you have the soekris bios baudrate at ConSpeed = 19200 and the OS ur booting seems to be console=ttyS0,9600n8 my suggestion is that u do a "set ConSpeed 9600" at the bios of the soekris, and set ur controlling program to 9600... although some program are able to detect baud changes, sometimes it just doesnt work.. and when i boot from flash, i have flash = secondary & boot = 81 80 F0 FF it also seems like you have a preloaded OS on the flash, meaning, you take the card out of the soekris and mount in another machine, and write an image or manually add the files to the flashdrive. and it such a case, you have to make sure that both the preloading machine and the soekris sees the same CHS values of the card, otherwise the partitions are not going to be aligned correctly. _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
