-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Somebody in the thread at some point said: | I've been thinking about this since some time and I'd like to know why | don't you make one more partition with initrd which would have some | needed modules and basic scripts for proper complete OpenMoko boot (for | example: g_ether etc. - I don't know which modules are used in boot | process - my FR didn't arrive yet). | In this way with flashing kernel it will need to flash the initrd, too, | but wont make problems when kernel modules are not upgraded on rootfs. | Something simmilar is already used by other Linux distributions for not | need to compile many modules as built-in in kernel. | This initrd partition would be overmounted with rootfs by these basic | scripts in boot process. | This way it would not need to flash rootfs (and loose data there) in case | of any upgrade problems. | | Please correct me if I'm wrong - it's just basic theoretical thinking - I | didn't have FR in my hands yet nor I looked at the OpenMoko filesystem.
I have another way to come at this: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Freerunner_backup_kernel - -Andy -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkigHKsACgkQOjLpvpq7dMqykgCgh2hrjqiscFCigmtoWU6n2H/y LEUAn3d6to0C/2KiYhuLs2fI7kX+H89X =r/FS -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
