Re: [ts-7000] load kernel from cf

["J. Langley" <>]

Here are my notes from getting a TS-7200 to boot from CF card using a 2.6 kernel located at /boot/vmlinux on the CF card:

"I was able to get this loaded into the CF card and boot into the board with the command:
load -b 0x00218000 -m disk hda1:/boot/vmlinux

This was after I reformatted the ext2 partition with an inode size of 128.  Did this with the command: mkfs.ext2 -I 128 /dev/sdb1
The kernel would not load from an ext2 partition with an inode size of 256 (default size without specifying otherwise)."

Not sure if that helps.  I haven't touched it since I got it working about a year ago.

NO! It is your safety net!

How did you set up the CFdisk?

The CFdisk is partitioned and the first (maybe only) partition is
formatted with an ext2 File system?

If you boot from the flash, can you mount the cfdisk?

Can you cut and paste the output from the console, and the messages when it
fails to load the kernel?
