Hi Lars,
I still could not duplicate the errors!
What is the brand of CF that you are using? How many MB does
it actually have? It could be that I made an assumption that
is wrong for your CF brand. The conf directory is at the end
of the CF, so it may not actually be written.
Lexar Compact Flash - 249MB actual capacity.
I found a workaround.
I grabbed an extra Dell Desktop, removed its hard drive & replaced it
with the 249MB Lexar Compact Flash. Then I booted off the LiveCD(beta
4) & installed pfSense using option 99.
I partitioned the CF card with 244 on /, no swap partition. On the
advice of a fellow in the IRC channel I disabled logging to the local
CF Card. After installing to the CF card it was placed in the
previously non-working box & booted off CF w/o a problem.
pfSense is working for this client now, and I'm happy to confirm that
the traffic shaping is working with SIP & IAX2 on this CF install by
copying the definitions created by by the EZ traffic shaper wizard and
adding them to IAX2 port 4569. We did some stress tests using
BitTorrent & broadbandreports.com and voice quality was unaffected!
There were 4 boxes involved in this scenario. pfSense would not
install to the hard drive or CF on 3 of them, but would install to the
hard drive using the 4th box - the Dell Dimension 2400 desktop. That
same desktop box was the system used to install pfSense to the CF
card.
The Lexar CF card then booted fine as previously described.
I'll see if I can get some hardware specs on the 3 boxes that
initially failed to install.
Bao, thanks for your responses.
