Hello,
Qt Extended, freshly flashed, does not have mkfs.vfat, so I went for ext2 as
--part1fs (as
set by default). However, I could not boot from the SD, the uimage.bin could
not be read,
bad magic number. That message is somewhat missleading, the boot flag of the
partition was
missed. That was all. I booted Osm2009, ran fdisk, and it was all ok again.
Shall I add
something like
a
1
to the action_partition? Was I doing something wrong? Is the SD faulty? It
seems much like
it, since the error reoccurred after a regular (/sbin/reboot) reboot and fdisk
(back in
Osm2009) says
Disk /dev/mmcblk0: 1967 MB, 1967128576 bytes
4 heads, 16 sectors/track, 60032 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 64 * 512 = 32768 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/mmcblk0p1 * 1 3053 97688 83 Linux
/dev/mmcblk0p2 3054 55455 1676864 83 Linux
/dev/mmcblk0p3 55456 60032 146464 82 Linux swap
which looks just fine to me. I just said "w" to fdisk to write what it read
back to disk,
followed by an immediate reboot - works!
The other mysterious event is the disappearance of usb0, i.e. I cannot connect
to the
laptop any more when booting into Debian. This seems to be because the kernel
answers to
/proc/version with "2.6.24 (bu...@barbie)". But this is the Qt Extended kernel.
Why does
that happen? Did I mess up something? but /boot clearly lists config-2.6.28
(openmoko), so
it seems like not being booted ... weird. And the binaries of
QtExtended/boot/uImage.bin
and /mnt/debian/boot/uImage.bin differ. I have updated to the 2.6.29 kernel
just found via
apt, copied the uImages from /mnt/debian/boot/* to /media/card, reset symlink
to the
2.6.29 kernel, rebooted, found the image to have the bad magic number, echo "w"
| fdisk
/dev/mmcblk0, reboot again, Debian boots up nicely with wrong kernel again.
Would anyone have any suggestions for me? I could try my old 512MB SD,
obviously. Or flash
uboot?
Cheers,
Steffen
