GNAP and separate partitions

Hello. I can use GNAP with separate partitions for rootfs and kernel ? My hardware platform RouterBoard 532a got it.

PS I'm build kernel and it's boot fine.

I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish here and wether it is possible. 
Perhaps you're better off asking on the Catalyst mailing list since GNAP 
relies on Catalyst.

Isn't that a MIPS based board? If so could you post your specs somewhere?

Thanks i'm try  it.

Yes It's MIPS board based on SoC IDT MIPS 79RC32434. You can view specs there http://www.routerboard.com/rb500.html
I'm used vanilla kernel 2.6.19.7 with freewrt and openwrt patches

I was thinking about the GNAP spec files you used:)

root passwd with a stage3 filesystem? (for nfs-root purposes)

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to use the filesystem obtained here below as an nfs root for 
my board.

${MIRROR}/experimental/arm/embedded/stages/stage3-arm-uclibc-softfloat-20050811.tar.bz2

Originally, I ran into some trouble when I allowed the default init 
routine to run, because it froze on 'starting local'. I eventually 
discovered that was because my main serial device should be /dev/ttyAM0 
instead of /dev/ttyS1 in /etc/inittab. I fixed that, and then found that 
I couldn't login as root, even after adjusting /etc/password to

root::0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
...

I wrote a very simple init script to mount things and run /bin/sh, but 
that generates 'kernel panic - attempt to kill init!' when I exit. I'd 
still like to use the default init scripts for now, so that inittab 
respawns a login prompt of some kind, but for some reason none of the 
password-changing methods I'm aware of have worked.

I've even tried to erase the root password entry in 
/etc/{passwd,shadow}*, but that didn't work. I've tried changing the 
password to nothing or 'password' using /bin/passwd, but that also 
doesn't work!

This is completely puzzling for me at the moment.

ack! plz help!

Chris

You are talking about logging in via serial console, right?
I may be completely on the wrong track here, but you may need to add
ttyAM0 to /etc/securetty to be able to log in as root.

cheers,

Customize a livecd

Hello,

To customize a gnap_core, can we use emerge? (if it possible, could  
you explain how, because I don't see any explations in your guide) Or  
the only solution is to create our own extensions?

Thank you ;)

Re: Customize a livecd

There is a gentoo-gnap mailing list now. Please direct GNAP questions
there.

Correction it's gnap-dev@

Here was the announcement 
http://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-embedded/msg_05681.xml

Good luck.

Re: Customize a livecd

gnap-dev <at> g.o was created only for development questinos, so of course
any question is welcome, but i think is a good idea to mantain "normal
gnap users" in embedded because mostly question can be common and all we
can learn more :)
