hi everybody
if someone can build for me an i386 kernel, I can give it a try on one
of my net4501 systems. Unfortunately I still haven't a BuC 4.0
development system

Hi kp,
I agree that we don't really want a fourth kernel variant, but it does
seem that the net4501 CPU needs CONFIG_X86_ELAN=y - at least with
2.6.35.11.
The changes for the ELAN kernel that is working OK for Graziano are in
the diff output below. (Most of the removed lines were as a result of

I wonder if the ELAN kernel would be a candidate for running on a
generic i486 machine? Perhaps Andrew or others could comment based on

It's unneeded - it'll be enough to add pata_legacy in /etc/modules or

There are generic drivers (ata_generic, pata_legacy). But they can be

Hi Graziano,
Excellent. Other people will be using the net4501 with 4.x so I would
like to include the necessary changes automatically as part of the build
process rather than having to edit the initrd manually. Since we seem to
need a custom kernel we need a custom disk Image, so we might as

Reviewing the details for the Soekris 4501, it uses the Elan 520 CPU,
which does not have a built-in PCI HDD controller. While I was unable
to find specifics on the Soekris site, the CF card is almost certainly
mapped as a standard ISA programmed I/O

Thanks very much for your insight. In parallel I came to the conclusion

Hi Graziano,
That's great news! At least we're making progress...
For others reading this thread I should explain that I built Graziano a

CONFIG_M486=y) and that is what is now booting on the net4501. Looks

I think there is a misunderstanding about the problem.
I have two machine:
- the first is a Soekris net4501 and on this machine the kernel does not

/initrd.lrp, but nothing more. The system hangs. On this system
Hi Graziano,
Ah, OK. I did not spot that some of your output was from the net4801...
There is a kernel .config option CONFIG_X86_ELAN which is not set for
our current 4.x builds. It is not completely clear to me what effect
setting this will have, but it is worth a try. If this is indeed the
Hi Graziano,
OK. So your kernel is getting as far as processing the /init script
(which is where the LINUXRC messages come from) which means the kernel
itself must be OK for your hardware. It still feels to me like the
problem is a kernel Module for your Compact Flash drive missing from

I have tried to change initrd in rc1, but i don't known which IDE driver
is correct for net4501; perhaps the generic IDE driver
(ide-generic.ko) can run correctly but i cannot find it in modules.tgz.

I see you have nodma=hda ide=nodma for Bering 3.1. Are you using the
