UBIT v0.6 boot from sda2

[vargalex]

Hi!

I have a GoFlex net device. I followed the install instructions, but I have a preformatted SATA drive. So, I installed the Arch Linux ARM linux onto the second partition (first partition is swap) reformatted as ext3 from pogoplug. After a reboot the device cannot booting up. How can I boot from the second partition?

Label the second partition as "rootfs" (tune2fs -L "rootfs" /dev/whatever). If that doesn't work, repartition, reformat, re-extract.

I thought partition 1 had to be fat for fatload and contain just /boot/uImage copied from rootfs
If you need a swap, search this forum for swapon

[kmihelich]

Yeah, you likely need to repartition. You can use ext3 with ubit.

If you refuse to repartition and format, you're likely stuck with booting from a flash drive then.

[pepedog]

You don't need to trash whole drive, just partition 1.

Look at your ubit log
** Unable to use ide 0:1 for fatload **
Because it doesn't load that then no kernel to get ext2 working
