Ok so im here banging my head against the wall trying to get astlinux to run
under VMWare.. I know there used ot be images created for it so I know it
can be done.
Here is what I want..
I want to be able to work on my Astrlinux development while im say on an
airplane with no internet access.. (be able to write dialplan and test with
my softphone)... I have VMware server on my very capable dual core laptop
so no issues there..
So I have my custom builds of astlinux.. one is for a net5501 and one is for
a standard i586 generic (I run astlinux on both).
So I took a custom build, and did makerunnix.sh on it to create an image..
I can take that image and ddrescue it to a flash drive and it boots fine and
works.
So I found a program called qemu-img and ran that on the image makerunnix
created.. this turned it into a vmdk..
Created a virtual machine.. copied the vmdk over to the directory.. powered
on the virtual machine.
I get the following:
Boot:
Loading Runnix........................
Loading Runnix.img........
Ready.
Uncompressing Linux. Ok, booting the kernel.
Decompressing Linux. Parsing ELF. done.
And then no more output to the console afterwords. this is using the PC
version (not the net5501)
I figure im missing something dumb and that.
Ok so I got past that error.. turns out I had it set up for a serial
console. bad.
****
So now I get all the way to where it says
Copying AstLinux files to RAM.
Unmounting /cdrom
Pivoting.
INIT: version 2.86 booting
INIT: /etc/inittab[7]: id field too long (max 4 characters)
INIT: /etc/inittab[8]: id field too long (max 4 characters)
INIT: /etc/inittab[14]: missing id field
INIT: /etc/inittab[15]: missing id field
Enter runlevel:
And that's where it bombs. I don't want to use an ISO because I want to make
changes.. I really just want to run my astlinux just like I do on my PC in
my VMware.
Anything special I need to do?
