Re: [opensuse-arm] Factory beagle image boots only once

12 Oct 2012

      Hi,
...
setenv ramdisk initrd
setenv kernel uImage
setenv initrd_high "0xffffffff"
setenv fdt_high "0xffffffff"
printenv kerneladdr || setenv kerneladdr ${kernel_addr_r}
printenv ramdiskaddr|| setenv ramdiskaddr ${ramdisk_addr_r}
setenv bootcmd "ext2load scsi 0:1 ${kerneladdr} uImage; ext2load scsi 0:1 ${ramdiskaddr} initrd; bootm ${kerneladdr} ${ramdiskaddr} ${fdt_addr}"
setenv bootargs root=0 loader=uboot disk=/dev/disk/by-id/ata-VM0500EBQHB_91NST05UT resume=openSUSE-12.2-ARM-JeOS-highbank   console=ttyAMA0;
boot
The question is just whether our uboot setup scripts are wrong or
whether kiwi calls them incorrectly :).
Have you changed / fixed anything in that area recently?
The setup and install of uboot on first boot is no longer kiwi's
task which you should know because we discussed it :) In kiwi's linuxrc
code there is now only:

#======================================
# setupBootLoaderUBoot
#--------------------------------------
function setupBootLoaderUBoot {
    # /.../
    # The setup of the uboot boot.script can't be done
    # in a generic way because each arm board behaves
    # differently. Thus we are only calling a hook
    # script here
    # ----
    runHook setupUBoot "$@"
}

#======================================
# installBootLoaderUBoot
#--------------------------------------
function installBootLoaderUBoot {
    # /.../
    # installation of uboot can't be done in a generic
    # way because each arm board behaves differently.
    # Thus we are only calling a hook script here
    # ----
    runHook installUBoot "$@"
}

The hook scripts setupUBoot.sh and installUBoot.sh must be
provided with the image description. In my kiwi provided
template from the kiwi-template package you will find:

  uboot-setup.tgz

and in the XML:

  <!-- custom hook scripts for uboot -->
        <archive name="uboot-setup.tgz" bootinclude="true"/>

So I suggest to check if all this is done in your image
descriptions as well. The boot log file /var/log/boot.kiwi
shows exactly what code was called

Thanks

PS:
I really like this... I'm no longer the culprit if the boot
fails on arm :-)))

Regards,
Marcus
