The old Bering uClibc is just using 10MB. You could try in leaf.cfg syst_size=24M log_size=2M tmp_size=6M You could extract modules needed for your NICs from modules.tgz using 7-zip on a windows box and copy them to the CF. After booting use the serial console to cp them from the CF to /lib/modules, list them in /etc/modules, backup modules, backup config and then reboot. This might get your hardware to work. The bare minimum packages you will need to load for a firewall are initrd initmod root config etc modules license shorewall iptables perl libdigest-sha1-perl dnsmaq dropbear mhttpd configdb moddb you might load bbntpd after you get it working to keep your clock synched *** Assuming you are using this for a simple home firewall, IMO the big iron box will eventually cost you more (from your monthly power bill) than a small 10 watt firewall box without a fan. If you are in the USA contact me off list - maybe I can find you an old wrap board that works.

Even 430FX supports 128M - but EDO, not SDRAM. -- 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
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?

Yes. The attached file is the printout from the serial connection. How do I readjust the memory usage during the install process?
