Voyage Linux is a Debian sarge-based distro designed to run on a x86-based embedded platform such as Soekris 45xx/48xx and WRAP boards.

How about adding swap space on a USB disk (assuming it is an out of
memory issue)? When I build software for a Voyage system I always do
it on an external disk to save wear on the CF card.

Excuse my newbie-ness, but would it not be possible to recompile a
Voyage kernel on another machine and copy over the .deb to the target
machine?

I ask this because I'm thinking about compiling a real-time Voyage
kernel for my Alix.

The ALIX boards are standard x86, so there should not be any cross
compiling issues.  Of course be careful not to enable features that are
not present on the Geodes.

If you really want to compile on the actual Alix itself, I use a
swapfile.  If all you want to do is build some third party module, why
don't you make the headers?

From the kernel source directory, run:
make-kpkg kernel-headers

You then get an installable .deb containing the kernel headers.

Hth,

Hi David,

The most easy to do is to install the SDK CD to VM (VMWare, Virtual Box 
or qemu).  It included required package to build kernel as well.  Once 
the deb is build, you can transfer the kernel deb to alix box and 
install it.

Hi All,

I'm relatively new to voyage running on a alix board. I'd like to use a iSCS connection to my NAS to mount as a
block level device. The required kernel module (included in debian installations) is iscsi_tcp
(http://wiki.debian.org/iSCSI/open-iscsi) - is there an easy way just to build the kernel module w/o
the whole kernel stuff?

Thanks
Alexander
