ArchLinux on Notion Ink Adam

Postby luis84 » Sat Jul 21, 2012 7:43 pm

Hello Everyone,

I am desperately trying to get Archlinux to boot on my Notion Ink Adam. It is a trega 2 based device. I have gotten other distros to boot such as debian sid (on right now), I have a working kernel (2.6.x.x) and also the majority of the drivers.

I assumed I could just copy the rootfs and then boot it but that did not work. Any suggestions on what else I might due to get it to boot?

Thank you

You should be able to use the trimslice rootfs, and copy in your kernel & modules tree (which is now at /usr/lib/modules), and it ought to work.

Hello,

Right that is what I planned too since the trimslice is the same processor.

I downloaded the trimslic rootfs and then I actually just copied the kernel folder and modules folder. Tried to boot it --

It just hangs. It's now showing me any output but it never boots.

Wonder what else it could be?

Wonder if I could use the trimslice kernel?

Well week dont auto-load video drivers etc by default so that might be a significant difference.

Strange.

Where is the actual kernel stored on normal distros like Debian?
