Hi,
After building kernel, I am learning how to build rootfile system. Could you please tell me if I want to locate my rootfile in the SD card as the way Angstrom do, how should I config the linux kernel file system?
I am still learning so my question maybe studpid, please let me know if there is sth wrong.
Best regards,
Thang Nguyen
Is it true that we can config the linux kernel so it can locate the rootfile at different places?
Yes, you can locate the rootfs pretty much anywhere provided the drivers to mount the location are built into the kernel. If they aren’t then you can use a initrd to load drivers and then mount the rootfs - so if you were sufficiently insane you could mount the rootfs using SSHFS. There probably aren’t any realistic options beyond NFS, SD card or USB drive. There isn’t really anything special about the BeagleBoard from this perspective so try Google and you should find lots of info…
Hi,
After following the configuration in this instruction:
http://wiki.davincidsp.com/index.php/Creating_a_Root_File_System_for_Linux_on_OMAP35x
There is one difference is in the compile link I point to my local storing the CodeSourcery folder.
/home/naruto/CodeSourcery/Sourcery_G++_Lite/bin
I do make and got errors about PAM package. By doing some researches, someone talking about missing the PAM package, but I don’t sure where should be this package locates and how to fix it.
I looked into the loginutils/login.c file to locate where these files are called:
#include <security/pam_appl.h>
#include <security/pam_misc.h>
But I cannot find where the security folder is? I guess this is the reason. Could you please tell me how I should fix this?
This is the make log:

The method there is so 5 years ago. You mentioned angstrom in a previous mail, so why not follow the instructions on the angstrom website for that[1]?
regards,
Koen
[1] It stumps me why people keep following other guides and are surprised when those don't work, I always check upstream first for instructions.
Koen,
I know that Angstrom OpenEmbedded is good, I used it already. But I am learning, so I just try to build it manually.
