I've spent the past couple of weeks trying to get a build that will work on generic pc hardware (board is alix, but 'regular' linux distros run ok), but I've not found a combination that builds and then runs correctly.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a distro/machine pair that should give me this?

I've tried:

minimal / alix console-image : builds ok but /sbin/init isn't found at boot even though it's in the image. angstrom / x86 console-image : builds ok but the inittab in the image doesn't work with busybox and needs to be replaced in the initrd. Suffers from 'swapper' not going idle.

Various other distro/machine pairs that I've tried simply fail to build - I guess because they're not designed to work together?

Any clues will be gratefully received :-)

Chris
