That doesn't explain what you're seeing. If oldsys-preseed cannot read the disk on Buffalo devices, it should still generate a preseed file with DHCP and a fallback IP address (as well as the lowmem override). Please debug why (and what) is not working for you. > I think maybe it's necessary to split "orion5x" as: > - orion5x with serial console support, which keeps current config, so > as kuroboxpro can be supported > - orion5x without serial console support, re-enable sata and ext4, but > disable jffs2 and micro-evtd > > What's your idea? "with serial console support" would be the netboot image. So you're suggesting that Kurobox Pro should use the netboot image whereas other Buffalo devices should use network-console. I don't know if Kurobox Pro all have a serial console. I used to have such a device but I cannot remember anything about it. -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/
