I have uploaded an 8MB BL3.32-based linux image file to be chrooted to

and /issue which work for dialing and with zgv. Report any problems.

What am I supposed to do with the issue? Should I put it in /etc to
replace the old one?

No, it is just a copy of what is in /etc, explaining how this linux was put together, for people who want to read it without doing a large .gz download first.


The full (SW71 or maybe it is 81) mount often has problems umounting the
memory card. Sometimes it fails, sometimes it works but says Couldn't
umount /mnt. Inappropriate ioctl for device.

It might work better if you link /proc/mounts to /etc/mtab. Or is it
already set up that way? Can't tell, I'm not using your root image
at the moment. ln -sf /proc/mounts /etc/mtab

Nor am I, I am in DOS. It is set up the way BL3.32 was set up.

I cannot kill loop. Once I have done a mount -o loop five times I cannot
mount anything else loop.

You ran out of loop devices. Did you umount the -o loop mounts?
umount is supposed to free the loop device for the next use, but
it won't if it is sufficiently confused by the chroot.

I tried to umount things. I don't think I was in the chrooted terminal at the time. But at one point I had 5 loop modules when I typed ps and could not insmod anything else loop. I am pretty sure that I umounted at least once without chrooting and the loop remained.


The loop module ordinarily supports 8 loop devices - mknod
loop6 and loop7 (from implied major and minor numbers of the
previous 5 or 6) if you don't have them. loop.o accepts the
max_loop argument to increase the number of total loop
devices when you insert it.

kill -9 number does not work.

The loops are still in use. Try busybox umount or figure out how
to get SW umount to realize that it is supposed to free the loop
devices when it is done with them. rmmod loop when they are
free to kill loop.

I tried three different busybox umounts.
Maybe mount is getting confused by scsi. Do you have usb-uhci.o that I can try in case it works better?
