| |
I'm trying to load linux on a Wyse WT3730LE. Normally these things run Wince or Embedded NT, but I'm trying to subvert it to run linux.
I'm using a linux box running ISC DHCPd and atftpd as the DHCP and TFTP servers. After making the servers listen on the correct ports (10067 and 10069), and tagging the boot images with mknbi-linux, I can get the winterm to download the boot images. However, it halts after saying 'Upload Successful [4002](01)' and does nothing more.
these boxes supposedly have a NatSemi Geode processor; possibly 166MHz. I can't remove the mobo from it's cage (the processor, video and ethernet chips are on the underside), so I can't see for certain what those chips are.
since as far as I know, a NatSemi Geode processor is x86 compatible, I was thinking that it should be able to boot fine. (or at least start booting linux, enought to kernel panic).
I also tried loading Etherboot (etherboot.sourceforge.net) images, and those wouldn't operate either.
We also tried putting a linux kernel on the CF disk that came with it, and found that we couldn't read the Wyse CF disk with a USB CF reader. Nor would the winterm boot with an ordinary CF disk that had a linux kernel on it.
are these winterms not fully x86 compatible? is there something else that must be done to boot linux on them?
