I now have almost a cookbook to build Redsleeve boot SDdisk for my Cubieboard2. Up to logging in to the console. Still no login on the monitor; back to that.

I struggled with the fstab. First I had to find out the UUIDs of swap and rootfs, then fsck yelled about the date, as the Cubieboard2 does not have a RTC, so it boots up at long ago. Here is the important part of my fstab:

UUID=98dae9d0-e1e4-494b-8502-be8c7aad615f / ext4 defaults,noatime 0 0 UUID=4ec1423a-34a5-4263-b44d-7c2172de982d swap swap defaults,noatime 0 0

Note the change of the <pass> option to ZERO to get past the check. I build a swap partition, eventhough the original fstab did not list a swap. Is swap disabled elsewhere in this setup?

# free
             total       used       free     shared buffers     cached
Mem:       1010260      51304     958956          0 5460      23540
-/+ buffers/cache:      22304     987956
Swap:      1000444          0    1000444

Editing fstab is the only step that takes some effort. Everything else is close to cutandpaste from my cookbook.


So on to the no monitor login and no response when I do type on the keyboard (my typing is echoed onto the monitor).

All suggestions accepted!
