Usable builds in the 5xx series on B2s?
Aside from the memory-hogging notes -- are recent 5xx builds booting for people with B2s? I've updated to the latest firmware and tested with 539 and 540 (ext3) and they both hung during the boot process. Not sure if it's some subtle PEBKAC at my end, or if they are just not booting on B2s. Anyone with a B2 working with recent builds can say? cheers,. m ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

I've got 539/Q2C18 on a B2 staring at me right now. It helps to throw a swapfile at it (mine is on a USB stick). --Noah On Aug 1, 2007, at 10:37 PM, Martin Langhoff wrote: Aside from the memory-hogging notes -- are recent 5xx builds booting for people with B2s?

I was already using Q2C18 and tested the 539 ext3 image - but it's failing for me -- same error as 540. It says: Write protecting the kernel read-only: 570k mount: Mounting /dev/sda1 on /sysroot failed: no such device or address And then a python traceback and what looks like the USB stick being re-rediscovered - scsi and sda modules probe the USB stick and neds up saying [sda] Attached SCSI removable disk I press enter and I seem tp be in a python debugger. Control-D to exit takes me to Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! I just dd'd the image to the usb stick. Is that the correct procedure? cheers, martin ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
