Another Newbie question.... Well, got the thing to boot linux eventually (after much cursing, and waiting the absolute age it takes to do nand erasechip) Now I'm puzzled as to what the root password of the "shipped" images should be. Perhaps I've missed this in a faq somewhere, but if anyone knows it off hand it would be helpful. Also, I had some concerns about the boot messages.... Is the following normal (Snip from boot messages) _____________________________________________________________ nand0_boot_size is 0 Initialising Balloon NAND MTD devices. NAND device: Manufacture ID: 0xec, Chip ID: 0x76 (Samsung K9D1208V0M) Creating 2 MTD partitions on "Samsung K9D1208V0M": 0x00000000-0x00100000 : "nand boot" mtd: Giving out device 1 to nand boot 0x00100000-0x02000000 : "nand root" mtd: Giving out device 2 to nand root Initialising of First Balloon NAND MTD was successful. No NAND device found!!! Unable to find second Balloon NAND device. _____________________________________________________________ (Not finding a second Nand device - is this because there is no Smartmedia card - or socket even - installed?) and _____________________________________________________________ Setting up RAMFS, please wait... nand_write_oob: Failed write, page 0x0000400d nand_write_oob: Failed write, page 0x0000400e depmod: /lib/modules/2.4.19-rmk4-tcl2-b1-james/modules.ieee1394map is not an ELedepmod: error reading ELF header /lib/modules/2.4.19-rmk4- tcl2-b1-james/modulesynand_write_oob: Failed write, page 0x00004057 nand_write_oob: Failed write, page 0x000040ae nand_write_oob: Failed write, page 0x000040af depmod: /lib/modules/2.4.19-rmk4-tcl2-b1-james/modules.ieee1394map is not an ELedepmod: error reading ELF header /lib/modules/2.4.19-rmk4- tcl2-b1-james/modulesynand_write_oob: Failed write, page 0x0000404f _____________________________________________________________ (which concerned me more, with the "Failed write"... bits) Thanks Peter Clifton
