Re: [Ipodlinux-devel] updated kernel patch available

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

Hi Chandan,

I'm not having any trouble running multiple binaries from the startup
shell script.  The previous patch to the PAGE_OFFSET etc seemed to have
fixed that problem.

The other possibility is a problem with your uClibc.  Are you using the
one in the toolchain or a newer one?  I am building all my tools from
the full uClinux source distribution.  If you haven't already I'd
suggest downloading that (and get then get iPod updates from my CVS
tree).  That build uses a very recent uClibc, all the various tools have
been patched to work correctly under uClinux.  I've update the build
documentation online with more information on the uClinux-dist build.

My script to get things up on the iPod

insmod /lib/modules/2.4.20-uc0/kernel/arch/armnommu/mach-ipod/ieee1394.o
insmod /lib/modules/2.4.20-uc0/kernel/drivers/ieee1394/eth1394.o
ifconfig eth0 10.0.0.1
inetd

inetd is configured to run telnetd as normal.

The only problem I have with my setup is that the password file is not
recognised so you just press enter,enter for the user and password
prompts :)

cheers,
bern.
