After digging a little more, I found that the "EEEK! Something bad happened..." message comes from vmdebootstrap. In another message Sunil Mohan mentions a bug report about running kpartx in sync mode, so it looks like the ultimate solution to this problem is fixing vmdebootstrap, or finding a way to pass this parameter to it so that kpartx runs in sync mode. > Interesting. Bdale was running into that issue too. Try running: > > : kpartx -av $IMAGE Ok, did that (with the $IMAGE set manually) and it created the proper link in /dev/mapper: loop0p1 -> ../dm-0 cd freedom-maker sudo kpartx -av build/freedombox-unstable_2014-03-13_i386-virtualbox-hdd.img > And then try running make again. After that, make worked. In fact it's still working as I write this. An amazing amount of work is being done, getting packages, etc... This is my first time building a freedombox, so there's plenty I'll still have to learn before I can make use of it, but I'm impressed at the amount of work that's being done from a small makefile and some scripts. > ... Other suggestions were to check device-mapper in /proc/misc: it's there. the dm_mod module is also loaded. Rebooting made no difference. After going for quite a while, make stopped with this faillure: ... Cleaning up VBoxManage convertdd MAGE.img MAGE.vdi Converting from raw image file="MAGE.img" to file="MAGE.vdi"... VBoxManage: error: Cannot open file "MAGE.img": VERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND make: *** [virtualbox-image] Error 1 make: Leaving directory `/home/video/fbx/freedom-maker' It's late so I'll have to deal with this tomorrow. In the meantime, any suggestions? Thanks.
