Yes - it's an optimized version for the ALIX boards. I was about to upload fixed images for i486, but then I realized that the we had kernel debugging set, which raises images by factor three. It willl take another day.... still building and testing. kp > Tim > > On Sat, Nov 21, 2015 at 12:27 PM, David M Brooke <l...@davidmbrooke.co.uk> > > wrote: > > Hi Tim, > > > > Just a hunch, but “garbage” after the BIOS prompt is a classic symptom of > > a baud rate mis-match on the serial console. > > > > Might be worth checking what your terminal it set to use versus what is > > set > > for the kernel boot line in syslinux.cfg (115200 IIRC these days whereas > > it used to be 19200 in older versions). > > If you change it for the kernel bear in mind it’s also set (separately) > > for the > > login prompt in /etc/inittab > > > > dMb > > > > > On 21 Nov 2015, at 17:37, Timothy Wegner <t...@tswegner.net> wrote: > > > > > > Erich, > > > > > > You are correct that the Soekris net4801 has a Geode CPU (boot screen > > > says CPU Geode SC1100 267 Mhz).
