Re: U-Boot for Nokia RX-51 with BootMenu (updated version 2012.10-rc3-1)
 

Pali, one noob question:
How does a u-booted kernel know where to take the modules from?
Is the link to current changed by u-boot? This is not part of config. Our just changing current to uname -r?

Re: U-Boot for Nokia RX-51 with BootMenu (updated version 2012.10-rc3-1)
 

On linux, modprobe loading modules from directory /lib/modules/`uname -r`/. Insmod needs full path to module. On maemo more parts using insmod and using /lib/modules/current which is symlink to some kernel directory.

Problem is that this symlink is changed only after (re)installing -modules package. Kernel power has postinst script which replacing current with `uname -r` in /sbin/preinit which seems to fixing these problems.

Ah okay, I see.

As I have a multiboot preinit, I thought this is multiboot related (link changed on every boot) and asked myself how u-boot handles this. But now it is clear.

Thanks for explanation.

Is there a way to load different key mapping (automatically) at start of u-boot?
I damaged my hw keyboard, whole first left key column is gone (sym, fn, shift) + right and down arrows.
So basically if something would go wrong there is nothing I can do now, including choosing another kernel in u-boot.

keys functions are in uboot rx51.c code

Thank you very much for quick reply.
Keep up the good work!

Oh well, after some reading it became obvious to me, that task of remapping modifier keys and what more important making it into my own working u-boot image is beyond me. :(

Would you please include in next update ability to navigate through selection menu using only one arrow key, like in bootmenu?

BTW> USB Host support in u-boot with ability to run images from external drive and type commands from full sized keyboard would be most awesome feature ever :)

can you use u-boot with multiboot? it seems that after i install u-boot the multiboot takes it's place , the u-boot screen dissapear after the second reboot , any fix to this?

Re: U-Boot for Nokia RX-51 with BootMenu (updated version 2012.10-rc3-1)
 

Oh dear, this has been discussed a zillion times.
multiboot flashes kernel onto NAND.
u-boot loads kernels from any partition.

In that moment you select a kernel from multiboot, this kernel is flashed and the u-boot attached kernel is gone for good.

You should decide to use u-boot only.
You may boot all Maemo kernels, other OSes and also nitdroid (see forum.nitdroid.com).

There is also a possibility to have u-boot combined with multiboot (like I still have, manual edit of /sbin/preinit necessary), but it is not really an option when you do not know what each of the systems does.
