Cool - thank you axcoco!

And thank you for the explanation of your changes to the pata driver. That was good information.

axcoco,

1) repository

Can you please tell us the details of your repository?

I would like to try it (pdata.ko and initrd) without installing the iso on some image I cooked.

Code: Select all

apt-get update; apt-get install
So I would need to know where the key/repository is.

2) mainstream kernel patch
Are the any plans to make a proper patch at least for the pata module which can go into the mainline kernel?

Regards,

Robert

That should go in /etc/apt/sources.list (as you probably know - but this is just for the sake of compleness).

In case you install the (vanilla, ubuntu 10.10) kernel on the 4 GB flash drive, how exactly do you find your 160G HD? the pata_sch module is loaded, but I cannot find the HD with fdisk, its not in /proc/partitions either. Am I missing something? Do I need other kernel modules?

I guess you will need a patched pata module in order to get the HDD detected. I had the same issue on 10.04 with flash drive install, HD was not found.

Or try to add a line in fstab and do a mount /dev/sdb1 /media/hdd but I'm not sure this will work

changing /etc/fstab is not gonna work since fdisk doesnt find the disk... The only solution will be a patched module indeed, anyone out there who can give a "how to" patch the module? This would be greatly appreciated!

Try with this pata_sch.ko module but I won't be able to explain you how to replace it : http://fitpc2i.dexnode.com/download/ubu ... d/sources/
but i'm not sure this will work as the pata module is also in vanilla and used at boot start.

Hi axcoco,
can you give a little howto on how you modified the iso image? Did you use the gui or the command line? UCKs docs are not very extensive and I have to reinstall my fitpc2i rev. 1.1 without having an usb keyboard nor a monitor available :-/ I already managed to find sufficient infos about the d-i commands to modify the iso for netbooting, but didn't get UCK to work :-(

Thanks in advance for your kind help :-)
