please tell us what options you have to work with there, if you're unable to get to a prompt in crux, sounds like tinkering with bios settings may be your only option. on another note, i have pentium 3 boards running from CF cards on crux 2.8 ( i believe). maybe try that version instead?

on that CF card?
I haven't even gotten to that point. The installation fails before I get to a prompt to format the drive.

Hi,
I'm trying to install CRUX 2.7.1 on a Pentium 3 single board computer with 512 MB of RAM. The data sheet for the SBC is here:
https://www.surplussales.com/computeraccess/pdf/eqp-vmivme-7648-740.pdf.
I'm booting from a CD ROM and after I get to the "boot: " prompt and hit enter everything goes OK until I get to:
* Copying files from squashfs
at which point everything goes haywire. Sometimes I get "cp: read error" messages, sometimes it segfaults, but I've never been able to get past this point.
I should mention that the only hard drive on the machine is an 8 GB compact flash card, I don't know if that's relevant.
Any ideas on whether I might be able to get this to work or not?
Thanks,
Tony _______________________________________________ CRUX mailing list CRUX@lists.crux.nu https://lists.crux.nu/mailman/listinfo/crux
