Abel, In have the same issue when I have burned the image to an 800MB CF Disk. All it displays is GRUB CLI in a continuous stream.

CF I downloaded teh Asterisk live CF distribution (http://www.automated.it/ asterisk/asterisk-cf.htm) and I cannot make it work. I suspect the problem is the distro is a binary image to be burned in a 64 MB CF while I am trying to burn it in a 256 MB CF. Does anybody know haw to burn a working 256 MB CF? BTW the symptom is: the word GRUB is displayed and nothing else happens when trying to boot up. TIA for your help. abel _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users -------------------------------------------------------- NOTICE: If received in error, please destroy and notify sender.

My theory is that the 64 MB image is built with a specific hdd form factor and when burning onto a different size CF it is mapped differently and it does not work. On the other hand, you always can find out how the device is beeing seen by the system and customize the binary image accordingly. Other software prepared to be run from CF (I recall WISP, the LEAF branch for wireless routers) have a final step which takes the software already compiled and 'packages' it to build the disk image. I would be extremely happy if I could download the code tree and run that final step by myself to get the disk image that suits my needs. Second best would be to get the source tree and compile all the stuff to get that point. Is that possible? Is the code available in the way I need for this operation? TIA.

Kristian, I am talking about your distro, that does not seem to be able to boot when I have mounted (if that is the right word) the CF into my Dell Server and tried to boot from it as the only IDE drive available. The Linux just does not kick in. If you want to debug this I can Fedex to you, my 800MB CF disk with your distro on it, you for your R&D.

Abel, I am working on Intel boards only. I have tried VIA boards and I do not recommend anyone to work on VIA boards for a production system. The reasons for this being that there are just way too many issues with these boards, gcc being just one of them. The main issue is Interrupt Conflicts and incompatibility for many accessories. The link below has more information on these problems: http://pcbuyersguide.com/hardware/motherboards/VIA-Problems.html A few more snippets are here http://www.georgebreese.com/net/software/ Kris probably will answer your other question.

CF Seshu, Are you working on a VIA based motherboard? I am working on a VIA based motherboard. Andy Powell (author of Asterisk Live! distro) tells me that VIA is not quite good when emulating i686 behavoir and since his distro is compiled for i686... We are trying to confirm that but may be interesting to know about your setup and how is Kristian's distro compiled.

No? so why bring up 4 years old problems for not using a certain motherboard manufacturer. There have been lots of improvements since then and I dare say most if not all the problems listed above do not affect the systems which are currently in manufacture. B
