Hi,

i am getting the below error, for testing purpose I download ready to use image from freescale web site and wrote into sd card memory ext2 partition which I created. I downloaded the Ubuntu Oneiric from freescale website.

Waiting for root device /dev/mmcblk1p1...

I checked the rootfs. It has /sbin/init, /etc/init files. I also tried pointing the init folder by setting environment, stil no difference.

How do i proceed. Any help would be appreciated.

[LeonardoSandova]

Reformat your partition as EXT3 and place the rootfs again.

[vishvapathi]

I tried it already.. still the problem exists..... any other alternate for this!!! 

[LeonardoSandova]

Make sure the kernel supports either ext2, ext3 or ext4. (on the kernel menu, go to file sytems submenu). I would also try with another SD card with at least 4GB.

[vishvapathi]

Hi Leo,

After adding "rootfstype=ext3" to env i am able to login. Though i am getting below message before login.

"No space left on device" but its a 8gb SD card.

For some reason, the /mnt/rwfs is not mounted. Try manually this

mount -t tmpfs rwfs /mnt/rwfs/

Also, there must be something not setting right on this file

/etc/rc.d/init.d/filesystems

[vishvapathi]

cat /etc/rc.d/init.d/filesystems

#!/bin/sh 

if [ "$1" = "stop" ]

then 

  echo Unmounting filesystems 

  umount -a -r 

  mount -o remount -r %root% / 

  [ -x /sbin/swapoff ] && swapoff -a

fi 

if [ "$1" = "start" ]

then 

  echo Mounting filesystems 

  if [ "$TMPFS" = "tmpfs" ]

  then 

  mount -n -t $TMPFS shm /dev/shm 

  fi 

  if [ -n "$TMPFS" ] 

  then 

  mount -n -t $TMPFS rwfs /mnt/rwfs -o size=$TMPFS_SIZE

  fi 

  if [ "$READONLY_FS" != "y" ]

  then 

  mount -n -o remount -w %root% / 

  NFSBOOT="`cat /proc/cmdline | grep -q /dev/nfs ; echo $?`"

  if [ "$NFSBOOT" == "0" -a -n "$RAMDIRS" ] 

  then 

  echo "Booted NFS, not relocating: $RAMDIRS"

  RAMDIRS="" 

  fi 

  else 

  # initramfs, ramdisks, others? come up read/write by default

  mount -n -o remount -r %root% / 

  RAMDIRS="$RAMDIRS /tmp /etc /var"

  fi 

  if [ -n "$RAMDIRS" ] 

  then 

  for i in $RAMDIRS 

  do 

  if [ ! -e /mnt/rwfs/$i ] 

  then 

  cp -a $i /mnt/rwfs/ 

  mount -n -o bind /mnt/rwfs/$i $i

  fi 

  done 

  fi 

  if [ -e /etc/mtab ] 

  then

  ln -s /proc/mounts /etc/mtab 

  if [ ! -d /dev/pts ] 

  then 

  mkdir /dev/pts 

  fi 

  mount -a 

fi 

i tried to mount manually but still i get no space during booting...

Hi Kaman

I have the same problem like "mb-applet-menu-launcher: failed to open //.applications   ",

Have you solved it?

Please tell me if you got it ,THX very much!!
