The saga continues. I booted my Kubuntu computer into Puppy Linux and was
able to edit the lilo.conf file on my CF card. I changed it to read-write
and added APCI=off. Neither change helped. Then I tried disconnecting the
Soekris board's internal HD and then the long delays and the lost
interrupt errors went away. Now it boots and if I then do the "remountrw"
command all is well. Next I tried to edit the lilo.conf file in voyage
with nano. Nano wasn't found so I tried vi which I don't know well at all.
I was using gtkterm in Kubuntu which then got all messed up. Other people
have also had that problem I found. Then I tried SSH into the board and
that worked and I could edit with vi. then I tried "apt-get update" to
prepare to install nano to see if I could. That gave we a MergeList error
in /var/lib/apt/lists/security.debian . . . and said the the package list
could not be parsed or opened or some such thing.
Thanks,
Steve

'sync' or a clean reboot makes the changes permanent.

When I tried to shut it down, it stated giving me the same error
while it
was trying to sync the files. At that point I pulled the plug.
Ok Guesses/things I would check
Bad CF
CF slot.
Maybe the IDE mode can be changed
APCI
APM
Interesting. I only have one CF card so I can't try another one. This
one
was working fine in my camera from where I took it. I also don't have
any
way to test the CF slot. I don't see any way to change the IDE mode on
this
board.
So, I thought, OK I can investigate the APCI and APM options. I looked
at
my lilo.conf file and found a line in the image section that said
"read-only." Thinking that that might be the problem, I tried to edit
the
file. Problem is the CF card mounts as read-only on my Kubuntu system. I
can't seem to find a way to edit the file. Got any suggestions? BTW,
there
is no APCI reference either on or off in the current lilo.conf file. I
also
noticed that when voyage is booting, there is a point where it says
"Mounting locale file system" and that indicates that it fails. That is
probably related to the read-only status. I just don't know enough about
this to be able to fix it my self.
Thanks,
Steve
