Grap the latest boot image from http://dev.gentoo.org/~corsair/efika/ 1. Install and configure a tftp server on another machine (not on the efika, the other machine has to be in the same network). I use atftp. I will use 192.168.0.2 as the server adress in this tutorial. Replace it with the correct value. 2. Place efika.forth and efika_yyyymmdd.img in /tftroot/ (or whereever you configured it to be). Alternative: Place the efika.forth and efika_yyyymmdd.img on an USB stick. 3. make sure an DHCP server is running in your network 4. power on your efika and execute the efika.forth script: Code: ok s" eth:192.168.0.2 efika.forth" $boot Efika 5200B Device Tree Supplement 20071114 (c) 2007 Genesi USA, Inc. http://www.powerdeveloper.org/ for support Adding Clock Distribution Module Adding Simple GPIO Module Adding Wakeup GPIO Module Adding Slice Timer 1 Adding General Purpose Timer 0 Adding General Purpose Timer 1 Adding General Purpose Timer 2 Adding General Purpose Timer 3 Adding General Purpose Timer 4 Adding General Purpose Timer 5 Adding General Purpose Timer 6 Adding General Purpose Timer 7 Adding Ethernet PHY Adding SDRAM Controller Adding XLB Arbiter ok 5. Load and execute the image: Code: ok boot eth:192.168.0.2,efika_yyyymmdd.img [...] RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0 VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem). Freeing unused kernel memory: 152k init / $ 6. Follow the Gentoo PPC Handbook. You can skip the first sections and start with "Configuring the network". Network setup should be as easy as dhcpcd eth0. EDIT: you might want to use these experimental uclibc stages instead of the default glibc based ones: http://releases.barfoo.org/ppc/stages/uclibc/ (the ones on the mirrors are pretty outdated) 7. When selecting the kernel unmask a kernel >=2.6.24-rc7. 8. You can leave out "Configuring the bootloader" as Efika's firmware can load kernels directly. 9. Have fun!

Markus, are you and humpback cooperating? Just curious?!? Thanks. R&B :)

Quote: Markus, are you and humpback cooperating? No, we are not. Maybe we should! :D Currently this image is trail&error.. I plan to integrate this in catalyst, when the progress stabilizes. Building this images would get as easy as possible. People could add programms on their own and such things. But that's "future stuff"... I also have to finish the project I got the efika officially for... EDIT: this are the steps I do to build the image: Code: ROOT="/efika-root/" emerge baselayout-lite ROOT="/efika-root/" USE="make-symlinks static" emerge busybox ROOT="/efika-root/" emerge uclibc dropbear e2fsprogs dhcpcd # change hostname in /etc/hostname echo efika >> /efika-root/etc/hostname # create ttyPSC0 mknod /efika-root/dev/ttyPSC0 c 204 148 # put serial console in /efika-root/etc/inittab sed -i -e "s/#ttyS0::respawn:\/sbin\/getty -L ttyS0 115200 vt100/ttyPSC0::respawn:\/sbin\/getty -L ttyPSC0 115200 vt100/" /efika-root/etc/inittab # automatically login sed -i -e "s/\/sbin\/getty 38400 tty1/\/bin\/sh/" /efika-root/etc/inittab sed -i -e "s/\/sbin\/getty 38400 tty2/\/bin\/sh/" /efika-root/etc/inittab sed -i -e "s/\/sbin\/getty -L ttyPSC0 115200 vt100/\/bin\/sh/" /efika-root/etc/inittab # create neccessary directories mkdir /efika-root/var/run # create the image mkdir -p efika-root-stripped/ cp -a /efika-root/ efika-root-stripped/ rm -rf usr/include/ usr/lib/pkgconfig/ usr/share/busybox/ var/cache/edb/ var/db/pkg/ var/lib/portage/ etc/portage/ dd if=/dev/zero of=efika-root.img bs=512K count=11 mke2fs -F efika-root.img mount efika-root.img /mnt/efika-root/ -o loop cp -a efika-root-stripped/* /mnt/efika-root/ # create the image mkvmlinuz-33.corsair/mkvmlinuz -o efika_20071131.img -k /root/vmlinux -s /root/System.map -i /root/efika-root.img -d /root/mkvmlinuz-33.corsair/boot -r 2.6.24 -u -v mkvmlinuz comes originally from debian, but I had to update/patch the tool a bit.
