Boot OE from a CompactFlash card

[gordu]

Hmm...running out of ideas here. Part of my problem is I have a mmc card not a CF card. Can you from the u-boot cmd line do
   - pinit on
   - fatls ide 0

Also when you created the partitions on your CF card you made the first one a fat partition right? u-boot I seem to recall only has support for fat, although u-boot seems to understand your CF enough to read the gumstix-factory.script.

Here's gumstix-factory.script from the CF card:

# tests for mmc card presence to determine if booting from mmc or cf

# so we can set the command line accordingly.

# the command line is used by initramfs' /init script to load the

# correct set of modules# if neither mmc or cf exist, then boot the
flash file system from jffs2

if mmcinit; then

setenv bootargs rw console=ttyS0,115200n8 reboot=cold,hard MEDIA=MMC

fatload mmc 0 a1000000 uImage; && fatload mmc 0 a2000000 ramdisk.img

else

if pinit on; then

setenv bootargs rw console=ttyS0,115200n8 reboot=cold,hard MEDIA=CF

fatload ide 0 a1000000 uImage; && fatload ide 0 a2000000 ramdisk.img

else

setenv bootargs root=1f01 rootfstype=jffs2 console=ttyS0,115200n8
reboot=cold,hard

fsload && bootm

fi

fi

bootm a1000000 a2000000

Hi guys,

Also, presumably, the fact that you're running the gumstix-factory
script means that pinit on was already done by u-boot before the
script is running, so try removing the mmc stuff and the pinit on from
your factory script.

I seem to recall some issues with some versions of u-boot related to
issuing multiple pinit on commands, but things are hazy...

Any reason you haven’t upgraded to u-boot 1.2? You may have an easier time with all this if you tried using u-boot 1.2

I think because upgrading u-boot requires a serial connection, which I
was originally hoping not to have to deal with. My ideal goal is also
to have to do nothing besides making a copy of the CF card, since the
plan is to kinda-mass purchase gumstix boards.

Thanks for the other suggestions. I'll give them a shot tomorrow.

So I went to do stuff today, and I think I fried the board. I got this once:

U-Boot 1.1.4 (Nov  6 2006 - 11:20:03) - 400 MHz - 1161

*** Welcome to Gumstix ***

U-Boot code: A3F00000 -> A3F25DE4  BSS: -> A3F5AF00
RAM Configuration:
Bank #0: a0000000 64 MB
Flash: 16 MB
Using default environment

SMC91C1111-0
Net:   SMC91C1111-0
Hit any key to stop autoboot:  1

And now when I connect to the serial port, I get one weird character
(I can't tell what the byte value is), then nothing when I power up
the board. Am I right in thinking that the base board is fried? I
think it happened because the netcf board came off when I was plugging
in the power cord, which has happened pretty frequently. Any advice
for keeping the boards together?

Did you build the filesystem image yourself, or are you using one of the premade ones from gumstix.net? If you built it yourself it could be that you have /bin/sh linked to dash as is common on ubuntu.  If you build an image with dash as your shell it will build, but booting will freeze at freeing init memory.  Might be worth a quick check to see if thats the case for your build...

I thought I had made sure to do the fix for the sh/dash issue, but
I'll check it again. Thanks.

I got farther this time. I did a bitbake gumstix-basic-image,
repopulated the rootfs/dev directory (as the how-to at
http://www.klc.net.nz/linux/?page_id=10 says to do), and copied
everything in rootfs over to the CF card.

Here's everything after the line where it froze before. Not quite sure
what the problem is. Physically damaged CF card maybe?
