CIFS Not Supported Error on SheevaPlug

Postby blender » Wed Aug 29, 2012 4:20 pm

Hello! I'm a new Arch Linux ARM user, having just recently installed it on my SheevaPlug. I'm much more familiar with Debian-based distros, which is what my SheevaPlug ran before.

I'm trying to mount a network share which is shared via an AirPort Extreme. When testing out Arch Linux in a virtual machine on my laptop, I was able to simply install cifs-utils and mount the share via an fstab entry. I had done the same thing (with an equivalent package) in Debian, and it had worked fine. However, now when I try to do the same thing in Arch Linux ARM, I repeatedly get the following error:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'mount error: cifs filesystem not supported by the system
mount error(19): No such device
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)')

I installed Arch Linux ARM using the packages provided on the Arch Linux ARM SheevaPlug install page. The only thing I did differently is that I used ESIA instead of the SheevaPlug installer. I've tried several installs of Arch Linux ARM as well as various different packages, but nothing seems to work. If anyone has any suggestions they would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

It just returns to the prompt without output, and then when I try to mount again I still get the same error.

Ok, verify the installed kernel vs the boot uImage :)

To be honest, I don't know the best way to go about doing that. uname -r gives me that the kernel version is 2.6.39.2

That's your problem then.

That gives me

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '3.1.10-13-ARCH extramodules-3.1-ARCH')

Shouldn't the kernel number returned by uname be closer to the 3.1 range? How do I proceed from here?

I wanted to say that I really appreciate all your help thus far. I used uImage and modules files from http://www.xilka.com/sheeva/ today as part of a fresh install of Arch Linux Arm. Now my kernel version is 3.1.10. Unfortunately, it didn't help and I still get the CIFS error. :(

Uhm, you just needed to copy the uimage from /boot to the first partition of the SD card.

Well I've actually been installing to the NAND. But either way, updating the kernel hasn't fixed the error, and I'm out of ideas at this point.
