Hi Saverio, Thank you for your reply. But the problem is that we do not load software through programming via flash disk. We load the built through netboot. So, I require proper initrd.img and vmlinuz file to boot through netboot.
Is this possible to built proper initrd.img and vmlinuz from openwrt software so that it can be loaded in X86, Alix wireless node, Thank You!Sachin Sharma --- On Tue, 22/3/11, ZioPRoTo (Saverio Proto) <[email protected]> wrote: From: ZioPRoTo (Saverio Proto) <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [OpenWrt-Users] Installation of OpenWRT on X86, Alix wireless node To: "OpenWrt User List" <[email protected]> Cc: "sachin sharma" <[email protected]> Date: Tuesday, 22 March, 2011, 10:47 PM Just unzip this file: http://downloads.openwrt.org/backfire/10.03.1-rc4/x86/openwrt-x86-generic-combined-ext2.img.gz and then attach the compact flash of the Alix with your computer using a standard compact flash reader, and flash it this way: dd if=openwrt-x86-generic-combined-ext2.img of=/dev/COMPACTFLASH bs=512 (must be root, make sure you flash into the correct device to do not damage your system) regards Saverio 2011/3/21 sachin sharma <[email protected]> > > Hi All, > > I am new to OpenWrt stuff.
