[U-Boot-Users] ELDK 2.2.0 (patched 2.1.0) doesn't install on Gentoo

[Ruhland, Paul]

By 'patched' I assume you mean using the patch found here:

  ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/tmp/ELDK-update-2.2.0.tar.bz2

If that is the case, you have not patched it correctly or forgot to patch it
before creating your iso/cdrom.  I have installed the 'patched' version on
several Gentoo boxes and it works fine.

The problem you describe was the behavior prior to patching.

Gentoo


Hello,

I'm trying to install the ELDK 2.2.0 (i.e. a patched 2.1.0) on a Gentoo 1.4
system. To do so I prepared a CD as described on www.denx.de. I already used
the CD on two SuSE 8.2 systems with no problems. On the Gentoo system the
installation starts just fine but suddenly stops without an error message.

# ./install -d /opt/eldk-2.2.0 ppc_82xx


Do you really want to install into /opt/eldk-2.2.0 directory[y/n]?: y

I attached a strace of what the installer is doing. Maybe somebody has an
idea what is going wrong and how to work around.

TIA
