Did you upgrade from 1.0 to 2.0 directly in the GUI? This is not supported and I need to write it in red letters somewhere on the website.

hallo and thanks for your answer.

-First time i have direct upgraded in GUI from 1.0 to 2.0

-And now i have from your FTP ( http://downloads.askozia.com/pbx/releases/ )
 this Image's  ( "askozia-pbx-embedded-x86-i486-uclibc-2.0.rc1.img" or "askozia-pbx-generic-pc-x86-i486-uclibc-2.0.rc1.img" )
 with ( "physdiskwrite 0.5."2 ) direct to my "CF"( 128 MB ) installed

it does not working   

My Hardware:
AMD Geode GX1-300 ( GENE-4312 Serie )

The IDE drivers are not available, Askozia did not find my CF card at boot.

...hallo Michael, du you speak german ?

The upcoming RC2 has greatly expanded hardware support. Try this image:
 - http://downloads.askozia.com/pbx/snapshots/r1395/askozia-pbx-embedded-x86-i486-uclibc-r1395.img

It is the latest image to be released and closely resembles RC2.

...hallo Michael, du you speak german ?

Ja...muss mann nach fast 6 Jahre in Deutschland. Zu das Schreiben kann ich aber nur "Deutsche Sprache schwere Sprache" sagen.

Hallo Michael,

Danke für deine schnelle Antwort.

ja die "Deutsche Sprache ist schwere Sprache"  für mich auch.
Das ist meine zweite Sprache aber für mich immerhin einfacher als englisch   

Ich werde sofort dein vorgeschlagener Image herunterladen und ausprobieren.

Danach melde ich mich wieder.

Nochmals danke.

...bin immer noch am kämpfen.  

Image drauf auf CF und in board als "Sec. Master Disc" ( CHS, Mode4, 128 MB )

Danach kommt folgendes:

GRUB  Loading  stage2..

Decompressing Linux..  Parsing ELF... done

Booting  the  kernel.


und  das wars, es passiert nichts mehr.  


Die Image: askozia-pbx-generic-pc-x86-i486-uclibc-r1395.img , funktioniert aber es ist leider nicht
"embedded"  Version.


Was kann ich noch probieren?  Ist es moglich die "generic" version auf "embedded" zu schalten ?

Bitte um Hilfe.  DAnke..



PS.   bei : askozia-pbx-embedded-x86-i486-uclibc-r1390.img  habe ich das selbe Problem.
       es liegt meiner Meinung irgendwie am "embedded" relase ?

Hi,

I'm having the same issue that 'nagard' has pointed out; namely the boot process stalls at "Booting the kernel.".

I've read elsewhere on the intertubes that this could be a bios issue in ALIX1 boards, so I updated to the latest bios but no luck.

There doesn't appear to be anything wrong with the hardware as I could run Askozia 1.x fine but 2.x is a problem.

I'm now lost as to where to go from here, if anyone could point me in a new direction that would be great.

My setup-
hardware: ALIX1 board, SanDisk 128MB CF, OpenVox A400P pci card
software: embedded Askozia 2.0.2 and 2.0.3 don't seem to work (haven't tried earlier builds)
installation: dd on OSX directly to CF card

Many Thanks for any help.

May be a stupid question but... sure you are using the right console for embedded?
Using the embedded image this is the exact time that output goes to serial port, disappearing from the vga.

Thank you Giovanni.v, that is exactly what it was.

For anyone else having this trouble using an ALIX board and running OSX on their desktop here is what I did.

• 1/ Brought a USB-to-Serial cable (model UC-232A) and a null modem cable (not a straight through serial cable)
• 2/ Installed USB drivers for the USB device
• 3/ Plugged USB-to-Serial from the MAC into the null modem cable then plugged the null modem cable into the Askozia box
• 4/ Powered on Askozia box
• 5/ Followed the advice on http://www.tigoe.net/pcomp/resources/archives/avr/000749.shtml (ALIX boards run at a datarate of 38400)
• 6/ Hit enter and boom I'm looking at the Askozia console screen
• 7/ Configured the LAN IP and then hit up the IP address in the browser

If your using windows use hyperterminal and set "bits per second" to "38400" and "flow control" to "None" leave everything else as is. You need to hit enter to get the console screen up.

I hope this helps others.

Thanks again Giovanni.v
