Hi, Because of 0xFFFF website issues I wasn't able to find my way to the mailing list. (timeouts and server-side errors)
We are some people porting SHR(the currently most used distribution for the openmoko) on the n900(we have it running on other devices like htcdream and palm-pre too). We are at the beginning of the port and we're struggling with some boot issues. We are targeting micro-sd installations only for now. Note that I use only 0xFFFF(latest hg version). Basically I am able to flash and boot a self-compiled kernel, but only if the n900 is connected to a computer trough usb: so I tried that: ./0xFFFF -p kernel%.../linux-2.6.28/arch/arm/boot/zImage -R -D 0 The "..." are a long path. I also tried with -D 1 That flash and boots the kernel fine. Then when I reboot without the usb cable plugged in it "reboots" endlessly and I can only see the nokia logo and the device powering on and off, despite of having the framebuffer console compiled in the kernel(not as module). My theory is that the kernel is not booted at all, because if there was a kernel panic, like for instance when the rootfs is not found, it would display it on the framebuffer console and wait a bit because of the panic=20 that I put in CONFIG_CMDLINE Is it a 0xFFFF issue? Is there a solution? or where to look for the solution?
