[Voyage-linux] Newbie Question on hda / Soekris & boot priority

[Michael Grollman]

I am trying to build a voyage 0.2 boot disk for a Soekris 4801 with a PCMCIA
slot.  I am building this on a full x86 PC using a Knoppix boot.  I have a
CF card drive in the full PC set to /dev/hda.  Two issues:  

 

ISSUE 1:  It no boot.  When I make the disk and then move it to the Soekris
4801 to boot it, I get the following:

 

ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14

hdb: max request size: 128KiB

hdb: 1001952 sectors (512 MB) w/1KiB Cache, CHS=994/16/63

hdb: cache flushes not supported

 hdb: hdb1 hdb2 hdb3

mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice

padlock: VIA PadLock not detected.

NET: Registered protocol family 2

TCP established hash table entries: 8192 (order: 3, 32768 bytes)

TCP bind hash table entries: 8192 (order: 3, 32768 bytes)

TCP: Hash tables configured (established 8192 bind 8192)

TCP reno registered

TCP bic registered

NET: Registered protocol family 1

NET: Registered protocol family 10

lo: Disabled Privacy Extensions

IPv6 over IPv4 tunneling driver

NET: Registered protocol family 17

NET: Registered protocol family 15

Using IPI Shortcut mode

VFS: Cannot open root device "301" or unknown-block(3,1)

Please append a correct "root=" boot option

Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on
unknown-block(3,1)

 

The Soekris seems to be seeing this as /dev/hdb, even though in the Soekris
Bios is it set as FLASH=Primary.  Is this an issue with how I am building
the voyage disk, or how I am setting up the Soekris Bios?  Soekris BIOS is
set as follows (1.28):

 

 

comBIOS Monitor.   Press ? for help.

 

> show

 

ConSpeed = 9600

ConLock = Disabled

ConMute = Disabled

BIOSentry = Enabled

PCIROMS = Enabled

PXEBoot = Enabled

FLASH = Primary

BootDelay = 5

FastBoot = Disabled

BootPartition = Disabled

BootDrive = 80 FF FF FF

ShowPCI = Enabled

Reset = Hard

 

 

ISSUE 2:  No config choice on voyage.update menu for a 4801 with a slot card
in it.

 

Explains itself. 

 

Any help is greatly appreciated, as this has been kicking my rear for a
number of days now.  I am sure there is a simple fix short of re-writing all
the scripts till I find the combo that works, and I am just missing it.

 

Thanks,

 

- Michael
