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 2250, 2237, 2514
Greetings, I checked into the Alaska Morning Net today and was surprised to see the owner (Dave Cloyd, KL7M) praising AllStar's audio quality and recommending it over EchoLink. Several folks connected up to node 27372 (Alaskan Reflector Bridge, K8KHW), which I was also conencted to. So, the Alaskan Reflector now has bridges from both EchoLink and AllStarLink, as well as the native IRLP (Reflector 9070). The EchoLink bridge is node 1654 (KL7M). I just thought everyone who might not already know would like to know about this development. 8-Dale -- Open your mind, Read, Learn, Think, Apply. AllStarLink Node 2392 / EchoLink node 6185 / 73, from N7PKT! http://www.hybotics.com - NEW main site Just because we can, does it follow that we should?
How is the reflector tied into AllStar? Jim, K6JWN On Tue, Nov 16, 2010 at 4:40 PM, Dale Weber <n7pkt@hybotics.org> wrote:

I believe that Limey only supports a couple of motherboards. Check www.limeylinux.org to see if your motherboard is supported. Jim, K6JWN On Tue, Nov 16, 2010 at 3:23 PM, Matt Beasant <matt.g4rky@gmail.com> wrote:
