I have tried many many combinations of the kernel parameters without success. RTFM and SFTW have left me no wiser, so I am asking here: can anyone suggest a working recipe? The thin client has a Geode GX1 CPU, an AMD CS5530A Southbridge, and 48MB of flash memory soldered to the mainboard: Toshiba TC58128FT or some near relation. The kernel version is 2.6.24-gentoo-r8. At some early stage I stumbled upon some combination of keys that caused interesting-sounding devices like /dev/mtd0 to appear, but they didn't seem mountable so I adjusted the kernel and recompiled without noting the settings I had -- ouch! -- and now even that small glimmer of hope has gone. Any helpful suggestions would be most welcome. Thanks.
