[Voyage-linux] livecd on soekris 4826

[Jason Chan]

I just tried to install over soekris 4826 with solded CF using newly
released live CD. It went smoothly until it tried to copy files to CF, after
the warning message. The copying process started and then the screen went
messy with following messages:

INIT: Id "T0" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
b44: eth0: Link is down
b44: eth0: Link is up at 100Mbps, full duplex
b44: eth0: Flow control is off for TX and off for RX

I did started with # /etc/init.d/voyage-pxe start 19200 and chose menu
option 3.

I noticed the output targeted system was soekris 4511/4521, and the target
baud rate is 38400

Then I restarted both minicom and soekris, but minicom won't show anything.

I thought I have bricked the box and went back to Ubuntu, where minicom
worked and it seems that soekris booting process is frozen immediately after
boot. So I have to go through another pxeboot process under Ubuntu to
reflash soekris with metrix. Now I again can see serial console using
minicom under live cd.

Then I tried to install manually, choosing menu option 1, but after I
reformatted the CF before getting to voyate.update, the screen went crazy
again and I back to previous state (minicom stops working  under live cd).

Now I am stuck ... can someone help? Is there a way I can pxe install under
my host environment (ubuntu) instead of using live cd? Do you have
appropriate images for that?

Thanks,
Jason
