CLFS PowerPC - MAJOR BOOT ISSUES!
ok, i finally got past the 'returning from prom_init' error, but now i have another problem. Im trying to load a cross linuxfromscratch on an ibook G4. After the kernel loads, INIT starts and "populating /proc /sys" and "setting the console log level to 7" all work fine. But then, "Creating /dev in tmpfs" FAILS! The error is "mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on udev, missing codepage or helper program, or other error". Then "Copying static entries" fails because it says it is a read-only file system. SO... I tried changing in yaboot.conf the root filesystem to a read-write filesystem, and that error was SOLVED. BUT THEN when "starting udevd" i get the error "udevd[1078]: init_udevd_socket: error getting socket: Address family not supported by protocol". I think that this may be my foremost problem, whatever it means...
could anyone please help me? |

EDIT: After chasing down your previous post, where you mention the ibook G4, if you Google for this, there are lots of very clear docs on how to install Linux... http://www.colino.net/geek/powerbook/ibookg4.html http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-ppc.xml |
ok nevermind... i got it all to boot! It turns out that tmpfs filesystems were not enabled in the kernel! Unfortunately, i now am having issues with my keyboard... Please see my other post!
