On my Qube 3, I now have running:
Red Hat 7.1
kernel 2.4.4ac6+cobaltpatches
Reiserfs for /
Cisco Aironet 350 802.11b PCI card (required a patch to the 2.4 kernel)
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.
