Hi Ryan,
Thanks for your reply.
RootFS getting corrupted by repeated <Ctrl+C>: Does that mean we have some known limitations / stability issues with the foundation model (or rootfs)? This was not an issue for past 6 months and has only showed up recently after I used the custom image.
So far I have generally launched the the model and used the model window itself to do build etc.. I remember having issues with doing SSH to the model from the host initially when I started using it. There was no steps mentioned in the user guide and I had tried various things without success. Few things I could do with the model were:
1. wget works 2. scp from host pc into the model works. 3. pinging an ip address from inside the model doesn't work (e.g "ping google.com" fails)
So, I don't know completely if and how to connect to the model via ssh so that I can avoid having to close a hung process by <Ctrl+c>. Could you please point me to some resource?
Thanks, Anil

Hi,
I am running into problems with starting foundation model lately.
- I had created an image using
linaro-image-lamp-genericarmv8-20140127-635.rootfs.tar.gz
It was booting fine initially.
The problem started happening after I attempted to build Groff
package,
which was not getting build and the model was getting frozen (no
response to
Ctrl + C, etc.). However I was able to restart the model by closing it
from
the launch window and then restarting it.
Now, the model simply fails to launch successfully (hangs in the middle, doesn't get to the command prompt).
I suspect you've corrupted your rootfs by killing the model repeatedly. Have you tried starting again with a "clean" rootfs, built with linaro-media-create? If not, you should.
Generally, I tend to SSH into my machines to run commands, rather than using the serial terminal. And if a command locks a session, I log in again via SSH and kill the old one, rather than pull the plug on the model.
Anyone knows whom should I report to about this?
This is a good place to discuss it.
Thanks, Anil
