Hi all,
I am trying to bring up a small WinCE based terminal with LinuxBios instead. I'm using the eaglelion/5bcm as a starting point. With this the system comes up, starts etherboot, etherboot loads my Linux kernel (up to text "....done") and then nothing more happens.
Some things confuses me:
.... Devices initialized Copying IRQ routing tables to 0xf0000...done. Verifing copy of IRQ routing tables at 0xf0000...failed Wrote linuxbios table at: 00000000 - 0000017c checksum 2df2 ....
I read in the archives that this failure could be solved be undefining CONFIG_COMPRESS. But it did'nt help. Any other hint to solve it?
When etherboot starts:
..... Etherboot 5.4.2 (GPL) http://etherboot.org Drivers: RTL8139 Images: ELF Protocols: DHCP TFTP Relocating _text from: [000100e0,000219a0) to [03aee740,03b00000) Boot from (N)etwork or (Q)uit?
Probing pci nic... [rtl8139] - ioaddr 0X1000, irq 0, addr 00:30:AA:00:25:1B 100Mbps full-duplex Searching for server (DHCP)..... Me: 192.168.1.5, DHCP: 192.168.1.2, TFTP: 192.168.1.2, Gateway 192.168.1.2 Loading 192.168.1.2:i586Linux ..(ELF).. ....done
Is "irq 0" correct at this point of time?
Does LinuxBIOS needs any preparations/patches on the Linux kernel to boot and run it? I tried with enabled framebuffer console (and activated screen in the Geode) and with console on serial port. Both without success (also I tried 2.4 and 2.6 kernels).
Thanks for any help in advance.
