Kaiser (Tilt), Android and Debian Issues

---

I posted this over on the Updated Getting Android and Linux on Kaiser but I think this needs a new thread.

I used http://www.saurik.com/id/10 with his debian.img, busybox, ext2.ko, etc. I'm running ATT Tilt with I believe currently the 1.1 build of Android from 02/17/09 since the screen rotates correctly, calls don't drop, makes me waffles, etc.

I am not new to Linux and will help get this to work as best as I can (not looking for you to do all the work, just need direction):

Here's my issues (besides wifi... another post perhaps)
No internet and "I hate this terminal emulator" = paraphrasing the output:
1.) I can't get bootdeb to run:
"mount: cannot setup loop device: no such file or directory"
I try manually typing it in and I get a "mount usage ... blah blah rtfm, etc"
2.) "chroot: cannot execute /bin/bash: No such file or directory"
you already know I have it there... I've specified it, not, whatever nothing goes. This is saurik's debian image and the file is there...
3.) I've been told to modprobe ext2 first. Well..
with ext2.ko from the post in my /sdcard directory:

"$ su && cd /sdcard"
"# insmod ext2.ko
  insmod: init_module 'ext2.ko' failed (No such file or directory)"
"# modprobe ext2.ko
  modprobe: cannot parse modules.dep"

whether or not I use busybox for this or not:

"# busybox insmod ext2.ko 
  insmod: cannot insert 'ext2.ko' : unknown symbol in module (-1): No such file or directory"
"# dmesg
  ext2: Unknown symbol __might_sleep"

That and the usual incoming call can hang until I reboot, no speakerphone action (my tape adapter in my car now hates me) and wifi. Without wifi, I can't even try telnetting in and getting the mounts to work. But if I can get Debian running, I'm hoping to maybe use ndiswrapper to give me internet.

My ultimate goal is to make a final package for devs and noobs alike to get a ready-made version so we can get the rest of the bugs taken care of.

OK im here. Im wanting debian as well. Ive tried what you have with no luck. So lets hope someone will have a way.

Oh and i hate to ask but do you have a data connection in WinMo before you boot into android? As thats the only way to get it to work.

I've tried that trick but no go. Wifi works fine in LoseMo (i hate you wm6...) and an active connection doesn't survive the 'reboot' into Androidland.

double post somehow

What is LoseMo? Never heard of it. That may be the issue then. If you lose the connection when you boot into android it wont connect. I had that issue for awhile. Once i figured it out all was fine. If you dont have a active connection when android starts it will fail to have a connection to data no matter what you do.

I get the same thing when I tried it.

Although when I try to run the commands from a script I get the second one if I run it at the command prompt I get no such file or directory

Kidding about LoseMo (WinMo)... I don't have a data plan I was talking about wifi.

Hopefully there are more people in on getting this to work. I think we (anyone listening) need to break this down a little and try to isolate individual problems nailed.

My plan:
I'm going to try to work with the emulator and see if I can get the Kaiser blends to run. If not, then the dev phone, lastly the stock FW that comes with the emulator.

If I can mount a fake SD card in it and get debian (first the premade one then ultimately a custom one) to install in the emulator with it's shortcomings then it should work in Haret right?

Please let me know who wants to help me do this-- I know we have the same phones and software but being in IT, I know sometimes the same directions can be interpreted many ways and maybe one will work if we have a large enough group testing it. Let me know.

Well i know wifi doesnt work at all yet. As i dont think there are any drivers for the kaiser and android. Data will only work if you setup the apn settings for your carrier. Not sure about the emulator. I havent tried anything like your idea but sounds good to me. Im going to try it now. Should work like you say But it is a emulator so who knows the outcome lol. Got ya now on loseMo. I was wondering what in the world you were talking about Had roms on my mind again.

ndiswrapper?

Has anyone either on Debian or Android, tried ndiswrapper with the WinMobile driver to see if wifi would work?
