 Posted: Tue Feb 28, 2006 4:12 am Post subject: 2 problems with NSLU2 (slug) |
 |
|
1) I want to be able to boot into OpenSlug when my USB enclosure is not plugged in but the boot fails with a red Ready led. It boots fine with the drive plugged in. Here is my /boot/linuxrc, which I am using in place of the default /boot/flash file. I have a feeling there are errors with this setup since I cobbled it together myself:
| Code: |
#!/bin/sh
/bin/mount -t proc proc /proc
export TZ=PST-8PDT
sleep 3
/bin/mount -t ext3 /dev/sda3 /mnt/gentoo
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
/bin/umount /mnt/gentoo
/bin/mount -rt jffs2 /dev/mtdblock4 /mnt/gentoo
/sbin/init
else /bin/umount /proc
cd /mnt/gentoo
/sbin/pivot_root . mnt/initrd
# if you've got serial you might want to add
# < dev/console > dev/console 2>&1 to the following line
exec /usr/sbin/chroot . /sbin/init
exit 0
|
2. I have timezeone problems. I have an /etc/TZ on my mounted gentoo partition:
which gives the correct time if I do a 'date' command. However, internally the slug still uses its UTC time. I know this because commands that run through cron are executed at the "wrong" time, eight hours out of whack.
Thanks for your help.

About a year ago I was struggling with a simular problem. I found it a big help if I started a shell and entered the commands manualy. If something went wrong that gave me the change to find out why. Something like this :
| Code: |
#!/bin/sh
/bin/sh
/bin/mount -t proc proc /proc
... |
Then you would type
and just enter all the commands by hand. When you get everything right remove the /bin/sh line.
There's one thing in your linuxrc that I think might be the problem. init should be run with process id 1. That's why you have the exec in front of the "chroot . /sbin/init" command. Shouldn't you do the same thing when booting from flash ? Try this :
| Code: |
...
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
/bin/umount /mnt/gentoo
/bin/mount -rt jffs2 /dev/mtdblock4 /mnt/gentoo
exec /sbin/init
else /bin/umount /proc
...

Grtz, +O!
