Okay, WLAN works now after starting it once in Nickel.
Which /etc/init.d/rcS are we talking about? NIckel or Debian? The Debian one is nearly empty: Quote:

Yes, found it, sorry for that, not sure why I did not see it first.
but... Now nothing works anymore. After inseting these lines this SD card does not boot anymore, I just get a short blue light, a black screen for a second, then again a white screen and just the green blinking lights. I have the card now in my computer and try to undo or at least to read the file once more to see what is in now, but so far no success, I don't know how to access this partion. I could just play the changed Debian file back, or do you know any way to access the card and undo anything there from my windows machine? |

If you plan on playing around with linux filesystems it might be time to set up a linux virtual machine. That's the easiest way to gain access to you SD-card.
I have several VirtualBox machines flying around on my Win7 machine. |

Is the following one Mini related? Is there a solution, since this is actually a no-go for me (and unfortunately, it happens exactly like this on my Mini too)...
Oh, and can I update the Kobo firmware to 2.8.1 or will it damage the whole thing because of the changed mmcblk0p2/3 thing? |

It won't work, unless you change every reference to mmcblk0p3 to p2... |

After connecting the serial console I saw a lot of I2C errors and also that the mouse driver didn't load. This was kind of expected because the N905B has a netronix SoC and not the freescale one of the later models. It would be nice if you could tell me what you modified in the kernel and the filesystem except the obvious debian root folder, so I can compile a kernel for my KT and modify the startup scripts accordingly.

I don't know if original kernel have kexec support, but if yes could be an important option, more useful if used with an image for external sd slot (for kobo reader with it). Nothing to open, no risk (internal sd will remain like original apart some scripts), more simple for newbie users (with pre-made scripts and images) Last edited by Fabry; 09-09-2013 at 02:49 PM. |

So now Oracle's java jvm can be also used on HardFP systems like Ubuntu or Kobo with firmware 2.6.1 or greater. |
