I'm using a Compulab iGLX board with an AMD Geode LX800 CPU running Gentoo. |
| 2 |
When I power-cycle the board without a clean shutdown (or sometimes even |
| 3 |
with one), the file system always gets corrupted in some way, and Linux |
| 4 |
struggles mightily to come back to life. |

|
| 6 |
The vendor suggests that I need to modify the Linux installation so that the |
| 7 |
root file system is mounted read-only - but they offer no clue how to do |
| 8 |
this (which makes me think they don't know how to do it themselves). |

I've searched for techniques, and found things are that are close, but so |
| 11 |
far, no cigar. |

1. Is there a standard way to go about this with Gentoo Linux? |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
2. Am I missing something blindingly obvious here as far as using |
| 16 |
Gentoo/Linux file systems in embedded systems where the CPU will almost |
| 17 |
never get any warning before a system reset? I know it's possible to do this |
| 18 |
successfully but I can't get over the goal line with this iGLX board. |

Thank you for any advice in advance - |
