Hi Max and e-box customers,

May I know who and where saying that DMP/e-box recommends Voyage Linux to their customer? I have sent a query to [email protected] and here is my questions and their reply. (I removed [email protected] from CC list)

My questions:
===================================
<snip>
1. Are you interested in working with open-source community?
2. Would you like to sponsor us some hardware to aid development of Voyage Linux to get ebox 2300/3300 official support?

I am looking for your favourable reply.
===================================

And their response:
===================================
Thanks for the mail, actually we are the simply hardware manufacture focus
on hardware product sell, and for O/S that we provided standard service for
like Windows and regular Linux kernel, for special distribution like yours,
we prefer let interesting  customer talk to you directly.
===================================

Regards,
Punky

Hi Punky,

Thanks for the hard work. It is a shame that DMP is selling something that seems to me to be broken and is not even willing to support those like you who are providing free support to their customers. Voyage Linux is one of the rare Linux distros that actually supports this seemingly broken piece of hardware with the most recent kernel.

The really appalling and outrageous thing is that they even dare to recommend Voyage Linux to their customers. Am i the only one upset by this? What do other DMP customers in this list think?

Max.

    Hi Max,

    Obviously, it is either r6040 in 2.6.26 kernel does not work or
    some other kernel modules (e.g. ide) is conflicting the r6040.  I
    have no solution right now unless I have access to the hardware.

    I have asked DMP to sponsor me a board but unfortunately they were
    not keen to do so.

        Hi Punky,

        I removed the all_generic_ide param from the command. As far
        as i can tell, ide1 now occupies irq5. See the dmesg logs
        below. In fact while booting i saw the notice that R6040 was
        loaded. Unfortunately, still networking doesn't work. ifup
        eth0, ifconfig -a, and lspci -v  produce the same result as
        before. I'm appending the logs from dmesg.

        I very much appreciate your support.
        Max.
