Hi,
I found your posting on Feb 5 from the mail archive
but I did not find a solution. Did you fix the
problem about "attempt to access beyond end of
device"?
When my assabet boots, it shows
attempt to access beyond end of device
01:00: rw=0, want=8217, limit=8192
EXT2-fs error (device ramdisk(1,0)): ext2_read_inode:
unable to read inode block - inode=1434, block=8216
attempt to access beyond end of device
01:00: rw=0, want=8206, limit=8192
EXT2-fs error (device ramdisk(1,0)): ext2_read_inode:
unable to read inode block - inode=1348, block=8205
attempt to access beyond end of device
This is what I have done
1. arm linux kernel, make xconfig, block devices,
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM_SIZE=16384
recompile the kernel for Assabet
2. change the HOST kernel (redhat 6.2, kernel 2.2.14),
drivers/block/rd.c: int rd_size = 10240. Recompile
the HOST (Pentium) kernel.
3. On host:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ram bs=1k count=10240
mke2fs -vm0 /dev/ram 10240
cd /mnt; mkdir mnt1; mkdir mnt2
mount -o loop -t ext2 oldimage /mnt/mnt1
mount -o loop -t ext2 /dev/ram /mnt/mnt2
cd /mnt/mnt1
tar cvpl . | tar xpC ../mnt2
umount /mnt/mnt2
cat /dev/ram | gzip > newramdisk.gz
4. use angelboot to load the kernel and newramdisk.gz
Then, I got
attempt to access beyond end of device
01:00: rw=0, want=8217, limit=8192
EXT2-fs error (device ramdisk(1,0)): ext2_read_inode:
unable to read inode block - inode=1434, block=8216
attempt to access beyond end of device
01:00: rw=0, want=8206, limit=8192
EXT2-fs error (device ramdisk(1,0)): ext2_read_inode:
unable to read inode block - inode=1348, block=8205
attempt to access beyond end of device
Does anybody know how to fix it? Thanks a lot!
