Help! Boot from MMC
I exactly followed the instruction to "How to install a dual boot menu" on maemo Wiki,
http://maemo.org/community/wiki/HowT..._From_MMC_card. After downloading the file from http://fanoush.wz.cz/maemo/initfs_flasher.tgz and # cd /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/ # tar zxvf initfs_flasher.tgz # cd initfs_flasher/ # ./initfs_flash something showed up like this ========Flasher for initfs with onscreen bootmenu======= Are you sure to contiune (yes/no) : After typing a Y, I was told Ok, see you later :-) According to the wiki, I am supposed to be asked some questions rather than just this. What happened? What should I do? Thanks |

Re: Help! Boot from MMC
thanks brother. I should type "yes" rather than "y".
But now, I got another problem. Please help. After booting from the internal falsh, I typed in the fllowing comands as the instruction suggests: sudo gainroot insmod /mnt/initfs/lib/modules/current/ext2.ko mount /dev/mmcblk0p2 /opt mkdir /floppy mount -t jffs2 /dev/mtdblock4 /floppy apt-get -d install tar. I was told that reading package lists...........Done building dependency tree..... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situatio or if you are using the unstable disribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been removed out of incoming. since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that the package is simply not istallable and a bug report against that package should be filed. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following package have unmet dependencies: osso-bttools: Depends: bluez-utils (>= 2.25) but it is not going to be installed. E: Broken packages /home/user # I ignored the warning and went ahead with mkdir /tar-temp/ cd /var/cache/apt/archives/ dpkg -x tar*.deb /tar-temp/ but I was told dpkg -deb: failed to read archive 'tar*.deb': no such file or directory What should I do now? Thanks |
Re: Help! Boot from MMC
You should check if you have files in /var/cache/apt/archives...
> cd /var/cache/apt/archives > ls -al tar*.deb You should see several files listed. If you don't tar wasn't downloaded. Go back and try > apt-get -d install tar and answer Y to any questions it asks. Then check the directory again. If you see the tar*.deb files this time, you are good to go and you can continue with the dpkg command. |
Re: Help! Boot from MMC
Thanks, bother.
Already checked /var/cache/apt/archives no tar*.deb there. Then I went back to redo apt-get -d install tar several times. but still got the same message, even when I disconnected internet. The following packages have unmet dependencies: osso-bttools: Depends: bluez-utils (>= 2.25) but it is not going to be installed. E: Broken packages. What should i do now? is there anyway I can install the tar? Please help. I already formatted the mmc and don't know how to come back. |
Re: Help! Boot from MMC

Re: Help! Boot from MMC
that's probably because a bunch of files are missing from the maemo repository. It's proobably looking here:
http://repository.maemo.org/pool/mae...b/bluez-utils/ and those files show up as not found. However, if you turn on "red pill" mode you should be able to install the version from here: http://repository.maemo.org/pool/mae...b/bluez-utils/ that version is still available, and will probably work fine. |
Re: Help! Boot from MMC
I'm in the middle of the process (copying system files to MMC) after flashing IT 3.2006-49-2 and have found that tar is already installed, so no need to apt-get it.
So, the updated install instructions would read: tar cf - -C /floppy . | tar xvf - -C /opt not: # apt-get -d install tar # cd /var/cache/apt/archives/ # mkdir /tar-temp/ # dpkg -x tar*.deb /tar-temp/ # /tar-temp/bin/tar cf - -C /floppy . | /tar-temp/bin/tar xvf - -C /opt Hope this helps, Dylan |
