Hi folks, I finally managed to bring up a "recent" Linux on my old but beloved NetStation (small, fanless, low power consumption, and absolutely silent).
Accidentally I found NetworkStation project (networkstation.sf.net) and managed to bring up a woody from the coruna repositories and successfully upgraded to sarge. - Great. Now I wanted to try the trick with the ltsp-ppc tree from Chuck. What I got is a monolithic 2.4.21 kernel with a hardcoded NFS-root in it. But when I boot it (with the ltsp-ppc root-tree as nfs-root), the Netstation brings up the kernel, mounts the root-fs but than says: Warning: unable to open an initial console. Chucks kernel had appended to the cmd-line init=/linuxrc. - I suppose this is part of the problem. ... I suspect my trial was a bit naive ;-). Anyhow, now as I see a good chance to get LTSP-ppc working, I find this worth pursuing. Now my questions: (1) Am I right, that I don't need an initrd, if I use a monolithic kernel? (2) Is there a way to re-tag/ modify the kernel I have for ltsp, e.g. by adding the "init=/linuxrc" cmd-line-option? (3) If I have to build my own kernel for ltsp - What do I do, since this is ppc and not i386? Your help is appreciated! Thanks!
