Hi guys,

can somebody tell me how to boot the kernel if I installed it as rootKernel and dont want to boot from external storage?
I just find the bootcmd to boot from external storage with an rootKernel.

bootcmd_usb=usb start; ext2load usb 0:1 0x4000000 /boot/uImage

€dit: Found the problem :/ http://plugcomputer.org/plugforum/index.php?topic=1896.0

Hi again =)

I cant get the standard distri (ubuntu 9.0.4) to boot with the new kernel. So i think my bootargs are wrong.
 i tried the one wich is written in the kernel upgrade script and several other but cant get it work
# setenv bootargs rootfstype=jffs2 console=ttyS0,115200 mtdparts=orion_nand:0x400000@0x100000(uImage),0x1fb00000@0x500000(rootfs) rw root=/dev/mtdblock1

#setenv bootargs rootfstype=jffs2 console=ttyS0,115200 mtdparts=orion_nand:0x100000@0x00000(uboot), 0x300000@0x100000(uImage),0x1fc00000@0x4000000(rootfs) rw root=/dev/mtdblock2

and so on. If i start the same distributon with the kernel from sdcard it works.

So can anyone tell me the correct bootargs?

btw the error is:

Code:

Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found.  Try passing init= option to kernel.
See Linux Documentation/init.txt for guidance.

Hopefully not off topic but maybe helpful to others...

I have a USB sound device (see my other posts) that was working very well with the 2.6.32.  After upgrading to 2.6.34, I got hiss and noise from the USB sound card.  Obviously more likely a problem with a kernel module than anythng else.  I didn't try to debug it, just rolled back and all was well.

Hope that helps,

Doug

Is your flash ubifs rather than jffs2?  That would be a problem.

You might want to give 2.6.33.4 a shot.  If it works, I may just continue to follow the .33 tree a bit longer, or I could follow the .32 tree a bit longer.

Is there a wiki page on how to flash these new kernels on the device?  Thanks!

Hi,
I finally got around to building a new toolchain on my laptop - and saw this post on making an updated cross compiler, unfortunately this patch file is missing ' wget -c http://sheeva.with-linux.com/sheeva/tools/CodeSourcery-Gcc4.4.3.patch' is this a diff from gcc-4.4.1 to gcc-4.4.3? where did it come from? can you update to gcc-4.4.4?

Thanks & best regards

I fixed the build script.  It should have been looking for CodeSourcery-Gcc4.4.3.patch.gz.  I created the patch myself.  I attempted to update it to 4.4.4 but saw quite a few errors in testing the compiler so I gave up on that.

Thanks but the file is still missing maybe you need to chown/chmod? for the webserver to see it?
