Hi Punky: I am attaching the inittab on livecd, and both minicom settings I used on livecd and ubuntu are: /dev/ttyS0, 19200 N81, and no hardware flow control. I noticed the inittab has 38400 for tty1-6, and 9600 for ttyS0, are these causing trouble? I also did what you suggested: using qemu to start livecd and using minicom on ubuntu to connect soekris, but didn't work out, seems to have same problem as before. Should I try manual PXE boot guide: http://wiki.voyage.hk/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=pxe_voyage, it looks quite a long process though (starting from compiling kernels). For those wanting to set up qemu with bridging mode but not sure how to, here is a list of what I did: =====Install Voyage Linux on net4826===== - I have ubuntu 6.06 and kernel 2.6.15-27-386 on host system with 192.168.1.0 network - mkdir ~/qemu; cd ~/qemu - wget http://www.voyage.hk/download/ISO/voyage-current.iso - sudo apt-get linux-headers-2.6.15-27-386 bridge-utils minicom kernel-package - cd /usr/src; sudo ln -s linux-headers-2.6.15-27-386 linux - cd ~/qemu; wget http://www.qemu.org/kqemu-1.3.0pre9.tar.gz - tar zxvf kqemu-1.3.0pre9.tar.gz; cd kqemu-1.3.0pre9; configure; make; sudo make install - follow http://compsoc.dur.ac.uk/~djw/qemu.html <http://compsoc.dur.ac.uk/%7Edjw/qemu.html>, ubuntu already has tun/tap configured - I didn't bother with sudo setup - in my case, I need to first run "sudo umount /dev/shm; sudo mount -t tmpfs -o size=272m none /dev/shm" - for running qemu, replace the script "-hda win2k.img -boot c" with "-cdrom voyage-current.iso -boot d" - now run the qemu script, login with root/voyage into voyage VM, the IP should be 192.168.1.X - in voyage, /etc/init.d/voyage-pxe start 19200, you should get IP 192.168.1.200, and you can ping it from ubuntu - start minicom -s, select serial port setup, change serial device to /dev/ttyS0, Bps/Par/Bits to 19200 8N1, and set no hardware control - power up soekris 4826, hit ctrl-p and type boot f0 - 4826 correctly finds DHCP and TFTP, starts downloading, but then screen went messy, and frozen immediately after reboot On 2/2/07, Kim-man 'Punky' TSE <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi Jason, I have tested option 3 for pxe-installing voyage to 4521 a fews ago, and it works OK. I am still unsure why the console went crazy. So I would need the following information: 1. the /etc/inittab in the live-cd 2. the serial console setting in minicom. Can you also compare the serial port setting of minicom in the live-cd and ubuntu? These days I have been switching to pxe-install for new board installation and testing instead of using the old voyage.update way. I didn't see this problem as I run the live cd in VMWare on windows and use hyperterminal on windows to connect the board. I didn't try the minicom in the live cd. My suggested workaround is running the live cd under qemu on ubuntu and use the minicom in ubuntu to connect the board. Anyone have the similar experience, or has successful story on installing voyage on the live cd, please share with us. Thank you.
