Well, I was only checking ifconfig, but ifconfig -a told me that the onboard NICs were there, just not configured. I copied /etc/rc.conf to /mnt/kd, and changed EXTIF from eth0 to eth1. This seems to have done the trick. Does that sound about right? Thanks, and apologies for all the questions. Ch

OK. Finally got the geni586 image written to a card. 8139too is uncommented by default, so that seems good. However, with no other changes, the presence of the Beronet card seems to wipe out the net5501's on-board NICs. Tried changing the order of the modules in /etc/rc.modules, putting via-rhine (

Re: [Astlinux-users] Low-level wipe of CF card

2009-10-12 Thread Lonnie Abelbeck
Actually, you "should" be fine after the Win 'physdiskwrite' of the geni586 image. This "should" only effect the FAT16 (vfat) partition and leave the remaining partition(s) as they were. But, to be safe, you may want to 'erase' or write 0's to the entire CF card before coping over with the

Don't feel bad. I have had a similar experience in Linux. I boot an HP T5500/5700 series unit with DSL ( Damn Small Linux ) run either fdisk or cfdisk and delete then create the partition, and unless I create an ext2 partition, format it then go back and completely wipe the flash, have had you

I use the Disk Director Suite (under Vista) from Arconis.com. I typically even have problems flashing new CF cards that are pre-formatted with FAT partitions. I use Disk Director to delete all the partitions on the CF prior to flashing. There is probably a way to do this using Windows itself, bu

[Astlinux-users] Low-level wipe of CF card

2009-10-12 Thread Tom Chadwin
Apologies to all for this somewhat OT question. I have a CF card which has had the net5501 image of 0.6.7 on it. I want to start again with the geni586 image. I am having hell's own job wiping the card completely, in Windows. No matter what I do to try to wipe it, when I then use physdiskwrite to p

Thanks again, everyone. Out of interest, what am I missing out on by using the geni586 image in a net5501, rather than its own specific build? Thanks Tom > -Original Message- > From: Lonnie Abelbeck [mailto:li...@lonnie.abelbeck.com] > Sent: 09 October 2009 18:42 > To: AstLinux Users Ma
