Stuck at freeing init memory while booting

Srinivas C

if are encountering this error you should try this

after mounting your root filesystem

sudo chmod -R 777 /media/ROOTFS/dev/*

 

it worked for me

    Hi there!

    I'm trying to set up a custom FS. But i also get stuck at:

    "Freeing init memory: 140 K"

    I decided to go slower. The FS provided by the SDK is properly working so i decided to uncompress it with the command:

    tar -xzf omapl138-lcdk-fs.tar.gz

    Then I compress everything without any modification with the command:

    tar czf omapl138-lcdk-fs-test.tar.gz

    And surprisingly doesn't work any more. It gets stuck again at the message "Freeing init memory: 140 K".

    Am I missing something? I already tried your solution and it didn't work for me. Any suggestions?

    Victor,

    There might a directory created in between the compress and uncompress operations. If this doesn't work, please share more logs and steps followed.

    Renjith,

    Thanks for your reply.

    Just to make it clear, i'm trying to build a custom FS locally that hopefully i'll be able to load through NFS. So I decided to start with the one provided by the SDK.
    I re-did the process in the following way:

    • logged in as root
    • created a folder omap-fs 
    • uncompressed the provided FS with: tar xzf omapl138-lcdk-fs.tar.gz -C omap-fs/

      I get errors during the process such as:

      tar: ./var/volatile/run/lmbench: Cannot change ownership to uid 0, gid 0: Operation not permitted
      tar: ./var/volatile/run/sepermit: Cannot change ownership to uid 0, gid 0: Operation not permitted
      tar: ./var/volatile/run/ConsoleKit: Cannot change ownership to uid 0, gid 0: Operation not permitted

      tar: ./usr/share/terminfo/x: Cannot change ownership to uid 0, gid 0: Operation not permitted

      I'm not sure of the importance of this. 

    • compress everything again with: tar -czf custom-fs.tar.gz *
    • using diff both binaries differ.
    This custom-fs.tar.gz is not working so definitely, the errors should mean something. Is this somehow related to creating a volume with dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/sample bs=1M count=100?
    Maybe somebody could clarify this?
    Thanks in advance.

    Victor,

    Try sudo tar xzf omapl138-lcdk-fs.tar.gz -C omap-fs/

    Victor,

    Can you try using the tar options --no-same-owner or --no-same-permissions?
