in trying to resolve other questions posted here, i seem to be digging myself further into a hole. I have a CF card with TC that i need Xorg instead of Xvesa to run an old 640X480 LCD. I'm setting up the CF card via a ubuntu laptop which has web access (the target hardware doesnt)
SO I start with a clean TC plus iso. I boot up on the laptop with the Xvesa and all is ok. I installed fluff and Xorg-7.6 and have them run on boot. The boot code at startup says cde. I have a cde directory with an onboot.lst file that lists all the main extensions, Xvesa being the first in the list. I also have a tce directory with another onboot.lst file that has fluff, Xorg-7.6 and a few others. The laptop has a hard disk, which TC sees as /mnt/sda1. The CF card is /mnt/sdb1. When I start the app manager, i set the tce directory to /mnt/sdb1.
When I reboot on the laptop, it only loads the cde/onboot.lst files. When i powerup the target hardware, it only loads the /tce/onboot.lst files.
Why is this? Is it to do with there being no sda1 drive?
Also, to get Xorg running on the laptop, i had to copy the Xorg tcz file from /tce/optional to cde/optional and edit cde/onboot.lst and change the first line from Xvesa to Xorg-7.6. I assume this is correct, as i do get a gui when running on the laptop.
So, i then take this CF card and plug it into the target motherboard, it goes through loading the /tce/optional extensions, but stops at the prompt.
Any ideas?
