[Voyage-linux] Installation
Hello Punky, Is it possible to install Voyage MPD to a USB memory stick? I have a PC having a mSata and a SSD. When i compared the sound of USB stick with Msata i would find USB stick is better. I think that mSata is operating in high frequency that will make much noise. I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

[Voyage-linux] Installation problem with VoyageMPD 0.10.0 - install stuck
Hello Voyage Users, I use a mini PC - Fujitsu Futro s450 ( http://sp.ts.fujitsu.com/dmsp/Publications/public/ds-FUTRO-S450-2.pdf) with newest avalable BIOS - as audio player. Till today I've used VoyageMPD 0.9.5 which works perfectly. A few days ago I decided to upgrade it to newest version 0.10.0. I made a bootable pendrive, tested it on "big" PC. Everything was OK. Then put it into Futro. To my surprise I saw only black screen and flashing cursor in top right corner. Instalation didn't start. Precisely started (LED on pen started to blink) but stuck. Using the same pandrive and the same method of making it bootable with version 0.9.5 I haven't any problems. Have You any ideas what is a reason? Any ideas what to test or try? -- Regards Tom ___ Voyage-linux mailing list Voyage-linux@list.voyage.hk http://list.voyage.hk/mailman/listinfo/voyage-linux

[Voyage-linux] Installation for CF/flash and classic HDD, aufs/unionfs
I have an Alix2d13 and want it to boot from CF and then use a HDD,
external USB HDD, for directories that either receives frequent writes
or needs much space. My candidates are /usr, /var, /tmp and /home.
With this setup I do not think I would need the default Voyage
directory synchronisation, nor any tmpfs linked to these directories.
The most elegant solution would likely be an overlay file system such
as aufs or unionfs, but even after looking through most of the Voyage
scripts I am not certain how to accomplish this.
I ran a simple test, creating the /usr and /var directories on a HDD,
copying the contents from CF to it and making simple symlinks from CF
to the new locations ('ln -s /media/hdd/var /var'), it works but I
imagine that an overlay solution would be more elegant. With my "quick
fix" the usual Voyage scripts keep working as if it was all on a flash
memory that should be protected.
Has anyone else attempted a solution like this, maybe succeded? I
found earlier messages indicating that "punkytse" has been using at
least aufs, and there is still some code in the Voyage scripts
mentioning aufs.

Re: [Voyage-linux] Installation problem
I have an old soekris 4801. I used to see this booting with syslinux/pxelinux, until HPA (author) added CONSOLE 0 to syslinux. (back around 3.60 iirc) The soekris bios has some weird feature where it sent some VGA stuff to console (matching the junk you reported), and sent double characters (you also see). HPA magically diagnosed it from my description, and his fix worked for me. I dont know how this might express in grub or lilo I commented out the serial port enable in lilo.conf and that cured the double characters. The serial port is already enabled in the BIOS so enabling it again in lilo causes the doubling of the characters. For the lost interrupt, Id suggest adding the following, it fixed 4801's lack of DMA, maybe 5501 has same issue. ide-core.nodma= [HW] (E)IDE subsystem Format: =0.0 to prevent dma on hda, =0.1 hdb =1.0 hdc .vlb_clock .pci_clock .noflush .nohpa .noprobe .nowerr .cdrom .chs .ignore_cable are additional options See Documentation/ide/ide.txt.

Re: [Voyage-linux] Installation problem
Hej Steve, Shot in the dark, but check your /etc/apt/sources.list Usually the command prompt of "apt-get update" would have shown some unresolved/unavailable sources. Comment them out e.g. to check if that is the problem. Also make sure your Inet settings work properly, otherwise apt-get wouldn't be able to check the sources anyway. But I guess you did check that already. Greets and good luck, Markus PS: If the problem persists, prompt a little bit more detailed screen info, which you see.

I also don't have any way to test the CF slot. I don't see any way to change the IDE mode on this board. So, I thought, OK I can investigate the APCI and APM options. I looked at my lilo.conf file and found a line in the image section that said "read-only." Thinking that that might be the problem, I tried to edit the file. Problem is the CF card mounts as read-only on my Kubuntu system. I can't seem to find a way to edit the file. Got any suggestions? BTW, there is no APCI reference either on or off in the current lilo.conf file. I also noticed that when voyage is booting, there is a point where it says "Mounting locale file system" and that indicates that it fails. That is probably related to the read-only status. I just don't know enough about this to be able to fix it my self.

Re: [Voyage-linux] Installation problem
Yes, I am using a USB adapter to access the CF card. I have now tried LILO and it does boot. At first I get LI, then a new line with LILL, and then it waits for 20-30 seconds and then it starts with "OO ..88 LLooaaddiinngg LLiinnuuxx..." until Linux actually starts booting. Then the output is correct and it runs through a lot of stuff finally getting to a point where it says "Remounting / as read-write..." and then hangs. After a while it comes back with "[ some numbers ] hda: Lost Interrupt". Then the lost interrupt message repeats every so often and that's all that happens. This Soekris 5501 had ubuntu 7.10 installed on the HD and it was working. I decided to upgrade it, first to ubuntu 8.04 which went well and everything was working. Then I tried to upgrade to 10.04 and after that it would no longer boot and in fact seems to have reverted back to 7.10. That's all I can find in the /boot directory.

Re: [Voyage-linux] Installation problem
Yes, during the voyage.update procedure I set the console to serial at 57,600 baud. My BIOS is also set to 57,600 and I get the BIOS boot info, then I get some weird characters, but then it goes into GRUB alright. Then after it says "GRUB Loading Stage2...", nothing else happens. I am not sure what is happening in that part between the BIOS and GRUB, but it is putting out some data at a different baud rate. I'll try searching the archives to see if I can find anything like this.

[Voyage-linux] Installation Issues
Hi,
I just tried to install Voyage using Ubuntu Dapper, and had some issues.
I made a patch to fix them, the basically does two things:
1. Modern distributions mount CF disk automatically through HAL. The
installation script tries to manually mount the CF disk, and fails
because it may already be mounted. So my patch first tries to unmount
the CF disk, before mounting it again as ext2.
2. On my system lilo wouldn't install because /dev/sda wasn't available.
My patch does a bind mount of /dev to /cfdisk/dev, which makes all
devices of the host system available to the lilo chroot.
Regards,
Pascal de Bruijn
