Re: Final status of CFBoot: msg#00120

Subject:	Re: Final status of CFBoot

Dear all,

I tried several ways to boot from the CF, but unsuccessfully. Can you pleasefeedback on steps.

First the CF card has two partitions; a 6MB FAT16 one and a ~2GB Ext2partition. On the FAT partition I have

1. Haret
2. wrap-haret
3. startup.txt with the following contents:
set KERNEL zImage
set MTYPE 341
set CMDLINE "root=/dev/hda2 rootdelay=5"
bootlinux

4. zImage: zImage-2.6.13-hh1+cvs20051221-h2200-20060209195359

On the second partition, I have the rootfs(gpe-image-v0.8.3-h2200.rootfs.tar.bz2) untarred.

What I see is that there is a difference in the version between both thezImage and the rootfs, do you think this could be a reason why it is hangingforever?

One question: after haret does the screen go black for 10 minutes withoutany character displayed?


I appreciate a fast response.

Mohammed

If the ext2 partition is the second partition, then try this:

set KERNEL zImage
set MTYPE 341
set CMDLINE "root=/dev/hda2 rootdelay=5"
bootlinux
