(This is a continuation of an earlier post which I've lost.) I'm unable to get initrd.lrp to load with Bering-uClibc_2.2 on a Soekris net4501. I've tried rolling my own following the instructions on http://www.telltronics.org/software/Bering/BeringCross.html and I also tried the latest initrd_ide_cd.lrp (renamed initrd.lrp) as was suggested here. Both fail in exactly the same way.
The Soekris is currently running Bering uClibc 2.1 on an identical 8M CF card (both SanDisc-made, Cannon-branded). To confirm that my card is not the problem I copied the 2.1 LRP image from the other card using dd and it worked fine. As I described before, when I try to boot Bering uClibc 2.2 the Soekris box starts up, loads linux off the card and then starts spitting garbage to the serial console at the point where it should load initrd. The problem does not *appear* to be just a corrupt initrd.lrp. I took the initrd.lrp off of the 2.1 CF card and copied it onto the 2.2 one. It still failed in the same way: garbage after 'linux.....'. When I gunzip initrd.lrp 'file' says it's a minix filesystem, and when I mount it -tminix -oloop it looks fine. My cards are formatted with fat12 filesystems. My syslinux.cfg looks like this: display syslinux.dpy timeout 0 default linux console=ttyS0,19200n8 initrd=initrd.lrp init=/linuxrc rw root=/dev/ram0 boot=/dev/hda1:msdos PKGPATH=/dev/hda1 tmp_size=16M syst_size=10M Any ideas what's wrong here? Has anybody managed to get 2.2 running on a net4501?
