Hello, just in case anyone has problems booting a Linux kernel off a CF card on an Soekris box using an "burn on PC"-created image and GRUB again, try this:
- boot up Soekris box and write down (C/H/S) disk geometry values - find out where in the build procedure fdisk is run and pass it the C/H/S values: fdisk -C cyls -H heads -S sects ... If this doesn't help, there's apparently a bug in GRUB. If it does, please report it back. I've been getting more and more curious about what exactly the problem is here, just don't have the time to test it myself. Strange that no-one has mentioned this so far, in an OpenBSD environment this is common knowledge. Bill P.S. Quite some thread you started, Domenico;) On Wed, 2007-06-27 at 10:54 +0200, Domenico Cacciari wrote: > Hi, > i´ve installed linux ubuntu 2.6.20-16-server with grub on cf card... i > have all the output on serial console but when the net4801 boots up > after grub i don´t see nothing, i have only one long and one short flash > of the disk activity led but no more. > Ther are some specific parameters for the kernel or what? someone can > help me? thanks > -- "Fix bugs first, add features later" _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
