[Peeweelinux] Error loading file system to target compact flash card

[Ashley Rolleston]

Hi,

My flash card hardware arrived today but I'm having a problem. I'm using
the bootx project kindly supplied to me by Ken Emmons, Jr. 

Results of the failure are as shown after trying to write to target
device as shown in pwlconfig. All goes ok until ...

then it carries on fine and creates the partitions on /dev/sda without
any other problem

the terminal output during creation is all ok until ...

I searched the archives and found the following mail describing what
appears to be the same problem

http://mail.adis.on.ca/pipermail/peeweelinux/2002-February/000478.html

QUOTE FROM REPLY TO ABOVE MAIL
" Check to make sure that you have selected "etc/" under Project File
System --> System
Base --> file system, and also "etc/inittab" under initscripts.  You may 
have selected another package (sysvinit, for example) that requires this 
file. "

I have checked this, under these options it just says 'estimated total 
from selected files 0' even when I choose 'select all files from 
package'. I also tried just using minimal project (to /dev/sda/) , but 
the same errors occur.

When I try and 'Extract File System for Project' it just gives me lots
of 'Not found in Archive' messages for all of the files.

Can anyone see what I am doing wrong here ? Is there any other
information I can provide to aid the problem diagnosis ? Any help would
be appreciated :)

Thanks
