...and I have no idea what nupgrade.sh is here. What is "the drive" and what is "the partition" here? Please provide an exact step-by-step explanation.
For future reference, please use a better topic ("Need Help" can really mean anything). Thanks. :-)
Sorry about my topic and my cryptic request for help I was exhausted and dead to the world when I typed that. I'm trying to install from a boot partition I was having problems with the partition but I flashed and it worked just fine but now I'm running into problems trying to clone to the partition so I can boot from that.
Every time I follow the following instructions :
Clone to the card
Many thanks to milhouse for writing and maintaining this script.
Now it's time to clone your install over to partition 2 of the internal card. The script works in stages to allow better control and error detection, and should take about 10 minutes to complete:
0 - Create ext2 filesystem on partition 2 of the Internal memory card
1 - Mount partition 2 as /opt
2 - Mount rootfs as /floppy
3 - Perform cloning process
4 - Commit filesystem updates and unmount /floppy and /opt
So, as root, run:
cd /home/user/bin
./nupgrade.sh 0
If the following error occurs: "Unable to locate mbcache.ko - aborting" follow the instructions per this link: [1]
./nupgrade.sh 1
If the following error occurs:
"Installing ext2.ko module and mounting Internal Flash card, second partition... insmod: can't open '/mnt/initfs/lib/modules/current/ext2.ko': No such file or directory mount: mounting /dev/mmcblk0p2 on /opt failed"
do the following (similar to the above remedy during error of "./nupgrade.sh 0")
cp /mnt/initfs/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/ext2.ko /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/
and repeat "./nupgrade.sh 1"
./nupgrade.sh 2
./nupgrade.sh 3
./nupgrade.sh 4
reboot
Your device will reboot when done, and you can select the partition you want to boot from from the bootmenu.
and I use the
./nupgrade.sh 0 it asks me whether I want to continue and I say yes then it immediately goes to TERMINATED and the root again.
