Just thought I would let you know that I have an ALIX1 in production using the i586 image and I have had no problems. The ALIX1 has a video and keyboard port so I didnt have the same console problem. I will be using the ALIX2 and ALIX3 from now on so I will need to perform an extra step.
I am assuming that I will build and insert the flash, boot the system up on the network, discover the allocated IP Address from the DHCP server, SSH in, change the console (using a faster speed than 19200) in grub and then reboot and away I go as before. Would the Net5501 image be more appropriate as it already sets up the console port?

I was thinking of trying the Wrap image, think that would work? As the WRAP is discontinued, I am seeking a solution for an application to support a couple of IP phones at a remote office off an Asterisk box; What's best practice here with astlinux; OPENVPN bridge/tunnel? Can it all be done from the .rc file.

Unless you add a "console=" line to grub you won't see output from the kernel booting on your serial port. Try this: console=ttyS0,19200n8 -- Kristian Kielhofner ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
