Arch on zt-180 v2

[ubis]

Hello,
i'm trying to boot arch on zt-180 v2, which have 1GHz ARMv6 CPU. Firstly, compiled linux 3.4 arm kernel from kernel.org. Used ArchLinuxARM-oxnas-latest.tar.gz package. Extracted at /dev/mmcblk1p1 (it's NAND).

After extract, used busybox mdev -s command to create files in /dev such as mmcblk0, mmcblk1, tty1... and so on.
Rebooted tablet, some warnings appeared and arch booted fine.

Logged in as root, typed reboot command, tablet rebooted and, can't boot anymore arch... Booting stuck on
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'Waiting for UDev uevents to be processed [BUSY]')

And the thing is, after reboot logs doesn't change, they were same as first successfull boot. I don't know where the problem is

My logs, from successfull boot:

Do you have devtmpfs enabled on the kernel?

[ubis]

No. Recompiled and flashed kernel with devtmpfs option. First boot was successfull, and after reboot - no. Freezes at Loading User-specified Modules [BUSY].

BTW in /etc/rc.conf file, my MODULES is empty.

[WarheadsSE]

Get it to boot once, then depmod -a to confirm all the modules are setup right.

[ubis]

Needed manually create empty files with nano modules.builtin and modules.order in /usr/lib/modules/3.4.0, because depmod -a said, that these files dont exist. After manual file creation, depmod -a returned nothing and files in /usr/lib/modules/3.4.0 were empty. Rebooted and, everything is same... Can't boot anymore. Booting stuck on Loading User-specified Modules as i said before.

Is there any change to debug and fix this problem?


EDIT:
Strange... Tried to use package ArchLinuxARM-mmp-latest.tar.gz for ARMv5 and now succesfully boots arch, even after reboot.
Hmm, can i use it, all functions will work with ARMv5 distro on ARMv6 cpu?

Hello!

Please excuse me for jumping into this thread with a not entirely related post.

I've been looking for hints/docs/cookbook/... how to install ArchLinux ARM on my Zenithink "ZTpad C91 upgrade" for several months without notable success.
While searching through ArchLinux ARM forums (and other forums dedicated to tablets) I've noticed you are working on installing ArchLinux on your Zenithink ZT 180 v2 tablet.

Reading your posts lead me to the conclusion you're lightyears in front of me with this, and I believe there must be at least some common points as we have tablets from the same manufacturer.
So I've been wondering if you would be willing to share your experineces and/or sources of information on how to do this and on your progress with your tablet?

Any response will be highly apreciated!
