Communications can be established only between OpenBlockS266s as IPv6 nodes. It is because of updating the kernel version from 2.6.16.59 to 2.6.16.60 or 2.6.16.62. This is a bug of the kernels.

The size of the firmware,

zImage.initrd.treeboot-product

is larger than 8192000 bytes. It cannot be used with OBS266 and OBS266/128.

Please use the firmware,

zImage.initrd.treeboot

or earlier one.

A compilation of glibc fails on OpenBlockS266 since a files, elf/trusted-dirs.h, of glibc is not created normaly with update version of gawk from 3.1.5 to 3.1.6. Please apply a patch as follows.

# cd /usr/src/dist/glibc
# patch -p1 </tmp/glibc-2.x-gen-trusted-dirs.patch

When installed on CF/HDD, files which exist may not be found during compiling in the source tree. It happens when the ext3 file system is created by mke2fs of e2fsprogs-1.40.2 in the installer. A workaround is to reinstall by 0.4-20070928 or later whose the version of e2fsprogs is 1.39.

The installer does not work well. A workaround to install 0.4-current is as follows.

o From CD-ROM

Boot from the CD-ROM of 0.3-STABLE. When you see the login prompt, eject the CD-ROM of 0.3-STABLE and insert a CD-ROM of 0.4-current. Login as root, execute fdisk(8) for partitioning and do sysinst(8).

o From FD

Boot from FD of 0.3-STABLE. Login as root, execute fdisk(8) for partitioning and do sysinst(8).

GRUB installation failure from sysinst(8) or with /usr/mdec/installboot in the installation FD or CD-ROM.
Install 0.2-current with sysinst(8). Then follow one of the below procedures.

o Install GRUB natively as follows.

# e2fsck /dev/hda1
# mount -t ext2 /dev/hda1 /mnt
# grub
grub> root (hd0,0)
grub> setup (hd0)
grub> quit
# umount /mnt

o Shutdown, boot from 0.1-STABLE FD or CD-ROM, and install GRUB manually as follows.

# e2fsck /dev/hda1
# mount -t ext2 /dev/hda1 /mnt
# ln -s /mnt/boot /boot
# /usr/mdec/installboot --root-directory=/mnt /dev/hda

/ and /usr must be in the same partition.
Some commands in /bin and /sbin load shared libraries in /usr/lib.

MAKEDEV segmentaion fault in sysinst(8).
Because of segmentaion fault of chmod(1) and chown(1). Please follow the below procedure after booting with 0.1-STABLE FD.

# e2fsck /dev/hda1
# mount -t ext2 /dev/hda1 /mnt
# cd /mnt/dev
# ./MAKEDEV generic
# cd /
# umount

Installation failure by way of PC LAN Card.
depmod(8) does not work. Please follow the below procedure after booting with FD.

# cd /lib/modules/2.4.20/pcmcia
# insmod pcmcia_core.o.gz
# insmod i82365.o.gz [poll_interval=100]
# insmod ds.o.gz
# cardmgr

Insert your PC LAN Card (3c574_cs, 3c589_cs, fmvj18x_cs, and pcnet_cs are available. See SUPPORTED.CARDS of pcmcia-cs). You see the following message.

cardmgr[35] : module /lib/modules/2.4.20/pcmcia/<driver name>.o not available

where <driver name> is one of 3c574_cs, 3c589_cs, fmvj18x_cs, and pcnet_cs. Eject your PC LAN Card then execute the following command.

# gzip -d <driver name>.o.gz

Insert your PC LAN Card, check interface and eth0 available with

# ifconfig -a

Modules loaded are listed with

# cat /proc/modules
