Re: [Astlinux-devel] Custom build for ALIX in r8400

[Lonnie A. <li...@lo...>]

Hi Luigi,

Using the latest SVN, the "project/astlinux/geni586/linux-smp.config" has a non-PAE kernel.  RUNNIX 0.4 has a non-PAE kernel.

Though the new 0.5 RUNNIX has a PAE kernel, and that is the problem you are seeing since you created a .img image containing the RUNNIX 0.5 bootloader.

My best advice is to start with 1.2.10 and use the .img for initial installs (extract from the .iso if you need) then upgrade the ".run" image (via upgrade-run-image or System tab) using your latest SVN build.

BTW, I have a net5501 running the latest SVN just fine.

Alternatively, since you are building your own images, without needing to do a clean rebuild ...
--
make runnix-clean
make runnix-dirclean
--

Then in the file "boot/runnix/runnix.mk" change:
--
RUNNIX_VERSION = 0.5-8385
-- to --
RUNNIX_VERSION = 0.4-8057
--

--
make runnix
./scripts/build alix
./scripts/astlinux-makeimage -z 256 256 0
--

You should now have a .img.gz with runnix-0.4-8057 .

Let me know how it goes.

Lonnie
