Re: [cobalt-developers] Success!!



what about the interface? the web based administration? did it stay intact?

this sounds pretty neat. you can also put NetBSD on MIPS based cobalt products, which is cool, however it's only the MIPS products... all of my cobalt devices are
intel based :(

On my Qube 3, I now have running:

Thanks very much to Tim Hockin and Alan Cox.

I plan on writing up a document describing the whole process.

The last hurdle with init not running was because the "Red Hat 7.1" image I used had been created on a Pentium II box. The Red Hat installer picked
(as it should) the i686 glibc RPM.

Now, when I "downgraded" to the i386 glibc RPM, it STILL wouldn't work.
This is what threw me for a loop.

I fixed that by putting the hard drive from the Qube 3 in a Pentium III
box, mounting the root filesystem and chrooting to it.   When I ran "ldd
/sbin/init", even though I had the "i386" glibc RPM installed, it was
still linking against "/lib/i686/libc.so".  I move /lib/i686 to
/lib/i686-bad, and ran ldconfig.  Then ldd reported init (and all other
binaries) linking against "/lib/libc.so".  I put the drive back into the
Qube3, and it booted up fine.
