In addition to what Darrick said, starting with 1624 on trunk, if you add: export ASTKD=/dev/hda2
to your .bash_profile (or whatever), then every time you build "make all runfs", then the contents of build_i586/runfs/os/ will be modified to include the appropriate kernel parameters for booting Linux. If you're an early adopter and using the Unionfs stuff, then setting: export ASTURW=/dev/hda3 (for instance) also works. Or "ASTKD=auto", etc... It will look at the size of your rootfs.i586.ext2 filesystem image (what your image uncompresses back to), and if it's more than 90MB, it will insert "noram" into the kernel parameters as well... (Darrick: the 90MB is hard coded... is there a variable that this could be inherited from? Or is it hard-coded elsewhere?) -Philip Darrick Hartman wrote: > John, > > Glad you were able to get things booting up properly. > > We're aware of the web interface issue.
