Hi Thorsten,

thanks for the hint! 10 € plus shipping is a really nice price for this 
device, i don't think that i can withstand... ;-)


I will order one (or two?), too!

Regards,

Hi,

maybe interesting for some people here:
A Pogoplug is on sale for 10 € plus shipping:

http://estore.rhiem.com/bestellen/warenkorb.asp?con=DE&artikelnr=POGO-P24&sid=2&wid=1&mid=32&store=&menge=0

It probably has a Oxnas 7820 chipset and it can run Linux from a disk
connected to S-ATA:
http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv6/pogoplug-provideov3
http://archlinuxarm.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=2146

I've ordered one to install Slackware ARM ;-)

Thorsten

Hello!
Yes but that's the store in Europe. That is the firm's site somewhere
in Europe. Here they are largely promoting the V4 design. And their
sales e-mail alias is broken. Google Mail thinks its a Google Groups
alias..

Naturally complaining to it fell on deaf ears. And finding an easy way
to do so is rather difficult. It turns out that there are one or two
shops here still selling them but not enough.

Which modules did you add?

Re: [ARMedslack] Initrd fails to mount rootfs

2012-12-09 Thread Stuart Winter

So your issue is your u-boot parameters:

http://pastebin.com/XLyCFiGV

[0.00] Kernel command line: console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/sda3
rootdelay=10 rootfstype=ext4
mtdparts=orion_nand:1M(u-boot),4M(uImage),32M(rootfs),-(data)


It should be 'rootfs=' not 'rootfstype='.

Also Slackware's initrd uses 'waitforroot=' not 'rootdelay='.

Fix those and the kernel should work fine.
These haven't changed since 13.37 but I suspect 'mount' may be more picky
than previously.
