Hello,
I'm trying to install voyage-linux 0.5.2 for an ALIX 2d3-board with two
partitions on a 4 GB SANdisk Extreme III CF-card.
Since a single 4 GB partition does not boot on my ALIX, I decided to go the
save way: A 100 MB boot-partition and the rest of ca. 3.9 GB as
root-filesystem. I created the two partitons, made the first one bootable:
partition: /dev/sda1
- Type = ext2
- Label = BOOT_FS
partition: /dev/sda2
- Type = ext2
- Label = ROOT_FS
Then I installed voyage 0.5.2 with the following settings:
Configuration details:
Distribution directory: /home/haasc/VPN-Appliances/voyage-linux/voyage-0.5.2
Disk/Flash Device: /dev/sda
Installation Partition: /dev/sda2
Bootstrap Partition: /dev/sda1
Will be mounted
on: /home/haasc/VPN-Appliances/voyage-linux/voyage-cf-install/sda
Target system profile: ALIX
Target console: serial
Target baud rate: 38400
Bootstrap installer: grub
Bootstrap partition: /dev/sda1
But when trying to boot on the ALIX, I get after the GRUB-boot-menu this error
(I sniped the whole boot-process of the ALIX):

It seems to me that the handling of the two partitions does not work :-(
The /grub/menu.lst located on /dev/sda1 (/dev/hda1 on the ALIX):

The entry for the boot-partiton seems to be missing?
Also the files with the kernel and initrd are located in the directory /boot
on /dev/sda2 ...
What are the necessary steps to install voyage-linux 0.5.2 with a small
separate boot-partition and a big one for the root-filesystem?
Thanks in advance!
Christoph.
