Hello All, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I'm currently trying to install Gentoo MIPS on an IP30 without |
| 4 |
monitor (and hence no keyboard connected). Connection to the |
| 5 |
Octane is made serially from a laptop running minicom. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
I think, the machine (R12000 @ 400 MHz, 2 GByte RAM) boots the |
| 8 |
ip30-r10k+-20050820.img image file correctly: |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
>> bootp(): root=/dev/ram0 |
| 11 |
Setting $netaddr to 192.168.0.70 (from server ) |
| 12 |
Obtaining from server |
| 13 |
8520560+306368 entry: 0xa800000020799000 |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
but there is no further output; probably there is no getty |
| 16 |
running on the serial port. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Question 1: Is there an image that has serial console enabled? |
| 19 |
Question 2: What is the format of the .img file that is loaded |
| 20 |
via tftp - maybe there's a chance to add an entry for the |
| 21 |
serial port (what is the proper special file here?) in the |
| 22 |
initrd? |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Thanks, Karin |
