I'm still having problems with that earlier machine and VC2. It fails after: "Begin: Mounting root filesystem... ..." and displays:
BusyBox v1.1.3 (Debian 1:1.1.3-3) built-in shell (ash) Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands. /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off (initramfs) I got a different machine to also get vyatta working on -- vyatta boots on that luckily (but yes I'm stubborn and would like vyatta on the other one still ;P ). But getting things to work isn't a sure thing yet. I also have two quad port pci cards I want to get working, among some single port cards that seem to be recognized. They are "Phobos P-430" - 100Mbit RJ-45 cards. Not sure if the right modules are loading b/c I can't find them with "lspci" on vyatta or "ifconfig." According to online manuals and Linux resource sites, the module needed for the P-430 cards should be built into the kernel -- it should be "tulip.o" or something close to that. If anyone has any ideas, give me a yell. This will be my precious box when fully configured.
