install on dreamplug
Posted: Wed Jul 06, 2011 10:10 am
I'm trying to run Amahi on a Dreamplug that has UBoot dated May 31 2011, which doesn't have ext2load available. I can install (to an SD card), but can't boot, presumably because the Uboot version doesn't have ext2load available.
I can think of three ways around the problem, but I don't have the skills to execute.
Option 1:
Reflash Uboot to add the ext2load command. I need detailed step by step instructions and a method to recover the existing Uboot should it fail. I didn't find http://oinkzwurgl.org/guruplug_uboot that easy to follow.
Option 2:
Modify the Amahi installation script so that it creates a dos boot partition. Alternatively, modify the existing ext3 installation on the SD card to create a dos boot partition and migrate /boot to that partition. I believe I would also need to modify /etc/fstab (how?) and one or more of the files in /boot (how?) to make this work.
Option 3:
Install Amahi to a microSD card and use this in place of the shipped microSD. Presumably this still leaves me with the missing ext2load problem.
Any help (in the form of step by step) greatly appreciated.
