Introducing the DEF's Pack kernel chooser.

[Linux-SWAT]

Ok i think although i included a timeout, maybe it was too short.


Can you type :

sudo depmod -ae

And reboot.


Then check lsmod plz ?

 

[Linux-SWAT]

Hmm, I tried option 3, and my pandora boots up saying, cannot load kernel. Then it tells me to reflash.


Guess it might have been a bad idea to try that on HF6A4


Edit: Same thing happened with HF6


Edit: option 2 does not work for me under HF6 either.

I presume you rebooted immediately ?


I think the timeout was too short.


I tested many many times with different setups, but always with fast cards...


I requested testing before uploading to repo, but hasn't got any feedback :/


I'm sry about that.


Test the sudo depmod -ae plz.


BTW there's no need to reflash, you can copy kernel + modules from the rootfs :

Tell me if you need a precise walkthrough.

still giving me empty field

 

[Linux-SWAT]

Ok so i think the timeout is bad.


I will pull out my pack from the repo as long as it isn't fixed.


Do you want my help for repairing ?

i guess easiest is replace my existing file system on sd card from the rootfs download?


i.e. extractAngstrom-pandora-xfce-image-glibc-ipk-2010.4-test-20111010-omap3-pandora.rootfs.tar.bz2 (HF6)onto existing SD card?

 

[Linux-SWAT]

No.


Download this :


http://openpandora.org/firmware/pandora-rootfs.tar.bz2


Decompress it.


Remove all /boot/uImage* from your SD.


Copy the rootfs /boot/uImage-2.6.27.46-omap1 in your card, and name it uImage


Remove /lib/modules/2.6.27.46-omap1 from you SD.


Copy the rootfs /lib/modules/2.6.27.46-omap1 to your SD.


At first boot, open a terminal and type

sudo depmod -ae

Reboot.

I uploaded a new version.

No mine does not reboot immediately, It just tells me it fails to load the kernel. Then at the bottom I get the menu you would normally get if you hold R on bootup.

 

[Linux-SWAT]

I meant, you probably rebooted just after having installed the kernel.

Ahh, yea I did.


So it was still setting up stuff?

same thing happening


lsmod gives empty fields


wifi not working

 

[Linux-SWAT]

What happens if you select the official kernel ?

Probably.


If the SD led continues to blink after the "you can reboot now", data is still writing.

 

[Linux-SWAT]

I just noticed that N64 emulation doesn't work with kernels other than official ones.


I think i has something to do with one of the debugging options.


Does someone has some more feedback about the installer timeout ?

Sure it's only N64? Do ANY of the 3D games run?


The kernel needs the properly compiled 3D driver module.

 

[Linux-SWAT]

Well, 3D in PSX emulation is perfect.


Notaz didn't mentioned that there is another thing to compile ^^.


I long for a mainline kernel :/.
