[Jean-Charles T. <jea...@rd...>]

ok, thanks. I'll try this way.

I agree with you that my kernel problem are very strange :). I going to=20=

recompile from scratch and see if i get the same problem and i'll keep=20=

you informed.

Well, I've got several ohter questions:
-once i installed the kernel on my ipod what must i put on the root=20
partition
-i don't really understand the last part of the howto "building a=20
uClinux system for the ipod" called "user tools". What is it?

thanks,
jc.

Re: [Ipodlinux-devel] HFS+ and Kernel 2.4.24

[<One...@ao...>]

It seems that PPC OS X computers seem to have some troubles with the kernel 
version I assume due to big endian numbers. This is how I was able to bypass 
the problem:

The error I recieve is: 
"KERNELRELEASE "2.4.24-uc0" exceeds 64 characters"
If you receive that warning go into the Makefile in the root directory of the 
linux source and replace:
@expr length "$(KERNELRELEASE)" \<= $(uts_len) > /dev/null || \
with:
@expr `expr "$(KERNELRELEASE)" : '.*'` \<= $(uts_len) > /dev/null || \

Cheers, 
Jeff

Re: [Ipodlinux-devel] HFS+ and Kernel 2.4.24

[David C. <bus...@ho...>]

My solution was to replace the shipped broken version of expr with a working 
one.

I downloaded sh-utils from the gnu mirrors and
./configure --host=powerpc
make
then copied the expr binary to /bin
(don't do a make install, the gnu uname is broken on mac os x)

Re: [Ipodlinux-devel] HFS+ and Kernel 2.4.24

[Bernard L. <le...@bo...>]

There is a download from sourceforge "iPod Linux Userland".  This archive
contains all you need for the root partition.  This is also the "user tools".

[Ipodlinux-devel] iPod Linux Userland and HFS+

OK, but in this section the root file systems must be mounted as 
"msdos". But is it possible to use it with a HFS+ partition?

thanks,
jc.

Re: [Ipodlinux-devel] iPod Linux Userland and HFS+

[Bernard L. <le...@bo...>]

Sorry, I should have read your email better!

You can use this version, but you need to use UMSDOS to "convert" it to a
normal unix looking filesystem.

Fortunately I done this already and you can download it from the following URL:

<http://ipodlinux.sf.net/ipod_fs_030323.tgz>

You need to extract this one as root because it creates device files.

cheers,
bern.

Re: [Ipodlinux-devel] iPod Linux Userland and HFS+

[Jean-Charles T. <jea...@rd...>]

Thank you very much. If you were not here i would be lost :)

But it doesn't not work exactly, may be i think because i am a pure=20
newbie.....

I get the tgz file and when i try to unzip it to /dev/disk1s3 (it's the=20=

music partition of the ipod) i get the following error.

sudo unzip /travail/ipod/ipod_fs_030323.tgz
Archive:  /travail/ipod/ipod_fs_030323.tgz
   End-of-central-directory signature not found.  Either this file is =
not
   a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive.  In =
the
   latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found =
on
   the last disk(s) of this archive.
unzip:  can't find zipfile directory in one of=20
/travail/ipod/ipod_fs_030323.tgz or
         /travail/ipod/ipod_fs_030323.tgz.zip, and can't find=20
/travail/ipod/ipod_fs_030323.tgz.ZIP, period.

any idea?

thanks,
jc.

i unzipped ipod_fs_0323.zip on hda3 partition of my ipod, since my=20

.....warning: unable to open an inital console. Kernel panic: No init=20

When i am looking in the linux tree from the zip file, there is no=20
