how to make bootable root-cramfs?

Beitrag von aj »

Sirs,

please help me.

I wish to make own bootable flash-image.

The CDK tree was obtained from cdk.tuxbox and fully compiled

But this image does not want to boot.

the error message is "file /platform/os/..." not found.

How to make the image bootable (something like lilo ???)

well, seems you are missing something very important:

the u-boot (formerly known as ppcboot)

this file ist (linked) as os into the flfs

what u need ist make flash-.......-image

this build process will ask u for a *-flfs image (depending on what u chose to compile)

ah and btw.: cramfs is deprecated, squashfs is used instead,
take a closer look at http://www.yadi.org or http://sourceforge.net/projects/dboxjffs2/
