley.edu/wiki/Getting_Started_with_ROACH and tried both I tried both filesystem_etch_nfs_2009_07_07.tar.gz and filesystem_etch_2009-11-30.tar.bz from the SVN repository. I used a 2GB usb-stick, then parted'ed the device to create a primary parition and then ran "mkfs .-t ext2" command to create an ext2 file system. I stopped the normal roach boot procedure, and then typed "run usbboot" and I see the following error: Warning: unable to open an initial console. Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel. Including "init=3" parameter to bootargs doesn't help either. Any idea on what is going wrong here? Thanks in advance! Cheers, Ramesh
