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.
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
I cleaned out /rootfs after moving these to a /rootfs/savehere
directory.
Then extract the tarball into /mnt (tar -C /mnt -jxvf rootfs.tar.xz)
# tar -C /run/media/rgm/rootfs/ -jxvf
/home/rgm/rsel6-rootfs-gui-20130927-1.tar.xz
bzip2: (stdin) is not a bzip2 file.
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
I got the tarball from:
http://ftp.mirrorservice.org/sites/ftp.redsleeve.org/pub/yum/os/rsel6-rootfs-gui-20130927-1.tar.xz
Now what?
Try capital J - it's an xz rather than bzip2 archive. So:
# tar -C /run/media/rgm/rootfs/ -Jxvf
/home/rgm/rsel6-rootfs-gui-20130927-1.tar.xz
