Using the Sheeva Installer to get Fedora 11 onto the internal NAND or a SD Card
http://www.plugcomputer.org/plugwiki/index.php/SheevaPlug_Installer
modify the rootfs from http://ftp.linux.org.uk/pub/linux/arm/fedora/rootfs/rootfs-f11.tar.bz2
untar in a temp folder and make a new root fs from rootfs_f11 excluding the rootfs_f11 folder name
put the new rootfs.tar.gz and the latest kernels from http://sheeva.with-linux.com/sheeva into the installer folder and copy it over to the USB key
(TODO provide a link to my copy / or make a script to do it automatically)
script to build installer folder contents
#!/bin/bash KVER="2.6.31" function Md5Compare () { if [[ $(cat $2 | cut -d' ' -f1) \ != $(md5sum $1 | cut -d' ' -f1) ]]; then echo "Bad md5 detected on $1" exit 1 fi } mkdir sheeva cd sheeva mkdir installer mkdir kernels mkdir work cd kernels wget -Nd -q http://sheeva.with-linux.com/sheeva/$KVER/sheeva-$KVER-uImage wget -Nd -q http://sheeva.with-linux.com/sheeva/$KVER/sheeva-$KVER-uImage.md5 wget -Nd -q http://sheeva.with-linux.com/sheeva/$KVER/sheeva-$KVER-Modules.tar.gz wget -Nd -q http://sheeva.with-linux.com/sheeva/$KVER/sheeva-$KVER-Modules.tar.gz.md5 Md5Compare sheeva-$KVER-Modules.tar.gz sheeva-$KVER-Modules.tar.gz.md5 Md5Compare sheeva-$KVER-uImage sheeva-$KVER-uImage.md5 cp sheeva-$KVER-uImage ../installer/uImage cp sheeva-$KVER-Modules.tar.gz ../installer/modules.tar.gz cd ../work wget -Nd http://ftp.linux.org.uk/pub/linux/arm/fedora/rootfs/rootfs-f11.tar.bz2 rm -fr rootfs-f11/ tar --preserve-permissions -xjf rootfs-f11.tar.bz2 cd rootfs-f11/ sed -i -e 's/root/mtdblock1/; s/nfs/ubifs/' etc/fstab #sed -i -e 's/root/mmcblk0p1/; s/nfs/ext3/; s/1 1/0 0/' etc/fstab rm -fr tmp/* var/cache/yum/* var/tmp/* tar --preserve-permissions --preserve-order -czf ../../installer/rootfs.tar.gz ./ cd .. rm -fr rootfs-f11/ cd ../installer ls -l
now follow the steps in the sheevaplug installer docs
1. change the mac address
2. plugin the usb key in fat format with the contents of installer folder
3. run php ./runme.php on the host and follow the steps (did not work in 64bit fedora needs 32bit)
when installed to nand the fstab is wrong change nfs to ubifs and /dev/root to /dev/mtdblock1 (need to do with sed since vi is not installed)
(TODO make the change in the script it self)
yum update yum upgrade yum install @core
will also need mtd-utils and mtd-utils-ubifs for upgrading kernels in future
add users set passwords etc
