Hi there - just got a wimax for Christmas and decided to give this a try. Everything checks out OK until I get to the final reboot where I should get to start up from the internal memory card.

I see the bootmenu OK but the control pad is disabled and then after 10 seconds or so I get the following error message
"WiMax:
Self test RF#2 failed, try to reboot the device.
If the problem persists, perform software update
or contact service."

I successfully reflash the device and start over. I can even install the boot-menu and then restart directly to the internal but I get the error when I add the memory card partition to the bootmenu.

Also, separate question - I've read that using a memory card as swap can shorten the life of the card. Since the wimax has an embedded card what is the best way to handle the partitioning and swap for the wimax? should I only be doing this on the external card?

thanks

Hello PB,

Just thought I would confirm that the above error probably exists for all WiMax editions, as I have tried to install bootmenu 7 times and gotten the same error each time and ended up reflashing my tablet back to the factory OS version just to get back the use of my tablet. Now I have looked at the bootmenu garage page and looked at the files there. What I have noted is that there are specific files for the R-34 and R-44 series of OS2007 & OS2008, but none for the R-48 (WiMax) series of OS2008. Is there any way you and STSKEEPS/ Fanoush can correct this oversight, as I do not know Linux OS well enough to compile, fix, etc.... this problem? Please consider this a request in regards to us w/ the WiMax version, Otherwise, I fear we will never be able to Clone OUR OS to the SD card (or should I say, cloning is successful, but booting to it is impossible) until this is resolved.....

I would be more than willing to be a Alpha/Beta tester for this in order to help facilitate your efforts in this regard....

PS. Hope you had a wonderful vacation......

I'm booting from the MMC2/internal card, but when I get to the enable swap menu my swap partition (also on MMC2/internal) is not visible. I know PB uses swap on the card alternate of his boot card. So is not possible or beneficial to use a swap partition on the same card one is booting from?

The issue (if Fanoush can get bootmenu working with the WIMAX, is that the error occurs with ct on the initial install of bootmenu and there is no opportunity to do the "upgrade" step AFAIK...

Just an FYI - I've agreed to test it if he works on it but there might be additional steps to get it working with ct.

Re: Introducing console-tools v1 (install-tools replacemement)

Hello, I am newbie for linux. I cannot enable swap partition though UI. I follow your advice to set the a 256MB swap partition to externel sd (booting from internal), I use swap menu to enable it. Command "free" displays swap partitions doesn't work even after reboot.

another confusion:

In my n810, "cat /proc/partitions" displays : mmcblk0 is my external sd and mmcblk1 is internal sd. but "df" is correct.

Code:

~ $ cat /proc/partitions

major minor  #blocks  name

Can you run these commands

fdisk -l /dev/mmcblk0

fdisk -l /dev/mmcblk1

sfdisk -l /dev/mmcblk0

sfdisk -l /dev/mmcblk1

cat /etc/fstab

ls -ltr /etc/init.d/

ls -ltr /etc/rc2.d

cat /etc/init.d/local.sh

Thanks,

As mentioned in the other thread tomstratton created for this, I have hopefully fixed keyboard handling for RX-48. However it sounds completely unrelated to the wimax error so if it doesn't help my only idea is that the 'remove unneeded extra and factory testing stuff' initfs_flasher step removes something needed for wimax device. What is your default in console-tools for this step, yes or no? No is safer and yes no longer makes much difference since Diablo release enlarged initfs partiton.

"Boot from mmc13 failed... rebooting from flash"
After using pb to clone and copy all data FROM mtdblock4 TO mmcblk1p3 (after partitioning)

See my full post here...

I'm going to reread this entire thread to see if I find any answers here.
