Comment (by sturgillbd):
The problem is the kernel config. When building the kernel for a WRAP
board, the kernel needs to know it is a Geode processor. I changed
everything in the kernel config that had an option for Geode from generic
X86 to Geode. I then recompiled the whole Openwrt. It isn't a secret. I
sat down and went through all of the kernel options. The kernel has a
reboot fixup patch for Geode as part of the source. The kernel was not
detecting it as a Geode, so I went into the kernel config and set it up as
a Geode. If you do not want to go through the trouble of recompiling,
Backfire works fine. If you recompile the kernel, you have to use your
packages for drivers etc because of the changes you made to the kernel.
Lets say you got a new wifi card, It is an atheros card. You will have to
use the madwifi packages or the ath5k from the build you made instead of
getting the packages from the net. My way of dealing with this is having a
local packages directory on my CF card for the drivers etc. Normal
packages such as pico or vi are no problem to use from the internet. I am
not developer by any means. I am just a determined user :)
