(but then again, so do many things in life). I was exporting with NFS the project_build_powerpc/genepy/root directory to mount as root. And that failed. But then if do: mount -o loop binaries/genepy/rootfs.powerpc.ext2 /media/loop/ And export /media/loop instead, I can boot fine !!! Doing a diff between the two dirs reveals that for instance the devices are normal files in the project directory... > Well, you'll need to unpack the tarball as root in order to create the > device nodes and get the permissions right on stuff like /etc/passwd - > If you do that, you shouldn't need to do any additional chown. I saw your reply right after solving it and that confirms it... Thanks to all who contributed. -- Guillaume Dargaud http://www.gdargaud.net/
