Hello everbody,
I'm still keen on getting my NAS booting from the hdd.
Currently, there are some problems to solve. The kernel command line is
hard-coded during its compilation and is not changeable. Unfortunately
"root=/dev/ram0" skips /linuxrc in the initrd-image and treats this image as
the real root partition and executes /sbin/init. So exchanging the initrd-image
with one, that just replaces the root-partion with /dev/hda2 and executing
/sbin/init from /dev/hda2 would not work.
I thought of mounting the hdd and soft-linking everything onto the ramdisk as
Knoppix does, but this is not flexible enough for me.
So the only way would be recompiling the kernel. Raidsonic has only published
the 2.4 sources which includes the patches needed for the sl2312 platform.
Has anyone beeing succesful with compiling those kernel sources? Or, let me
pose the question with other words: how did one enable the usb support in the
kernel located at http://nas-2000.org/download/kernel/ (which is indeed a 2.6
kernel)?
with best regards,
Felix
