Victor and I have been exchanging messages off-list and we have found and fixed the problem. The summary is: 1. The Bering-uClubc 4.0-beta1 initrd file was missing the "pata_sc1200" kernel Module required for the IDE controller on the WRAP board. Despite LEAFCFG being set correctly the system could not see /dev/sda1. Unfortunately it is not simply a case of extracting pata_sc1200.ko from modules.tgz, since it is not there either. 2. The Geode kernel does not work on the WRAP boards, only on the ALIX boards. The plain i486 kernel *does* work on the WRAP board, but there is no i486 "serial console" disk Image for 4.0-beta1. Both these problems will be fixed in 4.0-beta2. davidMbrooke ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn how Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) One Node allows customers to consolidate database storage, standardize their database environment, and, should the need arise, upgrade to a full multi-node Oracle RAC database without downtime or disruption http://p.sf.net/sfu/oracle-sfdevnl ------------------------------------------------------------------------ leaf-user mailing list: leaf-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user Support Request -- http://leaf-project.org/
