Hello, I've been using debian sid for arm for awhile now on my Linuxstamp (http://opencircuits.com/Linuxstamp), and it's been working well. Now I'd like to move to Grip and armel to get a smaller footprint, to get the EABI support, and to have a process I can repeat from scratch.
I run "debootstrap --arch=armel --foreign sid grip_sid2/ http://www.emdebian.org/grip"; and this seems to work correctly. But at this point it's not yet a working system. Even to make the system bootable at all I have to add "/dev/console" and "/dev/ttyS0". Also instead of starting getty I start /bin/bash. The errors on the tail of the boot are listed below. INIT: version 2.86 booting /etc/init.d/rc: line 74: /etc/default/rcS: No such file or directory error: '/etc/init.d/rc' exited outside the expected code flow. INIT: Entering runlevel: 2 /etc/init.d/rc: line 74: /etc/default/rcS: No such file or directory error: '/etc/init.d/rc' exited outside the expected code flow. It is a pretty crippled install at this point. apt-get will run, but the networking seems to be broken. Even though proc is listed in the fstab it's not auto mounted. On this site (http://www.emdebian.org/grip/) there are no instructions past debootstrap, but on the install page (http://buildd.emdebian.org/release/grip/a1631.html#AEN1643) it talks about chroot, however I don't have a fs I can chroot from (the Debian sid I have is for arm, and seg faults when I try). Do I need to chroot to finish the process? Also I noticed that there is a --second-stage option to debootstrap, but when I try that I get "cat: /usr/share/debootstrap/suite: No such file or directory". What does second-stage mean exactly? I would like to be able to build up the whole fs without needing an existing working fs. I know this is a lot of info, but I would appreciate any help anyone can offer. When I get this all worked out I plan to publish a mini-tutorial on the opencircuits site. thanks, Paul -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
