Geez, I bet you guys are getting tired of this topic.
Anyhow, here goes. I�ve got a VX40 Multia, which I�m trying to
netboot. I tried stable, no dice. kernel dies and it reboots. Then, I
tried Woody. It worked. Loads tftpboot.img, I�m able to mount nfs,
install the base system. I get an error about chroot /target, but I
cancel out, and attempt to finish the install. It locks up on reboot.
So, then I take my newly loaded Debian install, and try to boot with
an aboot padded kernel. Of course, I�m sure you know what happens, as
the Debian kernels no longer have NFS compiled in, and it can�t mount
root fs.
The thing I find interesting is that woody works up to a point. Did
2.2r4 work? I could live with that for a while, and then upgrade to
woody when it�s released. Is there even anywhere to get 2.2r4
anymore?
NetBSD, OpenBSD, and FreeBSD all are afflicted with the same
problem. The kernel can�t get the mac address from the firmware. At
first, I thought this might of been the problem that potato had, and
maybe it did, but it�s fixed now, I guess. I suppose I need to get
out a cross compiler and start building.
So really, my questions are as follows:
1. What�s the instructions for getting and building a kernel on the
cross compiler?
2. Any ideas on where to find 2.2r4 (if it works)?
Thanks a lot!
Zach Lowry
