Congrats Robert!
Well done!
I like your dogged persistence.
And thanks for providing the play-by-play.
I learned a *lot* following it.
I will be posting my cookbook and working with Gordan for the Wiki. I
realized I still need to better understand what Hans is doing in the
Kernel for the MAC address. The Cubieboards do not have EEprom so no
static MAC address, each time I build a new OS, I get a new local scope
address. If I want to provide everything built, then I don't want
everyone to be using the same MAC addr!
Gordan - you're the man!

I now have almost a cookbook to build Redsleeve boot

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???
logged in on the video/kybd now.
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.

-/+ buffers/cache: 22304 987956

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!
Hit Alt-F2 and then try. :)
and working!
