Re: GSM Firmware Flashed, now UBIFS problem and Kernel Panic
Anyway it could be a problem related to ubifs instability, which is a topic recently discussed in mailing list [1]. You can follow that tread and try to: I don't think it's releated to ubifs stability. It happens to me every time I boot from SD card with a linux kernel different (at least older) then qtmoko/v31/nand one. Who changes root partition (nand) in this case? Qi? The kernel from SD card, even if it doesn't know about ubifs format? And for what? To change a mount counter or last mount time? ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

My ubifs errors always happened after I started Debian from SD card. PS: I have a nanddump of the faulty images. According the ubifs FAQ one should not bother the developers with errors resulting from using old ubifs code, so I haven't send it to anyone ...

Re: GSM Firmware Flashed, now UBIFS problem and Kernel Panic
Hello, If there is a better solution that preserves the FS, I would be happy to learn about it. I wonder if it would be possible to boot into a distro on the sd card and mount the nand partitions. Then you could save /home. Just a thought. Yes, it is: just mount -t jffs2 /dev/mtdblock6 /mountpoint Thank you all for your input.. I put a qtmoko v35 on an SD card.. an on terminal I did: mkdir /home/root/nandfs mount -t ubifs /dev/mtdblock6 /home/root/nandfs but sadly that doesn't work.. dmesg tells me: UBIFS error: ubifs_get_sb: cannot open /dev/mtdblock6, error -22 Any ideas? Cheers, I think you need to attach the ubifs before mounting. See http://openmoko-public-mailinglists.1958.n2.nabble.com/UBI-success-story-td4218730.html for the steps, though unless you want to reformat, you shouldn't follow all of them. Ben Alternatively, you can follow http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/UBIFS : # apt-get install mtd-utils # if you are on qtmoko # ubiattach /dev/ubi_ctrl -O 2048 -m 6 # mount -t ubifs ubi0:om-gta02-rootfs /media/om # ls /media/om Anyway it could be a problem related to ubifs instability, which is a topic recently discussed in mailing list [1]. You can follow that tread and try to: Guy who'll have ubifs trubles please try to: 1. disable bulk read in fstab and check if problem will still exist. 2. do nanddump and post it or try to reproduce bug with nandsim. (i guess ubifs guys can fix problem in case if such dump exist quite fast) Regards Giacomo [1] http://www.mail-archive.com/community@lists.openmoko.org/msg62518.html -- ## giacomo 'giotti' mariani gpg --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-key 0x99bfa859 O ASCII ribbon campaign: stop HTML mail www.asciiribbon.org ## ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

GSM Firmware Flashed, now UBIFS problem and Kernel Panic
Hi.. Please advice if you can.. Stupidly I didn't make any backup prior to this.. (well, nothing recent anyways) my QtMoko is on NAND and I just used the µSD Flashing Method as recommended in the Wiki to update my GSM Firmware from Moko10 to Moko11.. It finshed with D_O_N_E and showed the green Angstrom login, then I removed the battery and flash SD.. put my SIM and storage SD back in and was going to boot into QtMoko again, but I get: ---88- UBIFS error (pid 1): ubifs_read_node: bad node type (255 but expected 6) UBIFS error (pid 1): ubifs_Read_node: bad node at LEB 0:0 Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount fs on unknown-block(0,0) ---88- I think the flashing just messes with the GSM chip, so despite the subject of the mail, I believe it might be something to do with what happened before the flashing: I shut down Qt, took my SIM an SD out.. powered up - but forgot to press AUX.. so I removed the battery when I saw the first text line from normal boot (I guess it's a Kernel loading message or so).. then I plugged in again and carried on with AUX and flashed.. Any ideas on this problem? I there any way to repair that FS?

Yes, it is: just mount -t jffs2 /dev/mtdblock6 /mountpoint I haven't used it for ubifs yet though; I just tried on qtmoko 33(?) and got a wrong filesystem error on mounting; not sure which fs I'm using, I tried jffs2 as well which I killed after half a minute. jffs2 can take a while to scan the flash, but when I used it that way before, it would be done in some 7 seconds (on SHR). lsmod | grep ub does not give any results; lsmod | grep jff gives a single result on my currently running system.

Re: GSM Firmware Flashed, now UBIFS problem and Kernel Panic
Hi, to mount a ubifs you should give another way a try: cat /proc/mtd ubiattach /dev/ubi_ctrl -m 6 -d 0 -O 2048 mkdir /tmp/qtmoko mount -t ubifs ubi0_0 /tmp/qtmoko/ I found this at the ubuntu-wiki, a nice source for all linux-related questions (as far they are not openmoko-specific - of course!)
