Yes.  RSEL6.  I have not seen any RSEL7 for armv5...


We only do armv5tel targetting for RSEL, both 6 and 7. :)


The raspi2 is an armv7, yes?

CentOS are doing armv7l (not yet released) and aarch64 (released).

I know. See my posts on working with Johnny's armv7l pre-alpha build onthe Centos-arm list.

I DID say 'armv5'. I really don't know what the letters after thenumber (5tel or 7l) mean.

My only armv5 here is the pogoplug with its kirkwood Marvel board. It isnice and pretty and I would like to get it working as a NAS. If not, Iwill stay with the Cubies. If they get far enough into the uboot andkernel work by Hans, he has a nice multiport sata card working for theCubietruck, so I can go all sata, and not usb drives for my NAS. (Thissupport is in F22, not F21). Hans ALMOST has the CUbietruck internalWiFi working in the F23 alpha (kernel patches needed), and will have itupstream 'soon', but don't hold your breath for the internal bluetooth.(see his projects page: https://revspace.nl/KernelDriverProjects).

Plus the pgoplug is only 256Mb memory, and I am concerned if that will
be enough for 7.


I haven't noticed the memory footprint being particularly different
between EL6 and EL7. With 256MB you will probably need some swap
space regardless of what you end up running.

I always build a swap partition. But good to know. If you have a RSEL7rootfs for me to work with, please give me the URL and I will build adrive for it. Perhaps it will work better with the F18 kernel than yourRSEL6 (but my Cubie RSEL6 builds use the Cubie F19 kernel work).

Oops, I think I misunderstood what you were trying to do. I thought
you were trying to get RSEL7 running not RSEL6, but what you pasted
indicates RSEL6. Can you please confirm?

If you are running on RSEL6, what do you have in /etc/init? Is
there serial.conf, tty.conf and start-ttys.conf in there?

If so and it still isn't working, try adding the following to
/etc/init/ttyS0.conf:
###
start on stopped rc RUNLEVEL=[2345]
stop on starting runlevel [016]

respawn

pre-start exec /sbin/securetty ttyS0
exec /sbin/agetty -L /dev/ttyS0 115200 vt102
###

and see if the getty appears on your ttyS0.

1) Are you sure the device is called "eth0"? In EL7 device names
are dependant on the chipset make/model and there is no such
thing as "eth0". I am not sure how you might find out what it
is without being able to log in, though.

2) You my need "NM_CONTROLLED=no" to your list of interface
options.

Regarding getting a serial getty running with systemd, this
may be helpful:

http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/serial-console.html

As a quick bodge, you could try putting:
systemctl start [email protected]
in /etc/rc.local
Not sure if that will work, but it's worth a shot.
Failing that you could put "ifconfig -a" into rc.local
and see what that prints out to the console. At least
you'll get the interface name to configure so you
can try to ssh in.

Regarding fsck saying the partition is mounted, you need to pass
"ro" command line option to the kernel at boot time. The rootfs is
not expected to be mounted rw before init mounts it rw.
I looked around in the /boot directory and could not find where the
kernel command line lives these days (F18).
If I had to guess, your machine is in fact fully booted. If you
configure /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-${devicename}
(where ${devicename} is whatever your NIC shows up as) appropriately
to make it come up at boot time and have sshd running, you will
probably find you can ssh in. Basically you aren't getting gettys
to start up on the serial port.
I don't think so.  I created ifcfg-eth0:

DEVICE="eth0"
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
ONBOOT="yes"
TYPE="Ethernet"
NAME="System eth0"
MTU=1500
HOSTNAME="nevia.htt-consult.com"
I checked my dhcp server, and no leases. This system is currentlythe
only one on my test subnet, so I would see a lease...

If someone has the files I need to build a usb drive for a kirkwood
board, I would try it.  I used the F18 kernel because that is what
Fedora provides for kirkwood boards:

It did not wipe out my / partition but it is still hanging. Here is

while logged in as root. I moved these files to my notebook,and then redid the / partition with:
mke2fs -t ext4 -L rootfs /dev/sdb3
The assumption being this would replace the rootfs partitionwith a new one. I then built this new partition with:
tar -C /run/media/rgm/rootfs/ -Jxvf/home/rgm/arm/RSEL/rsel6-rootfs-gui-20130927-1.tar.xztar -C /run/media/rgm/rootfs/lib/modules -Jxvf/home/rgm/arm/RSEL/f18-modules.tar.xztar -C /run/media/rgm/rootfs/lib/firmware -Jxvf/home/rgm/arm/RSEL/f18-firmware.tar.xz
And booted. But the /etc/fstab was not right. So I pulled theusb drive and edited the fstab with:
/dev/sda3  /               ext4 defaults,noatime        0 0
/dev/sda2    swap        swap    defaults,noatime 0 0
/dev/sda1    /boot            defaults,noatime    0 0
hmmm. Left out the ext2 for /boot, but that did not seem to bea problem. It was sda3 with the problems:

So what is wrong with how I built my rootfs partition or whatmay be left on this usb drive from before giving me problems?
