Surprisingly my swap partition does not have a UUID root@debian:/# blkid /dev/sda1: UUID="ffa9d7e3-a047-46e8-a014-098ceb7848dd" TYPE="ext2" /dev/sda2: TYPE="swap" root@debian:/# Solution: swapoff -a mkswap /dev/sda2 This will get you an UUID for swap. Thanks for the help, now everything is fine :)by metacircle - uBoot
Any short instructions how to do that? I am not that familiar with Linux... Thanks =)by metacircle - uBoot
Anyone else notice, that when booting with this method (my 1st usb device is my samba share hdd, second usb device is Debian usb stick), the booting from the non-1st usb device works as described, but it does not mount the swap partition. I guess this happens because it is nor /dev/sda2 anymore but /dev/sdb2. Any workaround?by metacircle - uBoot
I followed the instuctions cd /tmp wget http://jeff.doozan.com/debian/linux-image-2.6.32-dockstar_1.1_armel.deb cd /boot # Create the images for uBoot /usr/bin/mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0x00008000 -e 0x00008000 -n Linux-2.6.32-5 -d /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-dockstar /boot/uImage /usr/bin/mkimage -A arm -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip -a 0x00000000 -e 0x00000000 -n initramby metacircle - Debian
Thank you it worked perfectly! :) Is this normal behaviour of the installer script not to activate the swap space?by metacircle - Debian
Hello, I created a ext2 partition as sda1 and a swap partition as sda2 just as written in the tutorial. Debian installation worked flawlessly. If I type "free -m" I get the following: root@debian:/# free -m total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 122 29 93 0 0 19 -/+ buffers/cache:by metacircle - Debian
