Yes, but this is a different kernel with a different initrd.
.
From the Bering-uClibc v3.1.1-Beta2 setup that's giving me trouble:
CD uses isolinux to boot.
contents of <cd root>/boot/isolinux/isolinuc.cfg:
display isolinux.dpy
timeout 0
append reboot=bios
default linux initrd=initrd.lrp init=/linuxrc rw root=/dev/ram0
LEAFCFG=/dev/sda1:msdos PKGPATH=/dev/sda1:msdos,/dev/cdrom:iso9660
LRP=root,config,etc
It is not the isolinux which gives trouble, unless the initrd is
_not_loaded, can you confirm that?
Yeah, pretty sure initrd is loaded, otherwise it wouldn't be able to
access the CD to load packages listed in LRP= above.

You got many more modules than I found on the initrd, this is
suspicious. Ahhhh.... you are using the initrd_ide_cd
This is the content of the modules directory in initrd_ide_cd
luna:/mnt/boot/lib/modules # ls -l
total 270

so not a single usb module, you are not using the original initrd_ide_cd
Right. Actually, I add the modules and config info from initrd_usb to
initrd_ide_cd and call it initrd_ide_cd_usb.lrp on my CDs.
contents of <initrd root>/boot/etc/modules:
cdrom
ide-core
ide-disk
ide-cd
ide-detect
isofs
usbcore
usb-uhci
#usb-ohci
#ehci-hcd
scsi_mod
usb-storage
sd_mod
vfat
And this is also different from the original.
On a machine where I can get it to boot, contents of /etc/modules:
tg3
e1000e
ip_conntrack
iptable_nat
ip_conntrack_amanda
ip_conntrack_ftp
ip_conntrack_h323
ip_conntrack_irc
ip_conntrack_pptp
ip_conntrack_tftp
ip_nat_amanda
ip_nat_ftp
ip_nat_h323
ip_nat_irc
ip_nat_pptp
ip_nat_snmp_basic
ip_nat_tftp
sch_sfq
sch_ingress
sch_htb

obviously the usb modules are _not_ loaded here
From the Bering-uClibc v3.0-Beta2 setup that works:
CD boots eltorito-style.
.....
cdrom
ide-core
ide-disk
ide-cd
ide-detect
isofs
usbcore
usb-uhci
scsi_mod
usb-storage
sd_mod
vfat
So you are using the usb-uhci just like on the other disk.I am wondering
which modules you use to build your initrd file. You must have the usb
modules included with the ide_cd stuff.
Please run an lsmod on a machine where you can get it to boot and look
for usb modules. Try to determine _when_ they are loaded.
Use an original initrd_ide_cd to build a bootable CD for your target
machine. This will not yet allow you to use the usb stick, but you can
work from there. Load the usb modules manually to determine if they are
working correctly.
If you have a working LINUX system you can gunzip the initrd and loop
mount it, then inspect the contents. You can also add additional modules
as fit, unmount and gzip it to use it on the target.
Finally found the problem. I needed to increase the usb_wait value in
/var/lib/lrpkg/root.linuxrc in my initrd package. Default value is 1, I
increased that to 3. Works as expected now.
I remember (now) having to do this when I first set up my v3.0-Beta2
disks. Guess I didn't take good enough notes back then.
The machines I'm running LEAF on here are way overkill for the job, so
they run through the boot process too fast to allow for proper USB
initialization, I guess.
Thanks again.
