Hi Martin, thanks for your post and your work. You asked me to give feedback on this Mailinglist. I hope it works.
I just tried your new instructions and here is my feedback: ---------- _My Setup_ Installing Debian on the mSD Card of a GuruPlug Plus. Loading the installer from a USB drive. Using the u-boot from plugcomputer.org (http://www.plugcomputer.org/index.php/us/resources/downloads?func=select&id=15) worked to boot the installer from usb drive. Date of the installer files I used are: uImage 08-Jun-2010 11:05 1.4M uInitrd 08-Jun-2010 11:06 2.5M _Loading the Installer_ Env setup works as you describes it, but I had to make changes on the usb load command. On the guruplug the mSD card is device 0 and a usb disk will be device 1, so the correct commands for me were: fatload usb 1:1 0x01100000 /uInitrd fatload usb 1:1 0x00800000 /uImage Repository worked as you described it. What command would be required to install squeeze with the special kernel? _Installation_ I formated my mSD Card as: #1 primary 98.6 MB f ext2 /boot #2 primary 15.8 GB f ext4 / Both with noatime mount option to conserve the mSD card. I didn't use a swap partition. The installation process looks good, no errors and it finished with the reboot. _Booting the Installation_ This part was not successful. The uboot-version I downloaded from plugcomputer doesn't know the command ext2load. I flashed the other uboot you mentioned from Clint Adams but the same again: Marvell>> ext2load Unknown command 'ext2load' - try 'help' Marvell>> help [...] echo - echo args to console editenv - edit environment variable fatinfo - print information about filesystem fatload - load binary file from a dos filesystem fatls - list files in a directory (default /) Marvell>> version U-Boot 2010.03-01266-g42f7128 (May 23 2010 - 19:25:42) Marvell-GuruPlug ----------- Maybe some option would be to store the kernel in the nand as described here: http://bzed.de/posts/2010/05/installing_debian_on_the_guruplug_server_plus/ Or to use fat for /boot/. But on the long run we should get a uboot which supports ext2load :) Kind regards Kevin Zuber -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-arm-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
