Thanks Kristian,
It now works!
Actually it is not a Soekris. I thought so because the friend who gave
me the box told me this... But I checked the motherboard and it isn't.
I used the soekris image because it was the only one which was booting,
but I now know it was because of all the serial stuff which is not
present in the i586 image.
Everything is now running, and the usb stick is recognized.
Here is how I managed to get it working, for those who may experiment
the same issues:
My box has a CF adapter on secondary master and no video card, so I
have to manage it through serial connection.
- Write the i586 image
- Modify the grub.conf :
- Add this in the general config:
serial --unit=0 --speed=19200 --word=8 --parity=no --stop=1
terminal serial
- Change every line with hda to hdc (secondary master)
- Add this line in inittab:
console::respawn:/sbin/getty -L 19200 /dev/ttyS0 vt100
- Plug the CF, reboot.
Regards,
Pierre
