OK :) You're lucky guys:)) So now I know from you that Bering is working on 486, maybe not on all 486s (for example - mine) > The issue, I believe, is that there is not enough memory.

I created floppy bootdisk 1.44 with Bering. I've cut packages and syslinux.cfg now looks like: display syslinux.dpy timeout 0 default linux initrd=initrd.lrp syst_size=2600K log_size=100K tmp_size=600K init=/linuxrc root=/dev/ram0 boot=/dev/fd0:msdos PKGPATH=/dev/fd0 LRP=root,etc,local,modules,iptables I tryed this on my desktop (iCeleron 333 with 192 MB RAM) and it boots of course. The TMPFS is used in 98% so it has a little free space. /var/log I've limitted to 100kB and /tmp to 600kB (to backup be still possible - none of packages is bigger then 600kB). Then I tryed this on my 486 with 8 MB RAM. Here is what I've seen: [to this moment all was OK] INIT: version 2.78 booting update-rc.d: not found INIT: Entering runlevel: 2 INIT: cannot execute "/sbin/getty" INIT: cannot execute "/sbin/getty" INIT: cannot execute "/sbin/getty" ...

[about ten or more the same lines] I don't know where is the problem? In hardware? Is there anyone who did it - runing Bering on 486 with 8 MB RAM? > # uname -a > Linux firewall 2.4.18 #4 Sun Jun 9 09:46:15 CEST 2002 i486 unknown OK, sorry, my fault, this command shows on what processor we run linux, not for what processor linux was compiled. > We need some more information on your exact hardware to be of much > more help. There has been some good suggestions thus far. OK, so there are details of my hardware which I have this problem: First: mainboard Intel with PCI slots and AMIBIOS Intel 486 DX/66 8 MB RAM (2xSIMM) Second: AMD K5/75 Later I will give details about mainboard, cause now I've lent it. -- Pawel Idzi http://lotnisko.net/pi/ pi (at) lotnisko (dot) net ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: To learn the basics of securing your web site with SSL, click here to get a FREE TRIAL of a Thawte Server Certificate: http://www.gothawte.com/rd524.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------ leaf-user mailing list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user SR FAQ: http://leaf-project.org/pub/doc/docmanager/docid_1891.html
