Root file system errata
This page is used to list any known issues with the latest Root file systems provided by ADS. Issues listed here are scheduled to be fixed in an upcoming release
Old errata are listed below:
missing tslib file
This issue affects the Debian JFFS2 and Debian CRAMFS images. pthres.so, a file used by tslib, is missing from these images.
This issue is fixed in version 0.146 of the ADS Root builder, and in recent releases of the file systems.
syntax error in S01glibc.sh
This issue affects only the 2007-08-27 release of the eabi full Debian Root filesystem. This may cause difficulty when upgrading the system with apt. To fix the problem, run this command:
ln -sf /etc/init.d/glibc.sh /etc/rcS.d/S01glibc.sh
missing mount.nfs
If the full Debian root filesystem is upgraded to current Debian stable or testing with apt-get, the mount.nfs command will be missing. This prevents mounting of nfs filesystems. To fix this problem, log in as root and run this command:
apt-get install nfs-common
This issue is fixed in the 2008-04 release of the full root file system.
missing killall command
This issue affects the Debian JFFS2 and Debian CRAMFS images. This command is used when putting the board to sleep, to stop some processes that interfere with proper sleeping. For the JFFS2 image, a workaround is to log in as root and run this command:
ln -s /bin/busybox /usr/bin/killall
This issue is fixed in version 0.140 of the ADS Root builder and in the 2008-01-23 release of the JFFS2 and CRAMFS images.
gosleep command fails to detect USB disk drive
This issue affects only the Full Root filesystem, when used with a USB disk drive. Putting a system to sleep in this configuration is not supported and will not work properly, but the gosleep command fails to notice this and will allow the board to be put to sleep. This is fixed in the 2008-01-23 release of the full root filesystem.
missing tslib support
This issue affects the Debian JFFS2 and Debian CRAMFS images. These images are missing tslib support files used by some versions of the linux kernel. This issue should not affect boards used with our currently released kernels. This issue is fixed in version 0.141 of the ADS Root builder and in the 2008-01-23 release of the JFFS2 and CRAMFS images.
cardctrl not started
This issue affects the Full Root filesystem images when used with a recent 2.6 kernel and certian PCMCIA cards. The cardctrl daemon is not started, and while most PCMCIA cards will work without this daemon, it is needed for proper support of certian PCMCIA cards that do not include product and manufacturer ID information. This issue is fixed in version 3.2.8-1ads3 of the pcmcia-cs package and in the 2008-01-23 release of the Full Root filesystem.
some changes to CRAMFS /etc not preserved across reboots
This issue affects only the CFAMFS images. Certian commands including passwd make changes to files in /etc that are intended to be preserved across reboots, but fail to be preserved, since the symbolic link in /etc is replaced with a file. This bug is fixed by version 1.82 of the ads-additions package and in the 2008-01-23 release of the CRAMFS image.
