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

Can you try it by reformatting the partition to ext2 and updating FS_TYPE in boot item file ?
I didn't try booting to archlinux but u-boot-update-boot-menu command didn't gave any errors.

I actually had that partition formatted to ext4 per the instructions on the blog....but for some reason, my n900 had problem with that.

So, that is why I reformatted partition to ext3.....

Meanwhile, someone over on the Arch thread suggested that I delete my boot menu entry file and start over. I did that and now when I did u-boot-update-bootmenu it worked without error message and when I rebooted I see the menu item!

Now, I just need to fix some Arch boot errors..... :rolleyes:

Thanks for all your help!

Thanks.

No :-) It is a platform thing.....

Hi, I have kernel 2.6.28.10-cssu3 installed.
This is my item file:

Code:

# ls -l /etc/bootmenu.d/

-rw-r--r--    1 root     root           217 May  4 23:08 20-ArchLinuxARM.item

-rw-r--r--    1 root     root            87 May  5 01:03 20-Maemo5-kernel-cssu.item

-rw-r--r--    1 root     root            82 Apr 20 16:56 30-U-Boot-2013.04-1.item

-rw-r--r--    1 root     root            99 May  4 23:34 99-backupmenu.item

This is the content of 20-Maemo5-kernel-cssu.item:

Code:

ITEM_NAME="Maemo 5 kernel cssu"

ITEM_KERNEL="kernel-2.6.28.10-cssu3"

ITEM_OMAPATAG="1"

Kernel already copied to /opt/boot :

Code:

# ls -l /opt/boot/

-rw-r--r--    1 root     root       1785748 May  4 21:34 kernel-2.6.28.10-cssu3

-rw-r--r--    1 root     root        212768 Apr 20 16:56 u-boot-2013.04-1.bin

This is the output when I run u-boot-update-bootmenu

Code:

# u-boot-update-bootmenu

But when I reboot and select "Maemo 5 kernel cssu" on u-boot, it always boot backupmenu.
Can't u-boot load kernel-cssu directly? Something wrong with my configuration?

Also backupmenu is not listed in u-boot menu. How can I add backupmenu to u-boot menu?

u-boot booting kernels not shell scripts. backupmenu is shell script which depends on linux kernel. so u-boot cannot boot backupmenu.

Slide keyboard *in* just after selecting "Maemo 5 kernel cssu" ;)

Otherwise, you may want to make it default boot entry, so u-boot will boot it automatically, if keyboard isn't slided *out* during boot.

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

Thanks Estel, it is boot to backupmenu because the keyboard was out.
I have set kernel-cssu as default entry and u-boot boot kernel-cssu right away.

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

u-boot doesn't read bootmenu.img.d and bootmenu folder on ext4 MyDocs , any hints? thank you

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

@Alecsandru: Make sure, you have last uboot version (2013.04-1), MyDocs is on first eMMC partition and you are not using new ext4 features (which are not supported by uboot).

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

I've successfully converted MyDocs and /home to ext4 ,but u-boot can't read ext4 MyDocs ( I think) , any hint on this ,can be fixed or we have to wait the new release? thank you for everything pali
