Hi Chad!

The kernel for Bering-b4 is 2.4.16.

You can compile it in any linux box, including RedHat. For the binaries, you
must
compile them on a 2.0 glibc system, or use the compatible RPM's from RedHat.
On the Oxygen Devel CD you have all of the necessary instructions.

Hope this help

Subject: [Leaf-user] Bering compact flash image with serial console support


I am attempting to create a Bering image with the following qualities:

1) boots from 4 MB compact flash connected to ide controller on Soekris
net4501 (www.soekris.com)
2) supports the National Semiconductor ethernet devices on the Soekris
net4501
3) has console on serial port
4) has ipsec support

My question is this:  in order to accomplish 3 and 4, I had to compile a new
kernel.  I did this by acquiring the bering-beta4 config file, applying the
freeswan patches to a 2.4.17 source tree, and making the kernel and modules
on a Debian Woody box.  Is this allowed?  Do I have to compile my kernel and
modules on a Slink box as well as the binaries?

The kernel boots fine with serial support and all, ipsec and natsemi modules
seems to work fine, but eventually, I get a kernel panic.  When I try to
ping machines connected to either interface, I get nothing but transmit
timeouts and it seems to accelerate the process.  the output of ifconfig for
that interface shows:

        TX packets:3 errors:9 dropped:0 overruns:3 carrier:3
        Collisions:0

I have also posted to the soekris-tech list, but I do have a sneaking
suspicion that I have taken a short cut that has gotten me into hot water.
