Hello Astlinux experts,
Forgive me if this is a very trivial question.
I am trying to build the astlinux using the new build environment and then plan to write this to a CF card as bootable astlinux.
I was able to do the build by copying astlinux.config as .config and compiling the stuff.
Now my problem is. how do i create the CF image.
I tried by selecting ext2 as filesystem for target device in the "make menuconfig" GUI and then I got rootfs.i586.ext2. Then I wrote this to a flash card using DiskImg utility. But this CF card is unable to boot. But when I try to directly download the geni586.img for the flash card from the site for Astlinux 0.3 and write it to flash card using DiskImg, then it is bootable and had no problems.
But I need the flexibility of building this myself in order to add some more packages...What am i missing in creating CF image ?
Thank you very much in advance.
Regards
voipwala
