Ah i'm not sure but i know i can get my ls pro v2 to tftp boot if it thinks the kernel is bad. I know this from experience ^^ .
Also if any one has an ls pro v2 and something seems to make it slow down after more than a few hours (like for example time uptime 18:30:27 up 4 days, 23:21, 2 users, load average: 0.09, 0.18, 0.16 real 0m1.631s user 0m0.270s sys 0m1.360s ) -> where it should / does only less than real 0m0.6 or so.... When i go strace uptime i have to manually kill it .... vs on my desktop where i don't..... this is using a 2.6.26 kernel -> perhaps my configuration is wrong... 2009/1/25 Tim Small <t...@buttersideup.com> > Martin Michlmayr wrote: > > It seems the way you'd install Debian would be to: >> >> - update the firmware to 1.10 >> - run a script provided by Debian that removes the initrd= parameter >> from the u-boot config, and then puts the debian-installer kernel >> and ramdisk on disk. >> - reboot, run the installer >> >> > > Sounds good. > > flash-kernel already has support for the LS (and I think it was tested >> by you); we'd only need to add oldsys-preseed support. >> >> Anything else I missed?
