Hi, |
2 |
I'm trying to get Linux running on a x86 embedded-system (Panel PC |
3 |
"Atlas"). The os should be loaded from a CF-Card (CF-Card reader is |
4 |
onboard and bootable). My current problem with it is that I don't know |
5 |
how to get a bootloader installed on a CF-Card. |
6 |
I have a Gentoo-Box (Toshiba Laptop) compiled for i386. The CF-Card is |
7 |
connected via USB. When ever I install a bootloader on the CF-Card a |
8 |
Dell laptop is able to boot from it but the embedded system doesn't do |
9 |
it. It seems to be the problem that the two BIOS differ to much from |
10 |
each other. |
11 |
How can I install a bootloader that works on other hardware (with |
12 |
different BIOS)? |
13 |
|
14 |
Someone told me to build a very small kernel and put that into the |
15 |
master boot record (must be smaller than 446 bytes). How can I do this? |
16 |
I have deactivated nearly all features, compiled everything as module |
17 |
that could be build as module but the kernel size is 627k !?! |
