RE: [iPAQ] Error on booting

OK, more info!

I started to install nvrd, and changed the boot.params file (incorrectly
- I left out the bit about "set linuxargs ") to give the kernel less
memory, but didn't continue. Then, the ipaq was rebooted. Now it
doesn't boot - the last thing it says is that it attempted to kill init.

I've changed the linuxargs settings on the bootloader back to what it
was, and also tried to to boot into /bin/sh, with the same results. It
seems to start the getty, and then gets a kernel panic - don't know if
this is memory related. I don't think that I have modified linuxrc to
load the nvrd module yet, but can't remember for sure. However, that
should not be a problem when trying to init into the shell.

I don't know if this is fixable, and if I should just reflash from
scratch. I'd rather fix it, but will reflash if necessary.

Here is the full error report:

It happens. Should be harmless. But if you're using a 2.4.17-rmk5 kernel
built from a CVS checkout from hh.org before 2002/02/26 22:18:55 UTC,
upgrade it now.

> Child dir "." (ino #1) of dir ino #1 appears to be a hard link

Upgrade your mkfs.jffs2. Still harmless though.

Can't do anything with this without the corresponding System.map. It's
unlikely to be directly related to the above messages, though.

Jamey - we don't have System.map in the kernel packages, do we? Could we

add it, and possibly a ksymoops package?
