hi I try to install voyage linux as a client os on vmware and following the steps on the cd-rom guide on
http://cvs.voyage.hk/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/voyage-custom/src/live-cd/overlay_fs/README.live-cd?rev=1.5&view=markup I have some problems to install voyage and the guide is not very detailed and. Therefore I thought I will go through it step be step to show you where the problems started. Maybe this descriptions can be used for a bit more extended (dummy proof) installation guide. On the wiki maybe? So here it goes: ~~~~~ From the guide: ~~~~~~~ | 1. Create distribution directory for installation | # mkdir /tmp/root | # mount -o loop /live_media/casper/filesystem.squashfs /tmp/root | # cd /tmp/root | 2. Make a mount point for installation disk | # mkdir /tmp/cf | .... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ OK done - no problems, but the next step let me wondering if things go alright ~~~~~ From the guide: ~~~~~~~ | ... | 3. Format target disk device | # /usr/local/sbin/format-cf.sh /dev/hda | ... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ here the issues start: There is no /dev/hda device, but /dev/hdc. Is that problem? Well I execute the command on step 3.) it anyway: $ /usr/local/sbin/format-cf.sh /dev/hda Press ENTER to continue to format flash memory on /dev/hda should I see /dev/hda now? Because the directory is not here: $ ls /dev/hda ls: /dev/hda: No such file or directory Is that a problem? ~~~~~ From the guide: ~~~~~~~ | ... | 4. Start voyage.update installation script | # /usr/local/sbin/voyage.update | | Following the instruction to select /tmp/root as distribution directory, and | /tmp/cf as mount point. After the installation complete, simple reboot the | board and Voyage will be started! | ... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Here I wish the guide to be a bit more detailed. Here is what I see running step 4.): -- $ /usr/local/sbin/voyage.update 1 - Create new Voyage Linux disk 2 - Update existing Voyage configuration 3 - Exit (default=1 [Create new Voyage Linux disk]): $ 1 -- Where is the Voyage Linux distribution directory? (default=/tmp/root): $ /tmp/root -- What would you like to do? 1 - Specify Distribution Directory 2 - Select Target Profile 3 - Select Target Disk 4 - Select Target Bootstrap Loader 5 - Configure Target Console 6 - Copy Distribution to Target 7 - Exit (default=2 [ Select Target Profile]): $ 2 -- Please select Voyage profile: 1 - 4501 2 - 4511/4521 3 - 4801 4 - 5501 5 - ALIX 6 - Generic PC 7 - Notebook *pcmdia) 8 - WRAP (default=8 [WRAP]) $ 6 -- What would you like to do? 1 - Specify Distribution Directory 2 - Select Target Profile 3 - Select Target Disk 4 - Select Target Bootstrap Loader 5 - Confuigure Target Console 6 - Copy Distribution to Target 7 - Exit (default=3 [ Select Target Disk]): $ 3 -- Partitions information Major Minor #blocks name 8 0 8388608 sda 7 0 28228 loop0 7 1 28228 loop1 Which device accesses the target disk [/dev/hde]? $ /dev/hda Error: /dev/hda is not a disk device! $ /dev/hde Error: /dev/hda is not a disk device! -- Ok - here is where the voyage ends for me. I think I have two connected problems here - not sure if /dev/hda is really really created - therefore could not choose /dev/hda/ as target disk Could somebody help me with this? Thanks a lot.
