Re: Creating a distro on a sim card
In my ongoing quest, I did find out I was not actually booting from the SD device, so I have printed out the instructions, and for the past week attempting to get the device configured and booting properly So far this is what I am accomplishing Still attempting to get my OM to boot from the SD card. If I fillow the instructions at http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Booting_from_SD#Prepare_the_SD_card and format the 1st partition vfat, I get this error when booting (using magnifying glass); [2.68000] mmcblk0: error -84 sending read/write command [2.68000] buffer I/O error on device mmcblk0, logical block 0 [2.68500] mmcblk0: error -110 sending read/write command [2.69000] buffer I/O error on device mmcblk0, logical block 0 [8.15000] kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(179,2) if I change 1st partition to ext2, I get this error; unable to read image uImage.bin and then pops back into the boot menu I'm at a loss to figure this out.

You need to format that ext2, and put a rootfs on that. Judging from the last error message, there is no defined or formated 2nd partition.

Re: Creating a distro on a sim card
Christopher J. White:
With Debian on a 2GB microSD card, here's my boot cmdline
(cat /proc/cmdline):
glamo_mci.sd_max_clk=1000 rootfstype=jffs2 root=/dev/mtdblock6
console=ttySAC2,115200 console=tty0 loglevel=8 regular_boot
mtdparts=physmap-flash:-(nor);neo1973-nand:0x0004(u-boot),0x0004(u-boot_env),0x0080(kernel),0x000a(splash),0x0004(factory),0x0f6a(rootfs)
rootfstype=ext2 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootdelay=5
Don't anybody see a problem with this settings? There's two pairs of
parameters rootfstype and root; who get the priority? This redundancy is
because environment has the following variables:
bootargs_base=rootfstype=jffs2 root=/dev/mtdblock6
console=ttySAC2,115200 console=tty0 loglevel=4 regular_boot
menu_1=Boot from microSD (FAT+ext2): setenv bootargs ${bootargs_base}
rootfstype=ext2 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootdelay=5 ${mtdparts} ro; mmcinit;
fatload mmc 1 0x3200 ${sd_image_name}; bootm 0x3200
bootargs_base has one pair, menu_1 has another. So, who's in charge
here?
Also, is there a reason to mount rootfs read-only? I try to boot
from uSD card and get several error messages like this:
tar: cannot create directory 'devices/snd': Read-only fiel system
tar: cannot create directory 'devices/input': Read-only fiel system
tar: cannot create directory 'devices/bus': Read-only fiel system
tar: cannot create directory 'devices/net': Read-only fiel system
tar: cannot create directory 'devices/loop': Read-only fiel system
and then
cp: cannot stat '/lib/udev/devices/*': No such file or directory
then
Remounting root filesystem
(so it is remounted rw now?) then
mount: special device /dev/mmcblk0p1 does not exist
(this is stock 512Mb uSD). After that it tries to startup ALSA (with No
soundcard found resulting message) and network (resulting done), and
after that it just stall forever. Rootfs is yesterday's testing tarball
taken from http://downloads.openmoko.org/daily/testing/.

LOLI didn't even notice that. After several *hours* of working on
it (and dumping the 8GB card I bought that just would not work), I
finally found a combo that worked.
Needless to say the above works fine for me with my Debian distro, so it
must just take the last assignment as the final and go from there.
You are right that it's a combo of boot_args plus the indirection from
menu_1 using boot_args.
