Re: [Moblin Dev] Installation problem from USB key.

Hi Sylvain,

if you're not going to try the git version,

according to:
http://lists.moblin.org/pipermail/dev/2008-October/003010.html

in /usr/share/pdk/platforms/platform-you-chose/initramfs/usb
maybe you could just insert mdev -s before trying to mount the devices.

please let me know if it works for you, thanks! :D

sincerely,
jiason

 Hi,

 I had the same problem as you.
 (It was not the multi partition on a USB key error that sometimes appear.)

 I installed on two machines and the same error appeared. It seems to be a bug 
 in 0.48. If you do a GIT to get a later version it works. Or at least. it did 
 work for me :-)

 Uninstall 0.48 and install via the GIT method on 
 http://moblin.org/documentation/moblin-image-creator/test-drive-moblin-netbook-or-mid/install-and-run-image-creator


 Thanks!

 Subject: [Moblin Dev] Installation problem from USB key.

 Dear all,

 I am very new to moblin. I just received a Dell Mini 12'' and I tried
 to evaluate moblin on it from a UBS key.

 The key creation did not make any problem but at the launch of the image on 
 the
 Mini12, I've got the same problem as described on the web site comment :

 During installing, repeat the below information unceasingly
 Sleeping finished

 Checking device /dev/sda for installation source.

 Checking device /dev/sdb for installation source.

 Found Removable drive at /dev/sdb

 mount: mounting /dev/sdb on /mnt failed : No such file or directory

 umount: cannot umount /dev/sdb : No such file or directory

 /dev/sdb does not contain a rootfs

 Checking device /dev/sdc for installation source.

 Checking device /dev/sdd for installation source.
 Did I miss something ? What could make this happen ?

 I tried to use image-creator with Fedora Core 10 on a quad core and directly
 from the mini 12.
 I tried with a Sandisk U3 key as well as from a kingstone one.
 I tried menlow and netbook lpia  platform.
 I tried Live USB and Live USB RW
 I tried to launch from VM on the Quad Core and got the same problem.

 Does anyone have an idea to help me ?

 Thanx a lot per advance for helping me.

 Best Regards.

 Sylvain P.

RE: [Moblin Dev] Installation problem from USB key.

2009-01-14 Thread sylvain PORTES
One again thanx a lot for your reactivity.

Indeed, I did get the mic from Git and the problem is not present anymore.

Thanx a lot for your help.

Now the question would be :  Did someone did success in installing moblin from 
an usb key using the moblin-image-creator-0.48-1.fc9.noarch.rpm ?

Otherwise maybe a bug could be reccorded on this issue.

I will go on my test with my dell mini 12 and inform you if I success.

Best regards.

Sylvain P.

Dear all,

First thanx a lot for your reactivity.

Concerning your answer I am a little bit confused. I think there are some
things I may misunderstand. :

Concerning the fact that I am not using the right version :
I am using MIC 0.48 from moblin-image-creator-0.48-1.fc9.noarch.rpm.
Is there a newer version ?

Concerning Dale Taylor answer :
It appears that the problem is that you have more than one partition on
your USB key.  I suggest reformatting it as a single partition.

Here's an article I put together describing the process in detail.

Dale Taylor
Intel
From what I understood the MIC does reformat the USB ket when using the
Write UBS image. Am I wrong ? Anyway I did tried to reformat my
kingstone key and replay the procedure. This gave the same result !
One other point concerning the fact that I don t think it comes from my USB key
: when I use Launch VM command I got exactly the same effect. So unless the VM
does use the physical usb key I think that my problem is more linked to the
created image.

Do you think my problem could comes from the fact that I am using FC10 instead
of FC9 ?

Thanx again for your support.

Best regards
Sylvain PORTES

Yes. This problem was fixed some time back. Try to pull the latest version of
MIC and let me know if the problem persists.

Thanks,

Did we ever get the patch for this integrated?  This sounds so familiar.

[Moblin Dev] LCD is blinking

2009-01-14 Thread Pierre Bouffard
Upon startup, when I get to the ume login screen my LCD display blinks about 
once every second. The terminal does not accept keyboard input when the screen 
is black. 

It's kind of annoying when you're trying to enter a username and password to 
type one letter every second in sync with the blinking. Is there a fix for this?

Re: [Moblin Dev] Display resizing vs LCD resolution

 The graphics controller of the Atom Z5xx chipset allows a minimum of 620x480

 X configuration files to use only 480x272 of the total 620x480 display area
 without losing parts of the display?

This question should be asked to the graphics driver team. See x.org for more
information.

xorg.conf configuration is also documented extensively. Try `man xorg.conf` and
`man drivername` (e.g. `man intel`).
