Hello
I am trying to make a file system for my beagleboard using the rootsock command:
rootstock --fqdn beagleboard --login ubuntu --password temppwd --imagesize 2G --seed wget,nano,linux-firmware,wireless-tools,usbutils,build-essential --dist lucid --serial ttyS2 --script fixup.sh --components “main universe multiverse” --kernel-image http://rcn-ee.homeip.net:81/dl/mirrors/deb/kernel/beagle/karmic/v2.6.32.11-x12/linux-image-2.6.32.11-x12_1.0karmic_armel.deb
This takes a lot of time to build and then the system seems to get stuck at the stage: Switching to Virtual Machine for second stage processing
I have built filesystems before and they did take a lot of time with rootstock. But this time I let the thing run for more than 6 hours but still i didnt get the file system.
The entire stages produced by the rootstock command can be found here: http://pastebin.com/3NmSipvs
Please enlighten me as to what could be the possible problem.
Regards
Hello
I am trying to make a file system for my beagleboard using the rootsock
command:
What version of rootstock? (bzr version-info if installed from bzr) or
was it apt-get'ed thru jaunty, karmic, lucid, maverick?
rootstock --fqdn beagleboard --login ubuntu --password temppwd --imagesize
2G --seed wget,nano,linux-firmware,wireless-tools,usbutils,build-essential
--dist lucid --serial ttyS2 --script fixup.sh --components "main universe
multiverse" --kernel-image
http://rcn-ee.homeip.net:81/dl/mirrors/deb/kernel/beagle/karmic/v2.6.32.11-x12/linux-image-2.6.32.11-x12_1.0karmic_armel.deb
As hard as try to make things easy for people you still "FAIL"... I
100% guarantee "--dist lucid" and "karmic/v2.6.32.11-x12" will NOT
EVER boot.. use "lucid/v2.6.32.11-l12"

My answer depends on the version ^^^

I apt-get’ed it thru karmic.
As hard as try to make things easy for people you still “FAIL”… I
100% guarantee “–dist lucid” and “karmic/v2.6.32.11-x12” will NOT
EVER boot… use “lucid/v2.6.32.11-l12”
My apologies. I did not paste the correct rootstock command in the mail. On the terminal, before executing this command, I did replace --dist lucid with --dist karmic. So this problem I am getting is with --dist karmic and karmic/v2.6.32.11-x12.
I am not able to determine the version of my rootstock. Though I have earlier successfully made file systems with it for the beagle.
That's not good, having 'lucid' set as the dist would explain the
error, specially in 'karmic'.. I would say try again making sure you
have the correct arguments. But if it fails again, there isn't alot
that can be done* specially with your version of rootstock as it is
now over a year old and your base os (karmic) is too old to run
rootstock trunk..
* you can file a bug report on ubuntu launchpad against rootstock in
karmic, but i doubt any developers will look at it.. It's just too
old...

Hello Robert
I fixed the rootstock problem and was able to make my file system.
But their is some difference in the filesystem i have made and the pre-built filesystems that were available when lucid had not yet come out and karmic/v2.6.32.11-x12 was the latest version. The pre-built filesystem had the driver rt73usb. But the filesystem I have made hasnt got one.
An option i have is to install rt73usb on the beagle, but when i tried doing this some time back, i got certain errors for which i had to use certain patches. In brief, it was very hectic and still did not work properly.
Could you please point out an easy way of getting rt73usb, like how did the pre-built filesystems had it?
My host system is running ubuntu Karmic.
Regards
Seriously?

Ok.Apparently my level of comprehension is not at its best.
So what you are doing here is basically checking for rt73usb.ko in linux-image-2.6.32.11-x12_1.
0karmic_armel.deb. Is that rite?
I did that on my system and I got what you have posted above. But when i load ubuntu on the beagle and do “lsmod”, i do not get rt73usb. With the wifi-adpater plugged in i get rt2x00 errors. Further when i tried doing “insmod tmp/lib/modules/2.6.32.11-x12/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/rt73usb.ko” I got the following error: insmod: error inserting ‘rt73usb.ko’: -1 Unknown symbol in module
Could you please point out where to go from here.
Regards
Yeah I've gone over this before.. Don't ismod rt73usb.ko, it'll never
work as it had dependices..
Go search the beagleboard archives it's there..
Hint: http://groups.google.com/group/beagleboard
Search "rt73usb" find a post originally written by bahri, look for my
reply on "Fri, 23 Apr 2010 2:58:23 PM".. Something about 'depmod -a'
Regards,
BTW, the version 0.1.99.4 is out.

Thanks Nelson. The boards and the drivers are working now-though one of the boards is acting funny, but well it will do for the time being.
Thanks A Lot.
