I now have almost a cookbook to build Redsleeve boot SDdisk for my

When you say no login, you mean you get boot output on the screen but
no login prompt? If so, hit Alt-F2.
The magic formula. But why is it needed???
As I said in an earlier email, getty clears the screen, and preserving
the init boot log on the console is handy for debugging as you can
easily see if one of the services failed to start.
logged in on the video/kybd now.
FWIW this is documented on the RootFS wiki page...
For debugging purposes getty doesn't run on the first terminal because
it clears the screen when it starts.
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?
Shouldn't be. If you have a swap partition and you specify it in fstab
it should get used.
FIne. Justed weirded out to see 0 swap used.
It won't get used until you use up all the RAM. :)
I am use to seeing swap used and memory available when I check with the
'free' command:
But I just checked a couple 'low usage' machines, and they also show 0
swap used. So I guess I just was not watching closely.
All is good.
