Hello, We got a net5501 last week. Nice box, but we are running into boot troubles (Gentoo Linux installed on a Kingston 8Gb CF card).
When powered on (cold boot), grub boots but does not "find" its configuration file. We get the grub shell, where a 'configfile /boot/grub/grub.conf' is needed to get the box to boot the OS. After this, at any other time (reboot from the BIOS, from Grub, from the running OS), if the power has not gone out, grub will find its config file and boots everything as it should. But it's really troublesome if the box cannot perform a standalone boot after poweroff (15 minutes blackouts are not that uncommon around here). Any hints about how to solve this ? The boot screen says : comBIOS ver. 1.33 20070103 Copyright (C) 2000-2007 Soekris Engineering. net5501 0256 Mbyte Memory CPU Geode LX 434 Mhz Pri Mas CF CARD 8GB LBA Xlt 971-255-63 7807 Mbyte Slot Vend Dev ClassRev Cmd Stat CL LT HT Base1 Base2 Int ------------------------------------------------------------------- 0:01:2 1022 2082 10100000 0006 0220 08 00 00 A0000000 00000000 10 0:06:0 1106 3053 02000096 0117 0210 08 40 00 0000E101 A0004000 11 0:07:0 1106 3053 02000096 0117 0210 08 40 00 0000E201 A0004100 05 0:08:0 1106 3053 02000096 0117 0210 08 40 00 0000E301 A0004200 09 0:09:0 1106 3053 02000096 0117 0210 08 40 00 0000E401 A0004300 12 0:20:0 1022 2090 06010003 0009 02A0 08 40 80 00006001 00006101 0:20:2 1022 209A 01018001 0005 02A0 08 00 00 00000000 00000000 0:21:0 1022 2094 0C031002 0006 0230 08 00 80 A0005000 00000000 15 0:21:1 1022 2095 0C032002 0006 0230 08 00 00 A0006000 00000000 15 And BIOS params are : ConSpeed = 19200 ConLock = Enabled ConMute = Disabled BIOSentry = Enabled PCIROMS = Enabled PXEBoot = Enabled FLASH = Primary BootDelay = 5 FastBoot = Disabled BootPartition = Disabled BootDrive = 80 81 F0 FF ShowPCI = Enabled Reset = Hard CpuSpeed = Default Thanks for the help, -- Mbdr _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
