Debian on the Neo1973
Jan Lübbe — Sun, 2007-08-26 16:47
Thanks to a patch by Roman Moravcik i was able to close OpenMoko bug 677 today. This problem made the SD slot unusable for anything except some simple tests. To verify that everything is working now, i installed the new Debian ARM EABI port. So now i can use Aptitude to install almost all Debian packages.
I'll publish a tarball of my chroot soon for anyone who wants to try Debian on the Neo. If you have problems with the speed of your SD card, check if the filesystem is mounted 'sync'.
Update: The tarball is now available.

Data intended for processing (eg, digitized music), are not generally understood as software. This definition is also regarded as a software system or software product that can contain additional ingredients as accessories such as software documentation in digital or printed form of a manual.
The general definition describes software as a counterpart to the hardware, and software here includes any type of digital data that can be stored on a hardware, firmware, the (possible) BIOS, operating system, the I / O data to all (possible) files of a software-controlled device. This definition also belong to the software such as music data to a CD. The disk and the CD itself (the hardware) is, on which the Software is recorded, which is for a software-controlled device, the CD player. Kostenlose Software-Downloads, 3D Desktop Zombies!

josch (not verified) — Tue, 2007-08-28 08:58can you point me to a howto for booting your tarball from the sd-card?
not yet possible
Jan Lübbe — Tue, 2007-08-28 13:59I haven't been able to boot it directly from uboot, so for now i just do 'chroot /media/card'.
booted
TuukkaH (not verified) — Sat, 2007-09-08 17:00Not knowing much what I was doing, I took the trivial steps of extracting the tarball (did this on a computer, tar on the phone failed) to an ext3-formatted microSD card and copying a kernel image to /boot/uImage and modules to /lib/modules/ there. This was enough to get the bootloader menu item "Boot from SD" to work. If that doesn't work, for more see http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Booting_from_SD
I also copied /etc/fstab and /etc/network/interfaces from the phone and changed the root device to /dev/mmcblk0p1 and type from jffs2 to ext3. First boot resulted in an fsck and a reboot, but after that I got a login prompt! Back to chroot and install openssh-server and change root passwd and I can even run commands via ssh. Can't login via ssh though, all I get after giving the password is "stdin: is not a tty".
solved

confirmed
JoSch (not verified) — Sun, 2007-12-09 23:05I tried this approach and it worked exactly like that - this is inclusive the stdin error :-( Is there any solution to this problem?
Worked fine on my Zaurus SL-C1000

try installing your modules there and booting off that if you want. it may work. IF that doesnt work heres a entire directory filled with all sorts of debian root file systems. Havent seen any sid/lenny rootfs's but the etch stable rootfs is just that, Very Stable.

Does that neo support 16GB SDHC cards yet? My zaurus does. The latest 2.6.22 kernels and above always support SDHC cards in any SD card slot... Nice very nice feartures of a new 2.6 kernel. Makes your SD card slot seem alot more like a Hard drive slot with all that storage lol
