Okay, I just tried another attempt. I kept the Geode based initrd.lrp, but removed the part of the APPEND line indicating the serial port, REMOVED the configdb.lrp file, and then added the libata.dma=3 into the APPEND statement. It boots up. Thanks again.
Now that it is booting, can I just copy the moddb.lrp and configdb.lrp from my existing production device (BuC 3.x) to this "test" device to establish the configuration (wanted to keep the same setup). I assume, even if I copy those *.lrp files, I'll have to edit the Shorewall configuration due to the differences in the versions, right? bpk On Apr 11, 2012, at 11:26 AM, david M brooke wrote: > > On 11 Apr 2012, at 19:12, n22e113 wrote: > >>> I downloaded the file Bering-uClibc_4.1_geode_syslinux_ser.tar. >> The above tar file will redirect all output to /dev/ttyS0 (aka >> COM1:DB-9) serial ports (See page 12 of your AR-B1554 User's Guide).
