Hi,
I just started to play around with buildroot. I managed to compile a kernel with the option "initial RAM linked into linux kernel" and "(tty1) Port to run a getty on" and I could load it with qemu and it worked. I could login and wander around in the ram filesystem.
As second step I wanted to create a bootable disk image with my custom kernel and filesystem. I disenabled the option "initial RAM linked into linux kernel", enabled that I get an ext2 filesystem image and marked the option "install kernel image to /boot in target".
I also configured the kernel and marked the option "second extended file system".
I build no packages, except for nano and grub as boot loader ...
then I
- created a disk image of 32 mb with dd
- made a primary partition on it with fdisk
- made an ext2 filesystem on it with mkfs
- copied the contend of my rootfs.ext2 into the filesystem
- installed Grub that uses the boot files that were genereted by buildroot
Then I booted my recently created kernel by the command "qemu -hda hdd.img". I could chose my kernel in the boot menu and then it started to load the kernel.
It allways freezes after the line
"swapper/0 (1) used greatest stack depth: 5740 bytes left"
Some other strange thing is the message
"Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83."
that appears right after the info that the system will boot now.
I just want a bootable disk image with linux kernel and a minimal filesystem on a primary partition.
Were is the error in my method?
What other method would you recommend to get such an bootable disk image?
Thaaaank you veeery much!!!
