Where can I find instructions for installing Redsleeve on a
Cubieboard2?
I have SD cards build for Fedora 19 and 20 remixs and have working SD
cards for Fedora 21 alpha.
I don't think anybody documented installation on Cubieboard2 yet. If
you have it working with a Fedora image, it should be a simple case
of preparing a new image based on the Fedora one, extracting the RS
rootfs, and copying the contents of /boot, /var/lib/modules and
/var/lib/firmware over from the Fedora image. If there are any
special driver considerations/options, you may also need to copy
/etc/modprobe.d over.
Unfortunately, I need a lot more help than that. For now, I want to
boot from an SD card, so I have to build the partitions: /boot, swap,
and /.
Do I build them with something like Gparted on my F20 notebook?
Actually, I have one that has F21 pre-alpha on it, and I can use it as
a starter as the partitions are there.
The first thing to do would be to check if the current working
image uses DOS or GPT partitions, but to keep things as simple
as possible no matter how woefully inefficient, I suggest you dd
the working image onto a clean card, and make sure that works.
I have been having some issues with these cards. They were all in the
same SDcard bin at the checkout lane at MicroCenter, and each have a
different size. I suspect these are the rejects that SANDisk etal would
not accept and why they sell for half the price!
So I will just build a working copy of F19 and go from there. Not too
hard. Then I will reread and apply the things you say below.
If it does, put the card into another machine, mount the file
systems to, say, /mnt, and then delete everything under /mnt
except:
/mnt/boot
/mnt/lib/modules
/mnt/lib/firmware
/mnt/etc/fstab
Then extract the tarball into /mnt (tar -C /mnt -jxvf rootfs.tar.xz)
Do I then copy the tarball onto / and with what utility?
It's a tarball - you don't copy it, you extract it.
Content for /boot from a F19 or F20 /boot? I don't want to use the F21
as actually some things (like the video!) don't work yet.
Whatever you have that is bootable and works.
So is this sort of information on the WiKi? I have not found it yet.
But my search foo is always a bit weak.
I think this level of instruction is a little to generic and basic
to be wikifiable. If you read through the existing articles, most
describe the same process I mentioned above, with device specific
information added in.
