Request: I was just looking at "http://hg.grml.org/grml-kernel" and noticed that the link "Initial config for 2.6.22-grml64" to the kernel configuration, still have the serial configuration set to 4. CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_NR_UARTS=4 CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_RUNTIME_UARTS=4
In the "grml configuration changes for 2.6.22:" link, the CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_NR_UARTS is set to 16, and the CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_RUNTIME_UARTS is set to 4.
I was able to recompile the grml-small 0.4 kernel with CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_NR_UARTS=16 CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_RUNTIME_UARTS=8 and did the test to the serial ports. They are good to go :) Since I'm using 6 ports, I set the CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_RUNTIME_UARTS to 8 so I don't have to create the ttyS4..ttyS7 manually.
A request, can you set the CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_NR_UARTS to 16, and CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_RUNTIME_UARTS to 8 in the grml small, grml and grml64 kernel configurations. Thanks.
Thanks for suggestion, will be included in the next kernel build - see http://bts.grml.org/grml/issue216
Question 1: I set "/etc/init.d/ssh start" to bootlocal.last file to run ssh deamon automatically. Is there proper way to run the ssh daemon, when grml-small boots?
Boot with 'grml ssh=password_of_your_choice' :)
Question 2: The PC that I'm using has an ethernet card and a wifi card build in. I also use a SMC usb-ethernet adapter. How do I set grml small when it boots up, the ethernet card is set as eth0 with static ip 192.168.xx.xx, and wifi as eth1 with dhcp, and usb-ethernet adapter as eth2 when it is plug-in. In Fedora OS, at "/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/" I configured them in ifcfg-eth0, ifcfg-eth1 and ifcfg-eth2 (usb-ethernet) files. Currently I have to run the ifconfig ethX ip_address manually. Thanks a bunch.
Are you talking about live-mode? If so then check out the possibitilies of the config framework: http://grml.org/config/ -> http://grml.org/config/grml-config.html which gives you flexibility in saving and restoring configuration. Hint: /etc/network/interfaces is the place where network configuration takes place at Debian/grml.
