From what I understand, to install the filesystem in a sl-5500 you first create it in narcissus and then untar it to a partition in a, say, sd drive. And then put the sd in a sl-5500 with kexecboot already installed and boot the device. Just for the fun of it, I untarred it the file system in the hd of my linux box:
r...@keg:/tmp/moo$ bzcat ../burp-image-collie.tar.bz2 | tar xvf - tar: Record size = 8 blocks ./ ./tmp/ ./tmp/wanted-locale-packages ./tmp/available-locale-packages ./tmp/pending-locale-packages ./tmp/installed-translations ./tmp/installed-packages ./dev/ ./dev/mtd2 tar: ./dev/mtd2: Cannot mknod: Operation not permitted ./dev/ptmx tar: ./dev/ptmx: Cannot mknod: Operation not permitted ./dev/ram1 tar: ./dev/ram1: Cannot mknod: Operation not permitted ./dev/mtdblock0 tar: ./dev/mtdblock0: Cannot mknod: Operation not permitted ./dev/mtdblock4 [...] tar: ./dev/fb0: Cannot mknod: Operation not permitted ./dev/hda14 tar: ./dev/hda14: Cannot mknod: Operation not permitted ./dev/mtdblock1 tar: ./dev/mtdblock1: Cannot mknod: Operation not permitted ./etc/ ./etc/network/ ./etc/network/if-up.d/ ./etc/network/if-up.d/zeroconf ./etc/network/if-up.d/ntpdate ./etc/network/if-down.d/ ./etc/network/options ./etc/network/if-pre-up.d/ ./etc/network/interfaces ./etc/network/if-post-down.d/ ./etc/asound.conf ./etc/tinylogin.links [...] ./usr/sbin/dropbearmulti ./usr/sbin/update-rc.d ./usr/include/ ./usr/src/ tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors r...@keg:/tmp/moo$ You may have noticed it wanted to create a bunch of devices in its ./dev dir. Should I be concerned about that or kexecboot already created some of those devices? Or am I missing an important step altogether? _______________________________________________ Angstrom-distro-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/angstrom-distro-users
