Hi,
1) Configure your system using make menuconfig.
Be sure to select
Target System (x86) --->
Subtarget (Generic) --->
Target Profile (PCEngines Alix) --->
2) Save and exit the configuration and compile using make.
3) If build is successful, you should have OpenWrt images in trunk/bin/x86.
4) Transfer your image to your CF card by using dd.
root@host:~# dd if=trunk/bin/x86openwrt-x86-generic-rootfs-squashfs.img
of=/dev/sdX
Where sdX is your CF card.
5) Place CF card in ALIX and hope it boots. :-)
Best of luck,
Jon

Hi All,
I am new to OpenWrt stuff. My first work is to install
OpenWRT on wireless nodes which belong to (X86, ALIX) family. These
wireless nodes requires initrd.img and vmlinz to get the kernel up.
But the problem is that i am not able to make proper initrd.img with the
openwrt software.
I added some options in .config via menuconfig according to my wireless node and ran
"make" command of
openwrt software with this .config. Now after running make, I
found cpio.gz and vmlinz file in backfire/bin/x86/ folder
I named this cpio.gz as initrd.img,
now
I tried to test these images with vmware and PXE set up. But it is
giving me error that VFS: Cannot open root device "<NULL>" or
unknown-block(8,1).
Can anyone please suggest me that how to proceed now? I am interested to up
openwrt kernel
with the initrd.img and vmlinuz files on X86, Alix wireless node.
Many thanks in advance for reply.
Thanks& Regards,
Sachin
