Re: Introducing ubiboot N9 (multiboot OS loader)
 

@garp
Is this full output?
Then you are missing the preinit_harmattan file/link.
Furthermore your preinit is just a link to init (an executable). It should be a shell script. So something went awry.
permissions should be -rwxr-xr-x
Kernel will not start this way (idk if loading via kexec also fails already at this stage).
What you need for sure is the original preinit and the preinit_harmattan from juiceme (other repository preinits.tar.gz)).

Re: Introducing ubiboot N9 (multiboot OS loader)
 

OK thanks, only thing strange 'the original preinit' haven't changed that and where to get a new one?

Re: Introducing ubiboot N9 (multiboot OS loader)
 

From where you got also the kernel and cpio, but other folder
http://www.swagman.org/juice/ubiboot/other/
preinits.tar

Load to device and untar to rootfs
tar -xvf preinits.tar -C /

Re: Introducing ubiboot N9 (multiboot OS loader)
 

Yeah thought so have just tried with this code via ssh with preinits.tar in device MYDocs but message can't find directory etc?

garp@garp-Lenovo-B590:~$ sudo su
[sudo] password for garp:
root@garp-Lenovo-B590:/home/garp# ssh -i my_n9_identity root@192.168.2.15

Re: Introducing ubiboot N9 (multiboot OS loader)
 

Of course.
As MyDocs is not mounted and preinits.tar not in that directory.
You could mount MyDocs (see commands in my post about device backup) or more easy copy it directly to '/'.

Re: Introducing ubiboot N9 (multiboot OS loader)
 

But MyDocs is mounted and also the 3 other partitions both looking to Home map and Nautilus is'n it enough?:confused:

Just doing this:"Once the device reboots, keep the USB cable plugged in to enter “maintenance mode”. You will notice that the File Manager of your Linux Distribution will open and will mount/show all the partitions:"

By the way I have also unpacked preinits.tar to rootfs '/' by archive isn't it enough?

Just doing this

Re: Introducing ubiboot N9 (multiboot OS loader)
 

Move the file from MyDocs to '/' (rootfs, p2) from PC and try again. [You also use scp when in ssh session.]

Re: Introducing ubiboot N9 (multiboot OS loader)
 

Thanks but 'ruhig' now you know I'm not an expert!:D:
What's scp??

Sorry same result!:(:

Re: Introducing ubiboot N9 (multiboot OS loader)
 

So I had ubiboot running for a while, an older version that I installed in July.
I tried to update ubiboot to the latest version using the installation instructions here (basically flashing ubiboot kernel, copying over cpio etc and extracting preinits.tar. Now whenever I try to boot, no matter what I select (or even if I select nothing), I get the same issue as Garp: I can still access the filesystem if I connect to USB. Any ideas? Also, where is the log file stored?
