I have written a short docu in my > wiki (booting with tftp and rootnfs over NFS): > http://wiki.idefix.fechner.net/index.php/IceCube#Writing_kernel_modules_for_2.6 this is a very nice page, it is now my reference :) anyway i cannot say i made it, my icecube is still not under control. every time i boot the 2.6 kernel after the original 2.4 one, the nic seems to work. on subsequent boots, even after board resets, it does not. i still need to check what happens removing the power cord. kernel is built following the instructions on your wiki, i attached the config file. please have a look, let me know if any check/test may be advised. cheers domenico -----[ Domenico Andreoli, aka cavok --[ http://people.debian.org/~cavok/gpgkey.asc ---[ 3A0F 2F80 F79C 678A 8936 4FEE 0677 9033 A20E BC50 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
