|I built the latest image from the auto builder on the angstrom site, |random-9ac583e4-image-collie. I unpack it with auto detect |sub-folders. This unpacks what looks like a linux file system. | |I down loaded the latest zimage-kexeboot-2.6.26-r12-collie.bin.
| |I will put the zimage-kexeboot-2.6.26-r12-collie.bin on a compact |flash card with nothing else on it and renamed to "zimage". This is what you will "flash" using the usual flashing procedure. |I am attempting to put the the image I auto built on a san disk card |(512MB) Here is where I am running into problems. | | I made the sd card an ext2 file system and formatted it. | | On my main PC, I am running Mandriva 2009.1 x86_64 | Linux localhost 2.6.29.6-server-2mnb #1 SMP Sun Aug 16 |23:23:59 EDT 2009 x86_64 AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 148 GNU/Linu | |The main pc recognizes the sd card as "other" in the control |centre/local disks and when you go to advanced and details it says it |is formatted ext2. | |When I plug it in the card is recognized and I can open it in dolphin. |I copied the auto build system onto the sd card and everything seems |to have copied OK except the contents of the "device" folder... I believe the wiki recommends using the "mount" command rather than allowing some automount scheme to mount it for you. So unmount your card, then mount it manually. I usually download the image as a tar.bz2 then extract it directly on my sd card (be sure to "sync" before removing the card). The command I use is: cd /mnt/sd_card_path tar xjpvf /path/to/autobuild/imagexxx.tar.bz2 && sync | |If and when I get everything copied to the sd card properly, and the |cf card with the "zimage" on it, I will flash the collie and keep my |fingers crossed. | You're only going to flash the kexec kernel. That kernel will recognize the image that is on your SD card and boot it. Also, you will probably lose the ability to access any ROM installed on internal flash. Be prepared for this.
