Thanks for sharing that, Billy K.
I tried your package, but there isn't much difference... something
else must be bottlenecking the system.
I gave up after 24 hours, and I'm doing it in a laptop. :(
Citando William Kenworthy <[email protected]>:
the standard busybox tar is problematic. Use a real tar - all my
problems went away :)
Try this one (or build your own) if you wish - you will have to use
-force-overwrite to override the busybox link
'opkg -force overwrite install

Hi.
I've started unzipping the "Hackable:1" tarball inside the GTA02 about
20 hours ago, and it is still going on.
It's sitting on an ext2 uSD partition and extracting into another.
The funny thing is, when I pull up "top", it mostly shows an idle
system (see below). The CPU is mostly idle, and in fact I can do
everything else at the same time very easily.
So the big question is: what the heck is locking up the tar process?
One thing that makes me suspicious of the kernel is the warning
printed by "top": "Unknown HZ value! (6) Assume 100." (and yesterday
it reported (5) instead of (6)...)
How can I debug this further?
