Wyse S30 Winterm Problem

[dmtc1]

Hi, I am trying to install microcore on my Wyse S30 Winterm.  My problem is that tinycore will not see the internal ATA flash drive.  The controller appears to be CS5535 IDE.  Below is the summary of dmesg , lsmod .  I have also attached the full specs of the box as well as the full dmesg output.  Please let me know if there is anything else you need.  I suspect I am not loading a driver required, but couldnt figure out what driver is not loaded.  The outputs I posted where from a system rescue boot using a gentoo kernel.  Tiny Core will boot fine and run, but I can't mount the internal ATA flash drive.

You're right, we have that module disabled, since it's marked experimental/unstable.

You can either use your own kernel, or build that module for ours, and remaster it in.

[dmtc1]

Thanks! I am actually working on the remaster now.  Can I just use the linux kernel from my gentoo install I compiled on this hardware?  Or do I need to re-compile that kernel with your headers?

[curaga]

Yes, as long as it's recent enough, it should work on TC. I'm not 100% sure on .38, but try anyway

Where the kernel is compiled doesn't matter.

[dmtc1]

Thanks I got the kernel compiled and working.  I just installed microcore on the internal 64k flash drive.  Now I don't need a usb dangling in case of power loss this thing will boot independently.

Time to start configuring extensions!
