This brings up an issue for me. I just blew a few bucks on a "Disk on Module" gizmo. Has 1gb in flash that connects directly to the IDE interface. My intent is to go "diskless" but I also want to avoid the use of a USB dongle hanging out the back of box once I put it into production.
What I plan to do is give the ASTBOOT partition about 96mb and then setup a second partition that I will use as my ASTKD. I have played with this config previously with a 256mb CF card and it seemed to work ok. I have played with it enough using release v4.2 to understand what I have to do in GRUB.CONF to make it find my partitions. However, I am currently running the SVN 326 version of ASTLINUX and have been testing this version using a CF ASTBOOT and a USB ASTKD. Question is: Is there something about the more recent SVN versions that will make it tricky to go without the USB based ASTKD or should what I am planning to do work ok? I am still kind of new to this distro so if screws up I could be scratching my head for a week until I figure it out.

I've noticed the same behaviour you describe when running from IDE without a keydisk (seems to work as if it were running from CD whether the media is RO or not). Puzzled me, too - I just gave it a USB keydisk and all was well. Hope this helps! > > -Matt Farley > Why yes Matt. I am not using a Keydisk. I was thinking of using another IDE drive as a keydisk. (Or maybe I'll break down and buy a USB memory stick ). I was just thinking there should be a way to run the whole thing off the hard drive. I got a softphone to listen to an echotest today!
