Maybe some issues with USB 1.1.

In a previous post I wrote it's slower than hell.

how can I start blackbox? It doesn't come with a replace option and can't start without x.

//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?
//End of deleted message.

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:
http://ourl.ca/17131;msg=266194
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.

Classic calculators have different serial hardware. They're accessed through tty0. Try using console=tty0

Thanks for your anwser.

Here is my script right now:
Code: [Select]
kernel linux/zImage.tns
initrd linux/initrd.tns
cmdline root=/dev/ram console=tty0
boot

I still get the error.

Hmmm. It's probably in the initrd then.

Mount the initrd and edit the etc/inittab file. Comment out the line that starts with ttyAMA0:: and unmount.

If you have no idea what that means, ask the person who gave you the initrd :P

Well, I'm going to ask you :P.

The only initrd I found which did not ended up in a kernel panic was this one: http://ourl.ca/17131;msg=266194 .

@tangrs
I don't know if I did this right because I don't know what you mean by mounting.
I entered the following commands:
cd ..
ls
cd etc
ls
---------
The file inittab was there so I wrote: vi initab. However, the file was empty...

On a linux pc, run the following:
Code: [Select]
mount -t ext2 -o loop initrd.tns /mnt
cd /mnt/etc
vi inittab
cd /
umount /mnt

There's no package manager or repository: you'll have to compile them by yourself, using the toolchain produced by buildroot (which you need to compile as well).
