So here's the situation, I've got PPCBoot+Linux running on a custom board. I've formatted the flash to be one small raw partition for PPCBoot and the rest is a jffs2 filesystem. PPCBoot is reading Linux and an initial ramdisk out of the jffs2. In my original testing I was booting the board via tftp and nfs and then copying copying the filesystem onto the flash via /dev/mtdblock1. This works great. I reboot and PPCBoot sees everything in the jffs2. Now I'm trying to automate this a little more so enhanced my build to give me a jffs2 image "wombat.jffs2". I create this image with mkfs.jffs2 and put it onto the flash by dd'ing it to /dev/mtd1: dd if=/wombat.jffs2 of=/dev/mtd1 now when I mount /dev/mtdblock1 I can see the filesystem that I've put over there but when I reboot PPCBoot doesn't see any of the files that are there. But if I boot back up Linux can still see all of those files OK. Any ideas? Thanks, Andy -- Andrew Dixon Software Engineer Seranoa Networks 978.897.3434 x231
