Summary: - F9 kernels don't boot on the XO from an SD card -- even if we get the initrd to have the right modules, the initrd loads the modules, creates the device nodes, and yet fails to mount /dev/root -- - dsd has a nice "fixup F9 for XO" script described here http://www.reactivated.net/weblog/archives/2008/08/regular-linux-desktops-on-the-xo/ The script builds a custom 2.6.25 which I think pulls in a few additional patches (sound, etc), but most importantly, it builds the mmc related drivers statically. It also sets up an initrd. If we try to boot with the initd, it fails. But if we skip the initrd, the system boots. So there are two avenues - Figuring out what is wrong with the initrds, and fix mkinitrd. Help would be welcome here from people who know more about debugging initrds :-) (is there a way to get dumped into a nash shell when it all breaks?) - Build a kernel exactly like Fedora 9 kernels, but with the mmc drivers built statically. This is what I am am doing right now, following the nice guide at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/CustomKernel cheers, martin -- martin.langhoff@xxxxxxxxx martin@xxxxxxxxxx -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
