Greetings -

 

I have this working on other boxes, and I had it working specifically with
these versions as recently as this week, but a redo effort has me stumped.
(why am I redoing ? I screwed up the genunion/keydisk creation, and was
starting over.)

 

 

I've created a runnix image on a CF card, (V 0.2.1, circa Jan '08). I've
placed the astlinux 0.6.1.run* in the os directory. 

 

For some reason the attempt to mount fails with no reason listed. 

 

Configuring eth0 with DHCP...

ueth0: link up, 10Mbps, half-duplex, lpa 0x0021

dhcpc (v1.4.1) started

Sending discover...

Sending discover...

Sending discover...

No lease, failing

Verifying astlinux-0.6.1.run...

astlinux-0.6.1.run verified

mount: mounting /dev/loop0 on /mnt/root failed

Error mounting astlinux-0.6.1.run root fs

 

Ironically, I can perform the mount from the runnix command line right after
this fails. 

 

$ mount /dev/loop0 /mnt/root

/mnt/base $ df

Filesystem           1k-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on

/dev/ram0                 4030      1835      2195  46% /

none                    258044         0    258044   0% /tmp

/dev/hda1               125704     37212     88492  30% /mnt/base

/dev/loop0               34112     34112         0 100% /mnt/root

 

Fdisk shows:

 

/mnt/base $ fdisk /dev/hda

 

The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 1985.

There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,

and could in certain setups cause problems with:

1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)

2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs

   (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)

 

Command (m for help): p

 

Disk /dev/hda: 2048 MB, 2048901120 bytes

32 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1985 cylinders

Units = cylinders of 2016 * 512 = 1032192 bytes

 

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks  Id System

/dev/hda1   *           1         125      125968+  6 FAT16

 

 

Any thoughts would be appreciated. Knowing why the mount failed would sure
help. 

 

Thanks,

 

rb
