[okl4-developer] okl4 off the disk

[Ashish Bijlani]

The PCI ID according to lspci -vvnb is (8086, 2289), which is not
supported in oklinux/wombat
00:1f.2 0106: 8086:2829 (rev 03) (prog-if 01 [AHCI 1.0])

Can I make it work just by adding the relevant PCI ID in drivers/ata/ata_piix.c?

Also, I created /dev/console (MAJ=5, MIN=1) in the rootfs package by
adding the following lines in "linux/rootfs-2.6.23-v2/etc/init.d/rcS"

   mknod /dev/console c 5 1

Upon booting in qemu, I can verify the existence of device

BusyBox v1.00 (2008.05.27-15:41+0000) Built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

/ #
/ # ls -l /dev/console
crw-r--r--    1 root     root       5,   1 Jan  1 00:00 /dev/console
/ #


However, it doesn't help in getting msgs on the actual hardware. Any
suggestions? Thanks,
