Oh... well.
Problem is my Nspire isn't connected to my PC. Am I supposed to type this on the Nspire?
(if yes, what stands for AltGr?)

"SysRq: not found"

(with expanded config).

I'd do it, but have no idea how to do this.

//Oops; deleted the message above.
Just a question: did anyone ever succeeded in booting Linux on Clickpad?

Of course, it's been made on CX. I also saw it's been made on Touchpad (http://ourl.ca/17131/326297). But did anyone made it on a Clickpad?

My friend doesn't want to downgrade his OS to 3.1 :-(

Tell him how better OS 3.1 is for Clickpads, even without Ndless.

You get much more free space, fewer bugs, faster OS*, ect...
*3.1 isn't faster than others. 3.2 just happen to be much slower in some cases.

I've been trying a few configs again.

So, it seems to be "quite" ok with any recent zImage found on TI-Planet and the initrd from here:

He referred to it as ramdisk..

The only problem left being getting "can't open /dev/ttyAMA0: no such device of address" every second or so.
I could still manage to type a few commands, and they are working OK.

It gives me the same result as "cmdline root=/dev/ram".

OK, so, with just cmdline root=/dev/ram, it freezes as described in the first post.
With cmdline root=/dev/ram console=ttyAMA0, it also freezes, but nothing gets printed on the screen (except Tux).

Well, this is what I was using...

I have just rebooted the Nspire, and I have the error again (did not changed anything).
One again, and no problem this time...

PS: Also, if I make a mistake in the login the first time, the keyboard then acts strangely: I can't only type things such as * or /.

Edit: What the? I was logged, tried a few commands, and it asked me for the login again! (could not type it as described above).
Edit2: Reboot, same problem, typed a dummy login name, and now I just have semi random strings (like P __[ord instead of Password^^).

Now working, thanks!

Code: [Select]

cmdline root=/dev/ram console=ttyAMA0

Thanks, that is way better. It now asks me for the username but... I have got this error every one second or so:
"can't open /dev/ttyAMA0: no such device of address"

EDIT: Same behaviour with the expanded zImage.

I tried to search for "initrd" using the search tool, but could not found any (except one from you which is way too big to fit on a Clickpad^^).

Thanks for the link. However, linux still freezes at the same point.

TI-Nspire / Re: nspire Linux Questions

« on: December 20, 2012, 08:55:56 am »

I thought this was optional.
Can you give me a link to a minimal initrd please?

Hi,

I've been trying launch linux on my Clickpad CAS.
I got the latest version of nll, and the latest zImage build here: https://tiplanet.org/nspire-linux-builds/ (Success at 20121219_1910 for version v3.6-12887-g8db42e4, config expanded)

I'm using this script:

Code: [Select]

kernel linux/zImage.tns
cmdline root=/dev/ram
boot

However, linux always freeze here:

Code: [Select]

[<c0441f00>] (dump_stack+0x0/0x1c) from [<c044201c>] (panic+0x84/0x1dc)
[<c0441f98>] (panic+0x0/0x1dc) from [<c0546d6c>] (mount_block_root+0x278/0x2cc)

//Might be a few errors in the addresses, it's hard to copy :P

(I tried several zImages on TI-Planet, and it fails at the same point).

Any idea?
