RE: any embedded linux distros support disk on chip?

[Bud Wilbur]

Warren, You will need to rebuild the kernel for the drivers to be loaded. I went through this with MSystems DOC stuff and it was fairly painless.   Good luck, Bud... -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Warren Postma Sent: Wednesday, March 22, 2000 8:49 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: any embedded linux distros support disk on chip? we have pc-104 hardware and have tried the Caldera/Lineo 1.0 offering. I assume it works with IDE-workalike devices (SansDisk Compact Flash) but not with DiskOnChip.  We couldn't get it to recognize the DiskOnChip at all.   Anyways, I'm not thinking too highly of Blue Cat linux yet, because they don't even have a freely downloadable 'basic version'. I assume by the terms of the GPL they are required to provide something workable for free, and charge for the extras and support. Since they aren't following that sort of pattern so far, I think Caldera/Lineo looks more promising in the future. But I still can't install on my PC104 486 CPU without a DiskOnChip driver, and I already went to the DiskOnChip page and downloaded the drivers.  I don't want to recompile the kernel.... <fear of kernel recompilation, some day I'm going to have to deal with that irrational fear... but anyways...>   Warren
