voyage-0.6.5-amd64: All going well
Mon, 2010-03-15 03:54Hi Punky Just wanted to thankyou again for create the amd64 bit version of voyage. Just build a 5th version of my linux-vserver system. The 0.6.5 version is much cleaner now that aufs is not needed, very happy. Cheers Mike
/etc/nologin
Thu, 2010-03-11 06:39I'm a newbie to voyage. I noticed the remount - remove nologin - remount sequence during boot, which seems less than ideal, in terms of reducing writes to flash. I had a look, and see that /etc/nologin is already a symlink, but to another part of the root filesystem (/var/lib/initscripts/nologin), so still ro by default. Is there a reason it couldn't be moved to /var/run/nologin? I guess that would mean something (mountkernfs.sh?) would have to create it early in the boot process, so it can be removed later, but then the remount bits could be moved inside the voyage.1st section of /etc/init.d/voyage-util.

Soekris Net4501 and Voyage 0.6.5
Sun, 2010-03-07 07:12Hi all, I don't know if anyone else out there is interested, but with the latest Voyage release (Voyage 0.6.5), you'll need to append "all_generic_ide" to the grub kernel parameters for Soekris Net4501 devices to be able to detect the root fs. You can deal to this problem in two ways: 1. Edit /boot/grub/menu.lst Append the extra text (as above) to the kernel line, and save the file. This is a permanent fix. 2. Tell grub about it at boot time (via the console) Append the extra text to the kernel line by hitting escape when grub comes up, and then 'e' to edit the line. This is a temporary fix. Cheers, Ferry Hendrikx

2.6.30-486-voyage aufs modules
Fri, 2010-03-05 00:16Hi Punky Do you still have the kernel sources for 2.6.30-486-voyage and or aufs-modules-2.6.30-486-voyage this kernel was in the Voyage experimental repo late last year? The reason I ask is that I had to upgrade the kernel on Voyage-0.6.1 on several boxes however I have only just realised that I did not install the aufs modules so the read-only magic is not working. I can upgrade the kernel again to 2.6.30-voyage with the aufs modules but these boxes are out in the field so I hoping I could grab the kernel headers or source and build them myself as this would save the remote kernel upgrade worry. If you do have the sources and or modules can you provide a link to them please? I can only see aufs-modules-2.6.30-voyage and aufs-modules-2.6.26-486-voyage in the repo's Thanks Wayne
Voyage linux ath5k driver support?,full power for SR5?
Thu, 2010-03-04 03:34Hello Does newer version of voyage linux include use of ath5k driver with hostapd/wpa_supplicant? I have nothing found in the changelog. Has anybody running ath5k driver running on voyage with hostapd/wpa_supplicant and wpa2? I still stuck with the txpower limit of 17dbm in 5.8GHz with madwifi :-( Or does anybody have experience with "open-madwifi" source patching to use full 26dbm SR5 power? Greetings and thanks Beat

initrd.img
Mon, 2010-03-01 19:50We are using the voyage linux distribution and like it very much :) Since we have special reuirements for the the kernel (e.g., RTAI) we want to compile our own kernel. So we did the following: - Install voyage Linux on a Flash Disk (We use a Soekris board as a target) - Compile a new (patched) kernel - Copy the kernel to the /boot directory (on the flash disk) - Add a new grub entry in the menu.lst file - Copy the kernel modules to /lib/modules directory (on the flash disk) Result: * the kernel modules could not be loaded (the directory /lib/modules/new-kernel-version was not accessible even though it exisited on the flash card). * We have not generated a new initrd.img and we think that this might be the problem * Do we have to generate a new initrd.img that includes our new directory for the kernel modules? * How can we do this? * Why is a initrd.img required anyway? Thank you very much for helping us.

Bridging Wired and Wireless
Fri, 2010-02-26 00:59So far voyage-0.6.5 is working great on my ATOM 330 based board. Slowly converting this device into a wireless router. Thanks to Punky's blog I now have the built-in wireless converted to an access point with the ath9k driver and hostapd. I just added a Netgear FA120 USB Ethernet and eth1 popped up immediately (I think it loaded the asix module). Now I want to bridge wlan0 with eth1 to create the LAN side of this device (with a static IP and dhcp server for wired & wireless clients) and use eth0 as the WAN side of the device (with dhcp client to pull leases from the ISP). I created the bridge in /etc/network/interfaces but now when I try to associate with wlan0 it fails to authenticate the WPA key (yes I'm typing it correctly). If I remove the bridge from /etc/network/interfaces, I can associate again. I must have something wrong in the config. ---[SNIP]--- voyage:~# cat /etc/network/interfaces auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp auto eth1 iface eth1 inet manual auto wlan0
Clock Drift
Thu, 2010-02-25 16:26Hello Guys, I've got some pretty serious clock drift on all the ALIX 3d2 which we've got. Seems that after even just a short period of running the time on the systems is quite out of sync with the real time. Is this a common issue? We've had it for a long time but I've only recently sat down and tried to find a solution to the problem. Is this hardware related? or something software related? Appreciate any advice you can offer.
