Attempts

1

  • Failure
    used cp -prv /versions/pristine/852/* /mnt/sd/. (it lit. takes HOURS to copy over); boot yields the following:
FATAL: Module scsi_wait_scan not found.
FATAL: Module scsi_wait_scan not found.
FATAL: Module scsi_wait_scan not found.
FATAL: Module scsi_wait_scan not found.
FATAL: Module scsi_wait_scan not found.


No root device found

Boot has failed, sleeping forever.
  • Noticed that OFW looks for root=LABEL=OLPCRoot or somesuch, and my SD was formatted mkfs.ext3 -v -L OLPC-SD (oops?).
    • Maybe editing /boot/olpc.fth with µemacs in OFW?
    • Manually specifying kernel arg/root dev. in OFW (until "in")?
  • Note: Penguin, not OLPC logo, shows in corner of screen... oopsie or intentional? [ shrugs shoulders ]
