netbooting indy - update, elf2ecoff?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Thank you very much for your help so far!  Here's an update and another
question:

Updates:
1.  Had to attach a console (we have XZ graphics not XL)
2.  An ecoff kernel image downloaded fine.  The ELF ones download halfway
and fail silently (even with the console attached)

Question: As the vmlinux-indy-2.2.1-990226.ecoff kernel begins the boot
sequence, it hangs at "unable to open initial console."  I had unpacked
the filesystem on linux as the FAQ suggests, and my device files look
right.  So, on the NFS server, I symlinked /dev/console to /dev/ttyS0.
Now the message is replaced with a cryptic: "S<<<<<"

Perhaps that kernel doesn't have console support?  Is there any other
explanation for the "S<<<<<" failure where I used to see "...initial
console?"

I'd like to try a different kernel but I can't find an elf2ecoff binary.
Does anyone have this converted or a known-good ecoff kernel?

Ken
