All,
Here's an update on efforts to install AstLinux on new hardware, which uses a
SATA solid-state module in lieu of a hard-drive:
Added 'noram' to the end of the astlinux-0.7.1.run.conf file KCMD line (no joy)
Repeated install process, this time without using Windows to initially download
AstLinux image (no joy)
Suspecting the SATA solid-state module, installed AstLinux on SATA hard drive
(with solid-state module disconnected) instead (no joy)
Suspecting some Linux incompatibility problem with hardware, installed SUSI on
SATA hard drive (SUSI works perfectly)
By "no joy", I mean that I get this error, following an otherwise uneventful
boot process:
udhcpc: SIOCGIFINDEX failoed: No such device
Verifying astlinux-0.7.1.run...
astlinux-0.7.1.run verified
Root mounted
Custom initrd /mnt/base/os/initrd.img found
Custom kernel /mnt/root/boot/bzImage found
Copying kernel and initrd to ramdisk...
Unmounting image...
Trying kexec...
Invalid memory segment 0x1ec46000 - 0x1ecaffff
/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
/mnt/base/os $
Now that I think of it, I've never asked: Is AstLinux compatible with SATA
drives?
As always, I would appreciate your thoughts.
Dan

Chris, Tom, Phillip and All,
Thank you for the great ideas. I'll give them all a try at my next
opportunity, hopefully tonight, and report my findings.
Happy Easter!

From memory if I remember correctly the image is loaded at thispoint, and im
thinking you can poke around.. but that you can get to/oldroot/cdrom and then
eventually I found my way into a BIN directory where Icould run busybox which
contains vi… I would have to knock one of my machinesoff line to get to that
state to find out.. but you can ‘cd’ around to findit. the other thing you
can do is download “system rescue cd” and there areinstructions on how to burn
it to a USB stick(if you don’t have a CD drive),boot from that, mount the FAT
partition on your astlinux drive and then makechanges to that run.conf file..
I use that tool often..

Darrick,
Thank you for the reply and suggestions. Sorry for the delay in response;yard
work and March Madness distracted me from my AstLinux hobby.
Sadly, when this error occurs, although I'm left with a command prompt, I
haveno nano, vi, or other equally capable tool to editastlinux-0.7.1.run.conf.
Since I have no other SATA hardware here at home(my machines are mostly misfit
toys), I can't try another machine today. Perhaps I'll have to bring the SATA
drive to work and try editing it there.
Here's another part of the symptom that seems strange: This machine alsohas a
SATA CD ROM. I can successfully boot the astlinux.iso CD from theSATA CD ROM
if the SATA solid-state drive is either disconnected or has had itspartitions
removed. However, once the AstLinux image is DD'd onto thesolid-state drive,
attempts to boot from either the CD or the SATA driveresult in the error
described below. I've also tried to boot the machinewith just the SATA drive
connected (and the CD ROM disconnected) with the sameresults.

Dan,
Can you edit the astlinux-0.7.1.run.conf file and add noram to the end
of the KCMD line?
Not sure if that will work, but we may get closer to finding a resolution.
