Revision as of 20:13, 25 July 2010
Bifferboard doesn't have working serial, so we need a distro that boots without asking.
Tried http://blog.famzah.net/category/bifferboard/ This can be done on Babbage (it has an autosensing ethernet card):
sudo ./bb_eth_upload.py eth0 00:b3:f6:00:35:c7 ../vmlinuz-2.6.30.5-bifferboard-ipipe
And everything else from there. Wouldn't boot:
VFS: Cannot open root device "<NULL>" or unknown-block(0,0) Please append a correct "root=" boot option; here are the available partitions: Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
Ditto for http://www.sunspot.co.uk/Projects/Bifferboard/Debian_distro.html:

Final result: Slackware works perfectly, without any trouble. Debian, does not. At all.
Not that any of this matters, as ms7821 fried the thing...
