2.6.30-rc2 and 2.6.30-rc3 new releases

[plugit]

I just wanted to say thanks for your efforts, cbxbiker61! I installed 2.6.22.19 yesterday by simply running your script in the readme, and it worked flawlessly.

Great stuff!

Let me offer a hearty second.  It solved my problem of not having FUSE support in the original kernel.  My 1-wire stuff works great now.

[cbxbiker61]

Thank you both for your comments.  It's nice to know my kernels are being used.  It's also nice to know the installer (README) is working as advertised.

i tried to flash the new kernel yesterday, resized mtd1, boot from tftp & nfs : ok,
reboot from nand :kernel papic:

any ideas what.s wrong ?

thanx again for the efforts.

Can you post your u-boot configuration? Looks like the rootfstype is missing or you are using the wrong partition. Try adding "rootfstype=jffs2" to the boot parameters.

anyway , i guessed i posted in the wrong section since the kerner version was sheeva-2.6.30-rc6.

works now, thanx for thi hints with rootfstype=jffs2

The errors is because the modules were not created for kernel 2.6.30-rc6. If you are using a kernel with modules, install the modules and you should have a /lib/modules/2.6.30-rc6 directory. If the kernel has no modules, just do a 'depmod -a' as root and it should fix the error messages.
