Hi,

I am trying to use Tiny Core as the OS for a fairly old embedded device using a Pentium 100 with 64MB Ram.

I managed to get the Tiny Core image loaded onto a 128MB CF card. When I turn the box on, it presents me the Grup screen and I can select the bootup option (tinycore). However, soon after I am getting a DMA Timeout Error.
Also in this link: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ble-it-734489/

Now, I am not familiar with Tiny Core all that well, and neither am I sure of how to modify the initramfs to include: hdparm -d0 /dev/hdb.

Please help.

Regards,
Souren



Well good news...I managed to solve it by adding an extra parameter to my kernel execution command in menu.lst. ide-core=nodma! That did the trick. Now to some other challenges...

Well done, and thanks for posting back how you solved it.

agree with that philosophy myself. Besides the joy in solving something on your own is unmatched!!

Cheers mate.
