Getting error.

Post by chrisb »

When Im follow the native guide, and after I have copyed the rootfs to the box, and mounted it, Ill start copying the content.

# cp -a /mnt/loopback/* /mnt/hda2

I get this error aften some time (on the Xbox screen)
_alloc_pages: 0-order allocation failed (gfp=0x92/0)

What is it? Is my HD dead?
What can I do?

I also noticed this issue. It ended up crashing my box every time I went to copy. The way I solved it is to go into the loopback file system and copy directory by directory. Start with the high level ones and maybe several at a time or you'll go crazy typing the copy command too much =)

If it crashes, remember which directories you were copying, reboot, delete them from the new partition and restart the copy. I found that I narrowed it down to a couple problematic directories at a lower level, but once I tried to copy them individually at a deep enough level they worked fine.

Dunno what caused it, but I ended up getting the whole file system on there ok so I didn't look into it.

Well, On a little 20GB disk I didt not had that error.
But this time I did the installarion on wire, means that all the maskine was hooked up with LAN cable. Normaly I didt it with the box and wire, and my Laptop on Wlan..

Maybe there is something there..

Getting the same problems when I try to do it with Home on my 2nd box (the other time was with Pro on my 1st box). When it freezes, I get this in ps:

Dunno what the "sleep 100" is... It's a pain in the ass, though. Have to copy a tiny bit till it freezes, reboot, copy a bit more, reboot, etc.

Just done a pro 4.2 install prior to updating the TUT on a 6.7 bios all was fine but I'm not happy with the 6.7 BIOS looks buggy to me (probably not a result of what your seeing) so I asked shallax if he could send me 6.6 so I could see if the problems where there but he told me to copile it myself, but I don't know how!

I assume you can just download the sources and compile the project on your box. There's a makefile in there so have a go at "make all" and see what happens =)
