Re: [Gumstix-users] unable to open an initial console

[Alex K. <ale...@nt...>]

Hi Len,

	I do have the Net-MMC board fitted but no card.

With regard to the corrupt JFFS2 partition I have tried waiting 6hrs+ =
with
no further messages. I can also view the file system OK from uBoot and =
can
see /dev/console.

As far as I can see the build process completed OK i.e. it ran start to
finish with no errors. I was wondering if there have been any changes to =
the
serial port naming used by the kernel?

I've been building on a Debian with the 2.4 kernel so I have had the =
usual
depmod problems. Not sure if there is anything else about my build
environment that could cause this.

Rgds,

	Alex.

Alex,

I just noticed something else that may be important.  I don't know=20
whether you have a Net-MMC board attached to your connex, but after=20
inserting a micro-SD card into my (verdex) unit's net-microSD, the first =

message after the "protocol family" message is a report of initializing=20
the mmcblk0 MMC/SD block driver.

So the problem you're seeing is still likely related to the new JFFS2=20
image since that appears to be the most recent change to your setup. But =

it may also relate to the relationship between your hardware and the=20
configuration of the freshly built root image.
