HI all,<div><br></div><div>I have been fortunate enough to have been given a number of industrial embedded rackmount PC systems - </div><div><br></div><div><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><a href="http://www.ekf.de/c/ccpu/cc9/cc9_e.html">http://www.ekf.de/c/ccpu/cc9/cc9_e.html</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>I would really like to turn them into Allstar nodes  and deploy them around the Country but I am running into a problem.</div><div><br></div><div>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 )</div>
<div><br></div><div>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.</div><div><br></div><div>However, every time the system boots, it gets as far as a line saying &quot; Freeing unused kernel memory: 292k freed&quot; and then freezes!</div>
<div><br></div><div>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?</div><div><br></div>
<div>Has anyone else had this problem with the boot sequence freezing? I am sure I have probably done something wrong!</div><div><br></div><div>I used a Ubuntu system to create the CF card from the image using dd from a terminal screen.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Is there another way I can build Asterisk / app_rpt on to the existing CF card with Debian on it?</div><div><br></div><div>I have been playing with this for weeks now and I&#39;ve made no progress - any help would be really gratefully received :-)</div>
<div><br></div><div>Many thanks,</div><div><br></div><div>Kind regards,</div><div><br></div><div>Matt, G4RKY</div><div>2250, 2237, 2514</div>
