Re: [leaf-user] Installation of uClibc 5.1.2-beta1
Hi. K6 is i686-compatible, so you can run i686 image (due to SMP it can eat some more RAM, but it should run faster). You should buy more RAM to use all features without OOM - SDRAM costs almost nothing. CF should work ok if there is ho hw incompatibilities between CF and chipset (I don't know how good your chipset will work with CF - earlier I has troubles with NForce 570 and CF cards via CF-IDE adapter). 24.10.2014 02:26, Patrick Andersson ?: Hello. I have tried to install Bering-uClibc_5.1.2-beta1_i486_syslinux_serial19200 to a CF card and boot an AMD K6 computer with 32 MB of memory. I have a video card inserted during the installation. I'm currently running Bering uClibc with kernel 2.4.33, can't remember the version, booted from a floppy disc on the same computer. I'm attaching the printout from the boot up. 1) Is 32MB enough of memory? If not, what cn I do? 2) Is the CF working OK or is there some trouble? 3) What should I do to get it up and running on the CF?

I _believe_ it is mkdosfs I did basically the same as Victor, but installed LEAF on partitions 2 and 3, just installed the grub boot files on partition 1, which is less than 1 MB now. This makes it easy to have double boot on two different partitions and clone the system to partition 3 for recovery if needed. cheers Erich smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature -- leaf-user mailing list: leaf-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user Support Request -- http://leaf-project.org/

I was thinking of targeting the configuration files I know that I change, and using scp as all the firewalls I need to upgrade are available over SSH. That will work. I am in the process of writing an update procedure for myself, because I feel this is an area where we could still improve. Upgrading fron 4.x should not be much of a problem, as the format of configdb has not changed, so you can probably use your existing configdb. All it needs is the current kernel and modules along with the new package versions. If you are short of memory, the hardware detection might not work. I tried Victor's trick on my wrap and it failed for me. If you have sufficient space on the CF I would suggest to modify your boot program to support multiboot and either install the new release on a new partition or first clone the packages and settings to a new partition so you always have a fallback. cheers Erich smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature -- leaf-user mailing list: leaf-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user Support Request -- http://leaf-project.org/

Thanks! - Bop At 1st line it grabs all required files from FTP (for v4-v5 upgrade you should also grab here initmod.lrp - in v4 boot-time modules are into intrd, in v5 modules are splitted out). 2nd line - move initrd/initmod, kernel, moddb.lrp and modules.tgz to CF 3rd line - mostly configs update (apkg -u - updates package and, if default config is changed and config is edited, asks for merge, in other case - replace default config by updated one). Then - move all packages to CF, update syslinux.cfg (to add initmod.lrp) and run lrcfg save config. Try on some test box with cloned copy. -- leaf-user mailing list: leaf-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user Support Request -- http://leaf-project.org/
Re: [leaf-user] Installation of uClibc 5.1.2-beta1
Yes. The attached file is the printout from the serial connection. How do I readjust the memory usage during the install process? What does I will not be able to use the find and extract modules feature at install mean? Everything fitted on the CF card, I think. Is there something in the printout from the boot that suggests that? How do I select only the required packages and necessary libraries? I don't want to buy new hardware. The old Bering uClibc is just using 10MB. 2014-10-24 4:36 GMT+02:00 Victor McAllister victo...@sonic.net: On 10/23/2014 4:26 PM, Patrick Andersson wrote: Hello.

It is possible to run LEAF, but you will not be able to use the find and extract modules feature at install unless you readjust the memory usage during the install process. https://www.mail-archive.com/leaf-user@lists.sourceforge.net/msg24737.html If your CF card is small, you will have to select only the required packages and necessary libraries etc. Why not pick up a low energy, used router. I bought a used three ethernet ALIX board with case on ebay last week just as a spare.

Re: [leaf-user] Installation of uClibc 5.1.2-beta1
Hello. I couldn't boot with the i686-kernel. It was missing MMX. if I remember correctly.
