GNS installed on Fuloong Mini
So far, we have another Mips platform ready for gNewsense, with the Fuloong Mini installed and running! I used finally again Matti's installation files in http://www.otavalaiset.net/stuff/ newinitrd.gz vmlinux-2.6.37-libre-lemote because I had no luck with the initrd_2.6.37_metad_0.2.gz provided After booting from usb, I executed folloging commands on the PMON prompt: load (usb0,0)/fuloong/vmlinux-2.6.37-libre-lemote g console=tty no_auto_cmd root=/dev/sda1 rootdelay=8 Specify a mirror with "archive.gnewsense.org" (hostname) and "/gnewsense-metad/gnewsense" directory Then cp /usr/share/debootstrap/scripts/sid /usr/share/debootstrap/scripts/metad in order to work around the missing metad script Copy the modules found in initrd.gz to /target/lib/modules in order to avoid following error message at boot time: FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.37-libre-lemote/modules.dep: No such file or directory resulting in a non-working keyboard Create a /target/boot/boot.cfg with following text: default 0 timeout 3 showmenu 1 title gNewSense metad - sda1 kernel (wd0,0)/boot/vmlinux-2.6.37.7-librebre args console=tty no_auto_cmd root=/dev/sda1 rootdelay=8 After rebooting, start the system BTW, the PMON graphical interface may be accessed with the <b> button Then, install eventually a few missing files related to Gnome (as seen in aptitude) Then, enjoy a GUI with gnome and the gNewSense artwork! Thanks again to all people who contributed to this result! "Happy hacking" (TM) -;) Samy _______________________________________________ gNewSense-dev mailing list gNewSense-dev@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnewsense-dev
