problem extension loading ... came back !
« on: September 16, 2014, 10:03:25 AM »
Hi all,

The problem for loading extension come back. On the screen an have "Loading extension ... / " and the cursor " / " rotates continuously. Nothing happen after that.

A try to put "waitusb = 15" but the problem rest the same . I see the delay on boot but it not help to load extensions.

A put "showapps" on boot and I see
   
   Loading extensions...
   _

then cursor "_" NOT rotate and I can't see any extension loaded.

Any idea ? Thank

If the "waitusb"-counter did reach zero, increase the value.
Download a copy and keep it handy: Core book ;)

There are no sense to have a high waitusb value with Raspberry Pi, even 5 sec is high, it is just a safe value.

Unfortunately no piCore version provided nor RPi hw. Check SD card integrity and free space, start with an empty /tce or try another SD card.

If the extensions are not found why there is not any error for this. I have tied other SD card and I have no problem but what I want  to know is the cause, to avoid this kind of problem.
In this moment I have two SD card with this problem, can I make other test to see where the problem came ?
Thank you for your suggestions !

Not found where?

How big are your partitions? Is it possible to dd, compress and to make available for download somewhere for testing?

What I want to say is that when the kernel can't load the extensions for some reason, maybe is better to display an error on the screen and to continue to load the system.

The total size is :

tc@box:~$ free -m
             total         used         free       shared      buffers
Mem:           436          210          226            0           11
-/+ buffers:                  198          237
Swap:          104            0          104

I will create an image and I will putted for download.
Thank

Just for info.
I have made many test all this time and I have the problem for loading extension just on Transcend SD card (classe 6). All the other SD card (about 6 different type) that I have tested work correctly.
I thing that the problem came from SD card. After 2-3 reboot the extensions are not loaded. I check the tce directory and it is OK. So I have no explication for this problem but to avoid that it 's better to use a good SD card (clase 10).

Would be interesting to see how this card behaves with piCore 6.0 with 3.16.3 kernel.

I think I found the solution.
If I specify the tce directory in the boot option (for example tce=mmcblk0p2) the extension are correctly loaded. I have tested that in 2 SD card with this problem and now the sd card are working correctly.
In my opinion this Transcend SD class 6 don't give the correct UUID to kernel for find the partition on SD card to load the extensions.

Thank you for yours advices !
