[leaf-user] RE: [leaf-wisp] new WISP-Dist available
Vladimir, Sam Leffler (author of the linux driver for the atheros) mentioned to me today that it is unstable, though, he has not detailed why this is the case. Furthermore, it is not clear whether the problem lies within the binary portion or source portion of the driver, or within the firmware. At any event, you are likely right in suggesting that it is too early to use Atheros in production mode.

[leaf-user] RE: [leaf-wisp] new WISP-Dist available
Vladimir, What steps would be required to convert the latest wisp distribution to work properly on a IDE hard disk? For example, what would one have to do to ensure that the partition table wont get all screwed up. Presumably it requires an install via the packages you have made available, rather than doing the lazy dd operation, right? Also, what would be required to have the bootup script detect that the local disk is an IDE drive, and therefore instead copy all of the LRP and CFS files to some place on the harddrive rather than building it all up within RAM?

[leaf-user] help: getting PPPOE to work on wisp-dist
I tried getting PPPOE to work on wisp-dist, but since I am rather new to this I couldn't figure out why it didn't work. Unfortunately, wisp-dist does not have the GUI interface support so that newbies like me can just follow some instructions to set things up correctly. So I followed the bering PPPOE instructions and edited the /etc/ppp/peers/dsl-provider and /etc/ppp/pap-secrets file by hand. I also made sure that the various PPPOE related modules in /etc/modules were uncommented. At this point, I was under the impression that a simple reboot would kick start the ppp0 device connected via eth0 to my DSL modem. It seems that wisp-dist does not generate a syslog file, and so I cannot peek there to find out why it is not working. Any hints on what I should do next?

[leaf-user] nftla or hda with SDTE-64 DoC ?
Has anyone gotten wisp-dist to work on a SanDisk SDTE-64 DoC? It seems that my SanDisk SDTE-64 is not recognized by the doc2000/docprobe modules. This is so infuriating, because I can boot from the SDTE-64 drive. Moreover, I can boot the standard debian rescue/root floppies, mount the SDTE-64 as /dev/hda1 and copy files over to it, etc. The difference being that the debian kernel is 2.2.20, whereas wisp-dist is using Why can't I then simply use /dev/hda1? Looking at the console messages, the ide module recognizes the SDTE-64 as hda: SanDisk SDTE-64, ATA DISK drive ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14 So, I am guessing that I should change my syslinux.cfg file back to us /dev/hda1 rather than /dev/nftla1. However, if anyone else has gotten this to work, I'd love to hear from them. Or, from any other kind sole who might have some feedback.

[leaf-user] bering IDE driver problem
I followed the instructions to put the IDE drivers into initrd.lrp of the bering floppy. Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to work with my disk-on-chip IDE drive (even though this drive can be accessed just fine via a linux rescue floppy). In the dmesg information shown below there are two lines stating detected chipset, but driver not compiled in!. However, when checking with insmod, the ide-disk.o, ide-mod.o, and ide-probe-mod.o files have all been loaded. These modules are listed in the boot modules files, so they should have been insmod'ed in before the kernel does these tests. Any way, can someone shed light onto what might be going on or wrong here?

RE: [leaf-user] syslinux question: putting bering on a diskonchip
I am using a linux rescue disk to copy over a bering distribution to the disk-on-chip device. Both the fdisk utility and syslinux seem to recognize /dev/hda1 as the IDE drive. Any way, I'll try to create a bering disk for which I have incorporated the ide drivers into initrd.lrp. I didn't do that yet, as I would have to remove some other package on the bering floppy in order for the larger initrd.lrp package to fit. Maybe by following the instructions more faithfully it'll work out. However, I am concerned that syslinux (version 2.04) keeps stating something about /tmp. -Original Message- From: John Mullan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 03, 2003 10:10 AM To: Marc E.

[leaf-user] syslinux question: putting bering on a diskonchip
Hi, I've been following the instructions from the user manual for putting berind on a IDE drive. My IDE drive is a 64MB SanDisk diskonchip module. When I execute the syslinux /dev/hda1 (or syslinux -s /dev/hda1) command I always get a warning message about something with permissions being possibly set wrong for /tmp. When I attempt to boot the system with the IDE drive, it says it is missing the operating system. The linux kernel file is there, so I assume this is a syslinux issue. After mounting /dev/hda1 I don't see the ldlinux.sys file, and I am not even sure this should be there. Any pointers in the right direction would be appreciated.
