Hi all,
after i build kamimoze for x86 i got openwrt-x86-2.6-ext2.image  about 21 MB.
How to write to CF ? i try dd but fail

Regard.

perhaps you could elaborate on the "but fail".  I have done this many times with no problems.

give me instruction for write to CF please

Dome C.

To write the .image form Windows XP I use the win32 binary of dd with:

C:\>dd-0.3\dd-removable.exe --progress if=openwrt-x86-2.6-ext2.image of=\\?\Device\HarddiskX\Partition0

The command above works for me. Use 'dd-removable.exe --list' to find the device you like to write the image to.

Thanks all.
Problem is  i have 2 main board. one is build in CF its' work  and one i use CF to IDE  don't work because openwrt don't work on /dev/hda

Dome C.

then you need to add a kernel parameter to say where root is.  As the x86 build uses GRUB all you need to do is tell Grub to edit the selection, and change the root parameter to /dev/hda1 (or whichever partition).

default grub menu root=/dev/hda2

But no device.map now i create device.map

(hd0)   /dev/hda

it's work..
