Can you please let me know where to find minimum kernel image for my ColdFire platform to boot from ? Please be informed that at this stage I am not restricted to use an specific Linux distro and just I need to have the minimum kernel image possible size.

I'm trying to run extract-ikconfig because I've mistakenly deleted an old kernel config that I'd like to recover. However, when running the script from the latest (2.6.32.5) tree I run into this error:
Quote:
ERROR: Unable to extract kernel configuration information.
This kernel image may not have the config info.
Coincidentally, this happens with all of my kernel images. Is it a fixable problem? I should really set CONFIG_IKCONFIG_PROC next time..
the things i've tried:
1. Created an asm bootloader code that calls a c function which just prints a hello message.
2. Compiled both and linked them using LD command using a .ld file available.
Steps followed from http://wiki.osdev.org/Bare_bones.I get a kernel.bin file which is of ELF format. I've set up a tftp server using tftpd32 tool and created the necessary pxelinux.cfg files.
Now how do i create a bootable kernel image out of the elf file. The steps given in the above website to create an image doesn't help.
I know that it is possible to get the kernel version from a running system using "uname" command.I have a kernel image file in linux/arch/arm/boot/uImage.Is it possible to get similar information from this image file? and how?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am fairly new to ubuntu server, I want to setup a tftp server to mount a new kernel in a DaVinci platform. I was following the guide in this page [URL]..docs/linux_tftp, but accidentally I remove the xinetd.conf file. So I think that maybe removing and reinstalling xinetd the problem will be solved, but instead of that I can't completely remove xinetd and the follow message is print in the terminal
Removing xinetd ...
invoke-rc.d: unknown initscript, /etc/init.d/xinetd not found.
dpkg: error processing xinetd (--remove):
subprocess installed pre-removal script returned error exit status 100
invoke-rc.d: unknown initscript, /etc/init.d/xinetd not found.
dpkg: error while cleaning up:
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 100
Errors were encountered while processing:
xinetd
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
with that problem I can't start the service or stop it, I am blocked in the configuration of tftp server.

I'm trying to install a SDK iso image onto an embedded linux platform. I was able to mount the image on the platform without problems. I also created a symbolic link called "bash" in the bin directory and had that point to busybox to satisfy the first line of code in the installer: "#!/bin/bash". However, when I run the installer, I get an error: "installer: applet not found"
I get the same error when I type "bash" on the command line. Is there a way to fix this? Here is the first few lines of code that causes the error:
#!/bin/bash
DEBUG=${DEBUG:="0"} # Enables debugging options
LC_OPTION=${LC_OPTION:="prompt"} # Licensing related variable
INSTALL_PATH=${INSTALL_PATH:=$HOME} # Default installation path
declare -r SCRIPT_NAME="`basename $0`"

I decided today to try Xubuntu on my netbook.I downloaded an ISO of it, formatted my old 2GB Sandisk Cruzer Micro, and used Unetbootin to copy all the stuff onto the drive.Of course with flashing cursor after "boot:". So I tried rewriting with Unetbootin, and then even tried writing an ISO of Kubuntu to the flash drive.Each and every time, I get the same message.

View 1 Replies View RelatedIve been trying to PXE boot a XEN kernel image in gzip format, and I was getting Invalid or corrupt kernel format error. Ive seen that other kernel images having a file type of Linux kernel x86 boot executable RO-rootFS are bootable. (both are bootable using grub anyhow).
Is there any way to convert the b/n the formats, or any other solution?
I was booting a Virtualbox instance, again I guess that shouldn't matter because pxelinux loads from tftp properly, but it doesn't even proceed to load the kernel. I think the issue here is with the image format itself rather than what it contains, or where it runs.
In order to not post into the wrong forum, I am wondering if an issue related to performing a PXE based NFS install can be posted here, or does it belong in the networking forum? Seems that I've seen both, and I've done several searches using parameters/error messages that I'm seeing and can't seem to find a post that relates.
I have results of "./getinfo.sh network", and other necessary config file info ready to post, but want to make certain on correct forum.
I have now a second post on the work I am doing. I am trying to complete a model for translating English texts into German. My concept is a model using a text editor with only simple executable scripts being written to perform steps in the process. I need to use a language for doing simple things like tagging words and translating using a dictionary I am building. I am beginning to use AWK in conjunction with Bash and need to find some members with whom I can dialog on particular topics; even getting advice. Are there any AWK users in the community, using the language for processing text?

So I need to split my 4GByte file into smaller chunks. And the 'split' utility needs to be available on both Linux and the WinXP operating systems.
