[ts-7000] linuxrc problems

["Hamish Avery" <>]

Hi all,

This is probably a no-brainer but I'm utterly stumped!  I have no
experience using linuxrc at all.  I want to boot a kernel from the SD
card so I can supply clients with updated software by simply sending
them an SD card.  I figured I would modify the linuxrc file of the SD
card boot initrd image to run the 'bootload' command on a kernel from
the SD card.  The problem is that no matter what I try, I keep getting
a 'not found' error when linuxrc attempts to run bootload.

I have go the most permissive and executable rights (777), tried
running it from /bin and from / and calling it as a command (i.e. no
path) and directly (with a path)...  The linuxrc script looks like:

  #!/bin/sh
  cd /
  mount -t proc proc /proc
  insmod -f /sdcard.o -o sdcard0 dmaenable=1
  insmod -f /bootloader.o
  mount /dev/sdcard0/disc0/part2 /mnt
  /bin/bootload -c "console=ttyAM0,115200 root=/dev/ram0" -r \
    /mnt/boot/ramdisk2 /mnt/boot/zImage

I have also tried to replace the arguments to bootload with '--help'
which again returned 'not found'.  Adding 'exec' or '/bin/sh' or 'exec
/bin/sh' in front did not help either!  Any call with /bin/sh
preceeding it returns:

  Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")")

I have also tried adding other commands to the initrd image and they
too return 'not found'.  I can see them when I list the folders, and
autocomplete functions on them, so they are definitely there with the
correct permissions!

I am really puzzled!!  Can anyone please help?

Regards,

Hamish
