[App_rpt-users] Limey Linux question

[Matt Beasant]

HI all,

I have been fortunate enough to have been given a number of industrial
embedded rackmount PC systems -

http://www.ekf.de/c/ccpu/cc9/cc9_e.html

I would really like to turn them into Allstar nodes  and deploy them around
the Country but I am running into a problem.

The PCs have 1Gb of RAM and a 1.4GHz Intel Pentium M processor and a compact
flash card for HDD. ( only one of them has an add on board with an IDE port,
so I connected my spare node drive and it came up and worked treat so I know
the hardware is Allstar compatible )

I am trying to build a Limey Linux based node and I followed the
instructions on the web page to make a CF card from the image.

However, every time the system boots, it gets as far as a line saying "
Freeing unused kernel memory: 292k freed" and then freezes!

These systems used to run a version of Debian Linux and I have managed to
gain root access to one of them but am I right in guessing that this Linux
build will be no good for Allstar?

Has anyone else had this problem with the boot sequence freezing? I am sure
I have probably done something wrong!

I used a Ubuntu system to create the CF card from the image using dd from a
terminal screen.

Is there another way I can build Asterisk / app_rpt on to the existing CF
card with Debian on it?

I have been playing with this for weeks now and I've made no progress - any
help would be really gratefully received :-)

Many thanks,

Kind regards,

Matt, G4RKY
