Re: [Soekris] Combination of EXT2 & JFFS2 (as RootFS) don't boot Soekris net4521
Hi, The Initrd and Ram disk support in linux kernel along with JFFS2 related stuff solved the problem related to reboot. Sorry Stuart ... for using wrong forum for discussion But It will be very helpful if you have a special forum for OS related issues ... Thanks for having discussion with me ...

Re: [Soekris] Combination of EXT2 & JFFS2 (as RootFS) don't boot Soekris net4521
Hi , >So the problem seems to lie within the kernel - after all it's the kernel that reboots, not Lilo (AFAIK > Lilo can't do that). >Kernels have bugs too. But , I tried same kernel image to boot my computer, it worked fine ... All jffs2 modules got inserted properly Not even that I am using same kernel image now... >You could try fdisk-ing the CF again with the real CHS values the Soekris combios sees as args to > fdisk. Still, Lilo would usually display as screenful of 0x0N's if it fails to load the kernel I will definitely try this option today ... Hope I will get an error this time to figure out where I am going wrong .. Thanks ... Have a Gr8 day .. -- Regards, ****** Bhagyashri Katole Project Engineer NISG, C-DAC Pune,India ___ Soekris-tech mailing list Soekris-tech@lists.soekris.com http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech

>Any chance you had the geometry wrong/different when creating >the partitions (since you probably did the installation >on a different computer)? I did not get any error while preparing and mounting JFFS2 partitions on different computer .. I successfully copied RootFS on 2nd partition ... > Or does that even apply to CF? Why not ?? bcos I am not booting linux kernel using JFFS2 partition ...

Hi Bill, Thanks for Reply >Also make sure that your system is configured for serial output, or you will have a similar problem >once the kernel has booted. Yes , I checked my system is configured for serial output ... /boot/lilo.conf is as follows - boot=/dev/sdb disk=/dev/sdb bios=0x80 lba32 delay=1 image=/boot/bzImage root=/dev/mtdblock0 append="console=ttyS0,19200n8" label=linux-JFFS2 read-only When I again tried to install LILO after increasing size of boot partition .. , Now LILO reboots continuously after msg "LILO loading Linux ." Is there any problem with lilo.conf as I set root to /dev/mtdblock0 ??? Waiting for reply ..... Regards ..

[Soekris] Combination of EXT2 & JFFS2 (as RootFS) don't boot Soekris net4521
Hi , I am trying to boot Soekris net4521 using CF with combination of EXT2 and JFFS2 filesystems. I made boot partition using LILO boot loader and EXT2 filesystem. /boot/fstab as follows /dev/mtdblock0 / jffs2 defaults,rw,noatime,sync0 0 /dev/hda1 /boot ext2defaults,rw,sync,noatime1 1 I prepared JFFS2 partition with RootFS .. When Soekris net4521 boots, it does nothing after ... LILO loading Linux ... Please help me to solve this problem if someone tried this combination before ..
