ps i have dgs image
in flash and it is stable and is good as a fallback up to experimenting with e2/neutrino images

Danke schön

ok, let´s try to create partitions.

download this tool: here

stick into your pc, start create mini

choose your stick, format


boot dgs and mount and install images to sda2, sda3 or sda4.

if you want to install later a new one, format the part with:

mkfs.ext2 -I 128 -b 4096 -L MINI2 /dev/sda2

maybe you have to change your bootargs:

fw_setenv menu_1 'setenv bootusb "run bootargsusb;usb reset;ext2load usb 0:2 a5ff0000 boot/uImage;bootm a5ff0000";setenv bootargsusb "setenv bootargs console=ttyAS1,115200 root=/dev/sda2 rw init=/bin/devinit ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gateway:$netmask:cuberevo:eth0:off mem=128m coprocessor_mem=4m@0x10000000,4m@0x10400000 rootdelay=6 nwhwconf=device:eth0,hwaddr:$ethaddr";setenv bootcmd "run bootusb";saveenv;front_puts SDA2-USB;boot'fw_setenv menu_2 'setenv bootusb "run bootargsusb;usb reset;ext2load usb 0:3 a5ff0000 boot/uImage;bootm a5ff0000";setenv bootargsusb "setenv bootargs console=ttyAS1,115200 root=/dev/sda3 rw init=/bin/devinit ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gateway:$netmask:cuberevo:eth0:off mem=128m coprocessor_mem=4m@0x10000000,4m@0x10400000 rootdelay=6 nwhwconf=device:eth0,hwaddr:$ethaddr";setenv bootcmd "run bootusb";saveenv;front_puts SDA3-USB;boot'
fw_setenv menu_3 'setenv bootusb "run bootargsusb;usb reset;ext2load usb 0:4 a5ff0000 boot/uImage;bootm a5ff0000";setenv bootargsusb "setenv bootargs console=ttyAS1,115200 root=/dev/sda4 rw init=/bin/devinit ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gateway:$netmask:cuberevo:eth0:off mem=128m coprocessor_mem=4m@0x10000000,4m@0x10400000 rootdelay=6 nwhwconf=device:eth0,hwaddr:$ethaddr";setenv bootcmd "run bootusb";saveenv;front_puts SDA4-USB;boot'
fw_setenv menu_4 'setenv bootusb "run bootargsusb;usb reset;ext2load usb 0:2 a5ff0000 boot/uImage;bootm a5ff0000";setenv bootargsusb "setenv bootargs console=ttyAS1,115200 root=/dev/sdb2 rw init=/bin/devinit ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gateway:$netmask:cuberevo:eth0:off mem=128m coprocessor_mem=4m@0x10000000,4m@0x10400000 rootdelay=6 nwhwconf=device:eth0,hwaddr:$ethaddr";setenv bootcmd "run bootusb";saveenv;front_puts SDB2-USB;boot'
fw_setenv menu_5 'setenv bootusb "run bootargsusb;usb reset;ext2load usb 0:3 a5ff0000 boot/uImage;bootm a5ff0000";setenv bootargsusb "setenv bootargs console=ttyAS1,115200 root=/dev/sdb3 rw init=/bin/devinit ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gateway:$netmask:cuberevo:eth0:off mem=128m coprocessor_mem=4m@0x10000000,4m@0x10400000 rootdelay=6 nwhwconf=device:eth0,hwaddr:$ethaddr";setenv bootcmd "run bootusb";saveenv;front_puts SDB3-USB;boot'
fw_setenv menu_6 'setenv bootusb "run bootargsusb;usb reset;ext2load usb 0:4 a5ff0000 boot/uImage;bootm a5ff0000";setenv bootargsusb "setenv bootargs console=ttyAS1,115200 root=/dev/sdb4 rw init=/bin/devinit ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gateway:$netmask:cuberevo:eth0:off mem=128m coprocessor_mem=4m@0x10000000,4m@0x10400000 rootdelay=6 nwhwconf=device:eth0,hwaddr:$ethaddr";setenv bootcmd "run bootusb";saveenv;front_puts SDB4-USB;boot'

then you have press 1 to get image from sda2
2-->sda3
3-->sda4

later if you test with sata drive, you have to press:
4-->sda2
5-->sda3
6-->sda4

hi
i cant get the partition tool to see the usb stick
i have tried re-booting my pc and used another stick but the dropdown list is always blank.
i can see and access both sticks in windows explorer tree

run as administrator

[hairibo]

there is no option to run as administrator wnen right clicking on the createmini.exe file.
i am logged in with an administrator account.

then you must create it with telnet:

fdisk /dev/sda

d for delete, enter


n for new
p for primary
1 first part
1 first cylinder
500 last cylinder

n
p
2
enter
1000

n
p
3
enter
1500

n
p
4
enter
enter

w to write table to disk and exit


then:

mkfs.ext2 -I 128 -b 4096 -L MINI2 /dev/sda2
mkfs.ext2 -I 128 -b 4096 -L MINI3 /dev/sda3
mkfs.ext2 -I 128 -b 4096 -L MINI4 /dev/sda4


mount and install image.

when you have start an hdmu image, then:


mkswap -L SWAPPART /dev/sda1

[hairibo]

ok thanks santa sorry for being so slow i have partititioned the stick as per your instruction ( i think) but am stuck at the mkfs stage.
i get the following with telnet

[SifTeam]$ mkfs.ext2 -I 128 -b 4096 -L MINI2 /dev/sda2

mke2fs 1.38 (30-Jun-2005)

mkfs.ext2: /dev/sda2 is mounted !

mkfs.ext2: it's not safe to run badblocks!

[SifTeam]$

[santa]

umount /dev/sda2

[hairibo]

tried that i get
[SifTeam]$ umount /dev/sda2

umount: can't umount /mnt/usb: Device or resource busy

[SifTeam]$
