Hi Folks some more info, still trying to bring a WRAP to boot Bering 5.01
The first hurdle appears to be a bigger CF. I was using a 4G CF, which used to be a decent CF a few years ago, no dice. Copying my complete test to partition #2 on a 32 MB CF got me ahead. The partition could be mounted and the leaf configuration could be accessed. The next problem arose because the etc.lrp package distributed in uClibc_5.0.1_i486_syslinux_serial.tar.gz does not contain an inittab file for serial access. This is easily fixed, but withoud a running linux system it is a tedious thing. I consider this a bug. <rant> Now after more than 8 hours of work, some of it due to my stubbornness to use grub as a bootloader, I have a bootable 5.01 on my WRAP, of course without ethernet connectivity yet, as a small CF does not allow for the fully blown modules tarball. Needless to say that most people would have given up long before. Now the tedious work of selecting the right modules for my hardware and copying it file by file to the CF and then into /lib/modules is ahead. And this is for a piece of hardware we used to support for quite a while. But then, maybe we are not supporting it anymore. I believe we need to invest into usability to get a bigger audience. </rant> If anyone has succeeded to boot 5.01 on a SC1100 Geode using the pata_SC1200 module from a 4Gb CF please let me know. Thanks Erich
