Hacking to no avail, I request your assistance getting Intimate to boot.
With Familiar v0.5.1 on my iPAQ 3650, I executed the Intimate installer
script to an NFS volume mounted via wireless 802.11b, and all went well.
To avoid wirless card module issues for now, I am booting to Familiar,
killing qpe, then executing /linuxrc.intimate.
I hacked the script in the following ways *trying* to get it working:
< NFSPATH="nfshost://where_I_installed_Intimate"
<
< # getting stuck here when trying to boot nfs.
< # comment out next line so we fall through the loop.
< # action=""
< echo "here we don't set action to null so questionaire loop ends"
--- > action="" < # we do not use pump, besides do not have killall < #killall -9 pump < echo "here we deleted killall -9 pump" --- > killall -9 pump < echo "by now we have pivot rooted. I added q to exec /sbin/init" < # exec /sbin/init < # /sbin/init says it needs a parameter. try this: < exec /sbin/init q --- > exec /sbin/init < #killall pump < echo "here we deleted killall pump. missing killall and not running pump." --- > killall pump < # again, /sbin/init says it needs a parameter < exec /sbin/init q --- > exec /sbin/init The result is as follows (pressin Q button or Cal, same results): bash-2.03# ./linuxrc.intimate Mounting /proc mount: proc already mounted depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.18-rmk3/kernel/drivers/char/profiler.o -- ----------------------------------------------- What would you like to do? CAL = INTIMATE (normal) TEL = FAMILIAR Q = INTIMATE using the BIND method --> = REBOOT Can\'t find /dev/hda1 You could try re-seating the sleeve or the card/drive You could try re-seating the sleeve or the card/drive /dev/vc/0 here we don't set action to null so questionaire loop ends intimate Searching for intimate distribution over ethernet... Booting intimate from nfs... here we deleted killall -9 pump Executing /sbin/init... by now we have pivot rooted. I added q to exec /sbin/init The script exits, my wireless ssh session is still up, and / is now the NFS volume, and the old root is in /boot where the script puts it. The iPAQ display shows the correct background, except where text output displaced it. /proc is empty. /boot/proc is not empty and seems to be active (i.e. cat /boot/proc/version displays output). The output of 'df' shows an additional entry for /mnt/ramfs. I also try 'umount /proc' before executing script, but if fails with device busy. So I think I'm getting closer but don't know what to try next for a proper transition to Intimate after booting Familiar. I've also tried setting linuxrc to /linuxrc.intimate and booting, without success. Your educated assistance is guaranteed to result in my appreciation.
