similar to: Running on 8G CF card

Hi all, I have 8G -CF cards that I have been putting linux on. Everything was working fine till yesterday when I got a new batch of CF cards. The size has changed. The original CF card was 7637M (255 heads/63 sectors/928 cylinders) The new CF card is 8019M (255 heads/63 sectors/974 cylinders) I would have thought putting the smaller image file onto the larger CF card would be ok. However its

Hi all, under centos 5 x86_64 - I was able to run fdisk to partition a CF card, make the filesystem, copy data to the filesystem, run grub from an x86_64 system to make the CF card bootable with grub. That all worked fine. Now since switching to centos 6 x86_64 I run the exact same script to program the CF card and when I insert that CF card into the end device I get a Grub error 2. I thought

I downloaded DOS6.22 image from putergeek.com. Used fdisk from that floppy and format from that floppy. Still no luck. If I execute fdisk under leaf (monkeynoodle.org) as fdisk/dev/hdc, and give p for print partition table, I get the following: Disk /dev/hdc: 16 heads, 32 sectors, 123 cylinders. Units = cylinders of 512 * 512 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hdc1

Good Morning, I want to update my CF-Microdrive for my router with CentOS (currently there is Slacky on it). I have attached the microdrive to my notebook using a pcmcia CF adapter. Within my CentOS installation the drive is detected correctly as ide_cf and all partitions are shown. But as the installer does not ship the necessary modules for a pcmcia ide installation i am searching for a way to

Hi All, I've read J.R. Richardson's paper "Create an Embedded Asterisk Server" which outlines making a Debian server that boots from a compressed disc image on a CF card. I'm really interested in this as I want my * server to be more like an appliance than a PC. However, the paper is only an outline and some of the processes of pruning the installation down to a minimum are

I want to install centos 4.4 in a CF card and use a ram disk for operations. It means no hard disk attached to the computer. The machine will only run an antispam antivirus gateway. What documents can I read to make /var and /tmp sit on a ram disk and boot the operating system in read write and switch to read only after booting? thanks, --

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello everyone, I been using CF cards for almost more then 7 years now with ext file-system without any major problems on ALIX boards. Last year I took 30 other systems in production with ext4 and the CF cards been dropping out pretty fast, it may have been a bad batch but I do want to look at it. I don't think the devices writes a lot of IO (is

Something else that you might want to do is count the number of journal commits that are taking place, via a command like this: perf stat -e jbd2:jbd2_start_commit -a sleep 3600 This will count the number of jbd2 commits are executed in 3600 seconds --- i.e., an hour. If you are running some workload which is constantly calling fsync(2), that will be forcing journal commits, and those turn into

I've run into a rather odd problem. It seems that I can format and make bootable CF/SD cards and USB Flashdrives under Windows 98SE and MS-DOS 6.22 that will boot to a A: prompt on my system. But when I try making the same CF/SD cards and USB Flashdrives bootable under linux using syslinux I get nothing, not even a error message. It's like the syslinux bootloader doesn't even

I am trying to create a CF card that boots 686 CentOS 6.3 On boot I get a message about /dev/disk/by-label/\x2f where \x2f is "/" cannot be found. Adding rdshell to the boot line and booting up sure enough the /dev/disk directory does not exist. What "creates" that early on in the boot process? My CF card was changed from UUID to LABEL. So I edited grub.conf and make

Hi everybody, It's my first time asking something here. I've a 128 MB Compact Flash and I tried to boot up a Linux mini distro from it. This distro worked previously from a floppy using syslinux, with the tipical initrd booting system. Now I'm trying to boot it from CF, but I can't. By other side I've another distro that boots from pxelinux that I want to make it boot from CF

Hello, Are there any T1/E1 PCMCIA cards available on the market supported by zaptel drivers and asterisk ? I need to make some demos at my clients with asterisk and it's a pain to move around with a midi-tower computer just for that. Thanks, Calin.

Hi all, Is it possible to take the 686 CentOS 5, install that in virtual machine, install a custom kernel that is the 486 flavor, take that image and put it on a 8G CF card - insert that into a small form factor 486 class machine and have that work? I am hoping the extra instructions in a 686 (MMX, SEE etc) are not used by any libraries that I would be using (just standard stuff) and the new

Hi All - I have a box running the above. Power was lost long enough that UPS did not work. When power came back on the C7 box boots way faster than the switch and resulted in no network. power cycling the C7 box resulted in network. This even happened a second time. The only way to get the box back was to power cycle. the box is remote and no keyboard and mouse connected. Any thoughts on why

I am getting the WRONG values reported from fdisk on centos 6.

What are the options to hook a T1 card up to a laptop running * ? Are there USB or PCMCIA T1 cards ? Has anyone tried a USB to PCI adapter as such : http://www.mobl.com/expansion/products/cardbus_expansion/1slot/ It looks nice but cost 1k how about the linux drivers ? the goal is to have a portable demo system thanks - Arnaud

Hi all, I have been trying to get a usb stick 8G to boot centos. I am as far a it boots and hangs at "Switching to new root". I take the same USB stick and put it another PC and it boots fine. What might I look for as to why the machine hangs at switching to new root? Of course the machines are different. The one that does not boot is an ebox 2300sx and the one that does boot is an
