eggonleahi, here's a question about initramfs: I did see the following scripts in /init which deals with root=/dev/nfs and export BOOT=nfs. Why I still need modify /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf to change BOOT from local to nfs?06:17
eggonleaI tried NOT to modify BOOT from local to nfs. The result is the export BOOT=nfs script in /init do NOT work.06:18
eggonleaI still saw BOOT=local by command "env", even if I pass "root=/dev/nfs" in bootargs in uboot.06:18
eggonleaPS: I'm using default Karmic release06:19
eggonlealinux-image-2.6.31-208-dove_2.6.31-208.16_armel.deb06:19
eggonleaIs it necessary to create another special uInitrd.nfs for nfs boot?06:21
eggonleathanks06:21
eggonleaSorry, I double checked the /init script and found I missed the following condition06:24
eggonlea/dev/nfs)06:24
eggonlea                        [ -z "${BOOT}" ] && BOOT=nfs06:24
eggonleait would NOT export BOOT=nfs if BOOT has another value already (local here).06:25
looleggonlea: You could try passing boot=nfs on the kernel cmdline06:26
loolOh /dev/nfs probably does the trick yes06:26
eggonlealet me try06:26
eggonleacould we just remove this "[ -z "${BOOT}" ]" in /init?06:26
eggonleawell, boot=nfs in cmdline works.06:29
eggonleawe have so many args here: netboot, boot, nfsroot=/dev/nfs, BOOT_in_initramfs.conf.06:30
eggonleaHave to go through the whole /init script to understand the priority. :(06:31
eggonleaanyway, boot_in_cmdline > BOOT_in_initramfs.conf > nfsroot=/dev/nfs_in_cmdline. Thanks!06:32

jean85_am not getting GUI for ubuntu on dvi... anybody help...08:15
Stskeepscheck /var/log/Xorg.0.log08:16
jean85_but am getting console version on dvi08:18
jean85_which image i should get for GUI?08:31
kblinjust log in and install xfce or whatever gui you want08:37
kblinjean85_: You could try installing xubuntu-desktop08:43
kblinbut maybe even that is too memory-hungry for the ram you have on a beagle08:44
kblinas I said, I've never hooked up a monitor to my beagles08:44
BeardedChimpI have compiled a kernel for my board, How to I generate the folders for it such that I can insert into my rootfs /lib/modules/2.6.....11:45
dmartTry make INSTALL_MOD_PATH=$PWD/modules-tmp modules_install12:10
dmartThis should build a suitable lib/modules tree in the scratch directory modules-tmp.12:11
BeardedChimpdmart: Cheers, I'll try that12:27
BeardedChimpdmart: Thank worked great cheers, I'm looking to do something similar for creating the linux-headers do you know a similar command?12:36
dmartCan't help you there I'm afraid... I'm guessing that simply copying linux/include may not work well enough.  You could maybe examine debian/rules for the Ubuntu kernel source packages and see how the kernel-headers-* packages are generated.12:38
dmartUnless you want to rebuild glibc or other low level components, you may get away with not having the correct kernel headers in your fs though.12:40
BeardedChimpYeah I don't need them at the minute because I compiled a newer kernel than came with the board for some hardware only supported later, before I was trying to compile the kernel module for the old (2.6.21) kernel but was stuggling with getting the correct kernel headers12:45
