How exactly is mount broken? Would you care to elaborate rather than inarticulately whinge?
don't worry, I am not here to ask help, I am here to have a beer
or a tea, if you prefer to be British
crossdev claimed it can't complete its job because it doesn't like the overlay (due to bugs)
uuuuu, really? I wiped it out, and I switched to Angstrom by OE which completed the job
Oh,
Angstrom installed on gentoo to crosscompile gentoo tools, it makes sense
and
mount has a strange behavior now, before updating (emerge --sync, and update) it worked as expected
once updated … well, in first place "mount -o remount,rw /" stopped to work
claiming a lot of strange (not able to be understood, not intelligible) errors
which practically were solved by invoking it as "mount -o remount,rw /dev/sdb1 /"
ironically it claimed that "/dev/mtab was impossible to read/write"
are you fooling me? really? enjoy my 2 seconds workaround
thus I replaced the whole /etc/init.d with customized scripts
which are under control, and do their job
I have really no time to investigate, I am tired and late
all the software steps are completed, tested, and working, I am burning a couple of DVDs as "Virtual Box image"
inside my customer will find a working builder, which is able to build his old linux kernel and the whole powerpc rootfs
that is the only way I can afford the linux stress: "
don't care, go on"
