I'm attempting to get linux running on a IBM NetStation 300. A IBM NetStation 300 is a Network Terminal, with the following specs:
1-2MB of Video RAM, S3 Trio64V Video Chipset 16-64MB of System RAM (2 x 72pin slots) 66MHz PowerPC 403GCX Processor PCMCIA interface (single slot) PS2 keyboard port PS2 mouse 10baseT Ethernet 9-pin serial port parralel port video port 8-bit sound w/onboard speaker This has the same processor as the Tivo, I believe, so I would assume that it would be possible to run Linux on it, assuming I can find a way to bootload it. The BIOS boots a kernel via TFTP, NFS, or local (presumedly PCMCIA flash) The BIOS allows you to set the TFTP/NFS directory, kernel name, ip info, screen resolution, ect. When I start a TFTP server and place a misc file, or one of the 2.3.42 kernel images (w/bootloader I believe) from http://gfs.lcse.umn.edu/~grant/Linux/ the BIOS says Incorrect file type, versus File not found (which matching file isn't there) Anyone here ever loaded linux on a IBM NetStation before? Ideas? -Jared H. ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
