i'm trying to configure my soekris 4501 with bering uclibc 2.2.3. it
was working fine with 2.2.0, and if i put the old 2.2.0 CF card back in
and boot, it works perfectly. i have been using LEAF since LRP
materhorn days, but only on one or two machines, so installs don't
happen very often, and stuff gets forgotten.
after finding that syslinux 3.08 would not boot properly and downgrading
to 2.11, i got the stock bering 2.2.3 with a renamed initrd_ide.lrp to
boot. i also uncommented the natsemi line in /etc/modules in the
modules.lrp file, and modified the inittab file to enable serial console
output at boot.
also, in previous versions of bering, when modifying the initrd.lrp
modules file, one used to add ide-mod, ide-disk, and ide-probe-mod to
the /boot/etc/modules file. now, there are cdrom, ide-core, ide-disk,
ide-cd, ide-detect, isofs. i would guess the cd related ones are not
necessary for booting off compact flash.
the first indication of trouble is near the end of shorewall startup,
when i saw the following message...
Masqueraded Networks and Hosts:
Error: Unable to determine the routes through interface "eth1"
upon further investigation, i found that it looks like the natsemi
driver didn't load. also of note are the error messages near the ide
detection
Using /boot/lib/modules/isofs.o
hda: attached ide-disk driver.
hda: task_no_data_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hda: task_no_data_intr: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError }
hda: 15744 sectors (8 MB) w/1KiB Cache, CHS=246/2/32
so what is so different about 2.2.3 than 2.2.0 that i can't get it
working?? i know that's a generic question, but i haven't found
anything to help out, and this seems to me to be a 2.2.3 (or maybe it
crept in 2.2.1 - 2.2.2) specific issue.
why is natsemi not loading?? and what are the ide related error messages??
thanks very much in advance.

for a complete boot history (it's so long, i didn't want to include it
all), i have copied it to a text file and posted it at...
