My alix2 (an Alix 2D13), is running the stock tinyBIOS: http://www.pcengines.ch/alix2d13.htm The Soekris net4521 has its stock comBIOS: http://soekris.com/products/net4521.html David> Or is it actually the OpenWRT image that's the problem?

I have tried booting the net45xx image on the Alix (there are some ignorable serial bitrate differences), but it seems to do the same thing the alix2 image does. I see the Grub2 menu, then the countdown timer expires, the screen blanks, and I see "Booting OpenWrt" plus two newlines and stops. -- Russell Senior, President [email protected] _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
