DSL Embedded :: Save MyDSL installation



MGDsl,
I have looked into Linux inside Linux and the dsl-linux.bat file. What I find is distressing. Not anything that I can have control over as the internals of DSL is fine.

However, what I did find is that sometimes the append options were honored and sometimes not. Just having the modules=hdb, I could see that cloop was loaded and installed. Then adding mydsl=hdb would be ignored. Removing the modules clause results in the extensions trying to load but errors occured because the cloop module wasn't loaded. Sometimes, on occasion both clauses would work.

The only error I get from the Linux version of Qemu is a suggestion to host on a Linux 2.6 kernel because of timing issues.

So bottom line, DSL, internals and DSL hosted on Windows shows no problems. DSL hosted on Linux is a mixed bag.

I would suggest that you compile a Linux Qemu executeable for your particular target Linux host or possibly obtain a Qemu executeable for your particular Linux distro, or try your append clause failures question on the Qemu support site or finally try the qemu with -cdrom option and forgo having easy access to boot time options that the Qemu -kernel option provides.



Thanks,

a bunch of good replies to work with!

I have problems with cloop on windows, too.

Code Sample

dsl@box:~$ mydsl-load /mnt/hdb/opera850.uci
/dev/cloop1: No such device or address


And then a message pops up on screen: "Please mount media containing optional dir and try again".

All this in standard dsl-embedded 2.0.
No problems instead with Qemu + iso2.0

There are no such problems if you use the latest version.
Reposting resolved issues is really boring and not helpful to anyone.
Again, I have to question your motives, you do read the embedded section???

Resolved in the latest release and was discussed on Feb 5 here

See Change Log for 2.2 number 12 which states:
12. Qemu version now supports boot time UCI loading



Robert, I missed that thread, I was abroad looking for work, I think I may be excused for that. Sorry, sorry, sorry, ok?

Now, about my motives, what the hell other motives should I have?
What? Some secret agency paying me to troll on your forum?
I respect you as you are the boss here and for all the good work you do but, for heaven's sake, get a grip!

Besides, I might be older than you, so, mind you language :-)
