Question about Uboot --> File not found

[Erik]

Hi

 

I have added the serial monitor (because i had some trouble booting up)

I can see the booting proces of the U-boot.

 

If i'm looking in the log, i see a few file not found entry's:

** File not found /boot/.verbose **
** File not found /boot/.next **
** Unrecognized filesystem type **
** File not found .next **

 

I did not see these files in the /boot directory either.

Can i change something to get ride of these messages.

 

Thx

In the /boot directory is the file .verbose, but not the file .next

 

The contents of the file .verbose are:

1464173183 sun8i armv7l   Orange Pi+ Linux version 3.4.112-sun8i (root@trusty) (gcc version 4.8.4 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.8.4-2ubuntu1~14.04.1) ) #30 SMP PREEMPT Sat Apr 30 19:49:10 CEST 2016

If you want to see more on serial console, you will need to alter boot scripts. 

 

There is nothing wrong.

 

.next is used to boot mainline kernel. If this is set, boot procedure is different.

.verbose is used to enable more verbosity in case of troubles

. unrecognized fs is because we try to load from other filesystems with one script.

Thank you. Makes things more clear
