Hi Mathias,
Glad that you have been testing this but I can tell you this is the
known issue.
Voyage 0.4.1 kernel has in-kernel, geode-specific codes that enables the
mfgpt (multi-purpose general function timer), which is required for the
watchdog driver. The code works on Alix1C board. However, the same
piece of code does not work on Alix2B and 3B. This problem has been
reported to Pascal in PCEngines, and we concluded that it is the BIOS
issue that some of the chipset features are not set correctly. You may
also know that the TinyBIOS in alix2b and 3b are not fully ready yet.
So we have to wait until the BIOS is ready, or using Voyage 0.4.0, but
you will not having watchdog feature.
Regards,
Punky

Hi!
I've just been trying to install Voyage 0.4.1 on a brand new Alix board... I
say "trying" because the boot goes all right until it reaches:
checking if image is initramfs... it is
Freeing initrd memory: 1916k freed
And then, it stops... Nothing more, I've been trying to connect by ethernet to
no avail.
I am using a 256 Mo compact flash card, the card has been prepared using
the "update" script on a Mandriva Linux computer and I am using a serial
console (as configured in during the installation). The board is an alix 2b3
(see http://www.pcengines.ch/alix2b3.htm).
If anybody has the slightest idea on what is going wrong, it would be very
helpful!
Thanks,
Mathias Bavay
