Re: Ethernet port issue

See this thread: http://www.fit-pc.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=51&t=1858&sid=65207a919b007a21945c1286cf121fc1 . I'm not sure if it's exactly the same thing you are experiencing, but a few of us have had problems getting both ethernet ports to work. I got the Fit-PC2i back in 2010 to use as a firewall ...

Re: fit-PC2i - Ethernet ports disappear upon reboot

Interesting... last month I posted a wrap-up of my issue here, but that post is now gone. In any case, to repeat... the solution was that the ethernet interfaces need to have link when the Fit-PC2i is powered on. If they don't, the BIOS will not recognize them, and thus neither will your OS.

Re: fit-PC2i - Ethernet ports disappear upon reboot

Fly, thank you for the reply. At this point, my ethernet ports seem to be staying enabled, even across reboots. My hunch is that the difference is the type of switch they are plugged into. I had been having the problems (mostly) in my workplace, when the fit-PC2i was plugged into a Cisco 2950 10/100...

Re: Please report any SD boot success

What boot loader did you choose ? I used grub, which is the default standard boot loader with Fedora. Grub was installed on the MBR of the SD card, as you'd do with a normal disk. The Fedora installer gui simply showed the SD card as a normal disk device, called /dev/mmcblk0 . There were no special...

fit-PC2i - Ethernet ports disappear upon reboot

Hi, I recently got a new fit-PC2i which I hope to use as a personal linux router/firewall (I got the "i" model due to its dual ethernet ports). I've got it installed and running fine, however the hardware exhibits a strange behavior in that, whenever performing a reboot, either from the operating sy...

Re: Please report any SD boot success

I got a new fit-PC2i the other day (don't know what version, but I assume it's recent) and now have it booting Fedora 13 from a micro-SDHC card in a mini-adapter in the slot. The card is an 8GB class-6 from Kingston. It works fine, but the filesystem is quite slow, as you'd expect. To do this, I boo...
