mLinux boot in safe mode

[Alejandro Veiga]

Hi,
Programming my Conduit mLinux, I´ve made a mistake in /etc/network/interfaces, adding a post-up action that hangs boot sequence. From the console I see:

INIT: Entering runlevel: 5
Configuring network interfaces… macb f802c000.ethernet eth0: link up (100/Full)

and boot sequence stops there. I can’t log in from the console and remote connections are refused.
Is there a way to boot avoiding network interface configuration, so that I can log in and fix the error?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Alejandro

Alehandro,

I’m afraid you will have to re-flash the device from Uboot. I am not aware of any way to avoid the network interface configuration once you’re in that state.

The following link provides detailed instructions on how to re-flash from Uboot:
