It's been quiet on this list for a while, eh? Here's a question for Qube |
| 2 |
owners: |

I've been trying to get Gentoo running on my Qube 2, and while |
| 4 |
things seem to work fine with minor glitches so far, I can't get the |
| 5 |
CoLo chainloading to work. I've netbooted the box, CoLo loads fine from |
| 6 |
NFS, loads my kernel, I've done all the installation of the base system, |
| 7 |
and now I'm trying to get the Qube to boot on its own. What does work is |
| 8 |
to netboot again so the CoLo image gets pulled from NFS, and then have |
| 9 |
CoLo load and boot my kernel from disk by hand (it runs into problems |
| 10 |
trying to start udev but I think I can get this fixed later, with |
| 11 |
init=/bin/bash it's fine so far). It doesn't however want to load CoLo |
| 12 |
from the boot partition: |

It is an ext2r0 partition and vmlinux.gz is the zipped colo-chain.elf. |
| 51 |
I'm not sure about who writes what message in that console dump but it |
| 52 |
seems to me that CoLo isn't even being loaded. Otherwise I should get a |
| 53 |
menu on the console in case it couldn't find the kernel or something, |
| 54 |
right? |

cheers! |
