Hello. I've installed OpenBSD 4.2 on a 512M CF for use with the alix2c2.
The system boots with problems (but works fine so far) when the CF is
hooked up in my desktop with an IDE adapter. The error message I get is
in the dmesg below.
But the OS won't even boot in the alix board. And there's nothing in
var/log/messages. A null modem cable is on order for me, so I have no
info yet through minicom. The alix board is straight out of the box -
with whichever bios PC Engines had on it when it was shipped out a week
ago.
The lack of anything in /var/log/messages is what tells me the system
isn't booting. Also I can ping neither vr0 nor vr1 on the alix. With the
same card booted on the desktop I can see the network fine.
The packages installed on the card (all loaded into /) are bsd,
base42.tgz, etc42.tgz and man42.tgz only.
Again, the dmesg below is from the successful boot of the CF card in a
desktop machine.
Any suggestions on what the problem is, and possibly a resolution? I've
scanned these archives and looked through about a dozen sites on how to
install OpenBSD on a CF for Wrap and Soekris. One possible reason I've
found is that the CF card may need to be UDMA. It isn't, and the alix
documentation only mentions DMA.
In the meantime, has anyone had better luck using flashdist as a means of
installing?
Here's the dmesg:
