(Slapping my head, a Homer Simpson style, "Doh") Thanks super, Jason. I got
it to work with
sudo mkfs -t ext2 -v /dev/sdc
>From the ubuntu box, I then issued
sudo tar -jxvf debian-sarge-256MB-05-01-2006.tar.bz2 -C /media/disk
as per the README in the distribution that came with the dev kit CD, and the
filesystem was written to the CF.
But when I replace the (working) CF (from the dev kit) with the new CF and turn
on the 7200, I get
...
VFS: Cannot open root device "hda1" or 03:01
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:01
Can you tell me how to "append a correct "root=" boot option? Are there other
things I need to do to prepare this CF? What are the steps I need to do to
boot to the CF in the way that you describe?
Many, many TIA,
Craig
