Im so close, but it keeps stopping. Below is the output from the serial link. I dont know what I am missing... Waiting 3sec before mounting root device... kjournald starting. Commit interval 5 seconds EXT3 FS on mmcblk0p3, internal journal EXT3-fs: recovery complete. EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. VFS: Mounted root (ext3 filesystem). Freeing init memory: 116K Warning: unable to open an initial console. I followed the tutorial at mini2440.spaceopera.org/... any ideas?
Android linuxrc failure
You really use EXT3? Isn't it is only best for mechanical harddrives? Also I wonder why it says "recovery complete".
you need to get an initial console: on your root filing system you need to generate the following in /dev cd /dev bash# mknod null c 1 3 bash# mknod tty1 c 4 1 bash# mknod tty2 c 4 2 bash# mknod tty3 c 4 3 bash# mknod tty4 c 4 4 There may be other errors that cannot print. also you cannot reliably use EXT3 for flash. once you get into the android boot scripts they will generate the other needed nodes. PLEASE people , if you are going to fool about , use a NFS to do your work it will save you a shit load of time, in this case , you can remotely generate the missing 'devs', then re-boot. Also by using NFS you can check the file system is good on the remote system..... Saving time and effort as well as standing on a firm base is fundamental to system development
I did as you said with the /dev adds, but still getting the same error as before. As I am new to this, what/where do I get NFS? What is the command to access? You also said that EXT3 is not a good reliable, what should i have formated the SD card to?
