I guess the first question would be - which image did you install on the
CF card?
I have an ALIX 1D and am really not impressed.
I have much more experience using the HP thin clients
That said, I believe there are images that support a serial console, and
other that use the VGA as the console.
Are you sure you are looking at the right console port??
I had a working CF card working on a thin client, moved it to ALIX 1D
and all booted and worked.
I was not impressed with the quality of the ALIX vga port,couldn't boot
the box with Damn Small Linux at all, which I have used quite often to
prepare CF cards on HP thin clients, and found it much more costly than
the HP thin clients often available on eBay. Many simply need a larger
flash memory to hold AstLinux, and for lightweight duty even the 128 Meg
Ram models do well.
Another inexperienced opinion.
Worth what you paid for it.

Dear all,
After checking other distris, I am rather sure that astlinux seems to
fit my needs best; these needs are
* ALIX 1 board
* AVM FritzCard
for private use, only
... so a small, fast, inexpensive embedded system.
I installed other distris successfully, but - as I said - I was not
convinced that they are too good for my needs.
The problem I have is the following:
After "dd"-ing the image to my CF-card, and powering my board, alix is
satisfied and says "Uncompressing Linux... OK, booting the kernel" once,
and after a while it jumps to the first line on the screen and says it
again. And yes, I waited long enough (actually I initiated it at around
midnight and at 9 this morning there was still no other result).
I tried to disable (close to ALL) things in the bios; especially ACPI. I
tried to boot without FritzCard first, ... nothing works. Can anyone
help me? I do WANT astlinux, cause I believe it rocks and you out there
are doing a fantastic job! :-D
Cheers, have a "Good Friday" and hope to hear from you!
Jan
