[U-Boot-Users] Simple newbie fs question
I apologize for this beforehand, but maybe there's a simple answer. I'm very new to uboot.
I've gotten myself into a tough spot. There's a application on my computer preventing my boot from completing, since it freezes. I can fix it if I can just remove/corrupt the guilty file on my file system. So I stop the boot and enter into the uboot command line. I can see the file I want to remove, but I am not skilled enough to know if/how I can alter it or remove it from the uboot command line. I'm using version 1.1.3.
If such a thing is possible I would appreciate instructions.
Thanks.

Sorry, your description is too vague. Please tell us which architecture (PowerPC, ARM, MIPS, etc.), what type of file storage (CompactFlash, hard drive etc.), the operating system you're trying to boot and the file system type. How do you 'see' the file that you want to remove?

Thanks for the reply.
It's a PowerPC Linux Kernel Image.
It's on a 32 mb flash.
fsinfo says it is type JFFS2.
I can view the file using the 'ls' command. I can even 'load' it with fsload.

U-Boot supports only read-only file system access. All you can do i erase the whole JFFS2 file system and re-install from a (clkeaned up) version.

Bad news. AFAIK, you can only read the file system or wipe out the whole thing.
