All went fine except for the part when booting it with grub would erase the partition table at every boot from the hdd (well, sd-card+adapter). After tons of Googling (can't remember the exact search terms) found that one guy had replaced grub with lilo (which fortunately still comes as a Lubuntu package at least in 18.04) and it worked. So I did the same (full install, add the lilo package, purge grub, remove all grubby remnants, configure and run lilo) and it worked fine. For syslinux - if one wraps the linker in a shell file that adds --allow-multiple-definition, all works fine. And it's even simpler than LILO but it needs a FAT partition (no biggie), tested that one as well. For the revival project at hand (ancient 32-bit 5*86 with an asterisk zap card) I reused the ancient LILO which can load new kernels as well. Still a lot to do (Asterisk+zaptel doesn't compile directly either from buildroot on 586, GCC doesn't come at all with buildroot and GCC's documentation is not very friendly as to what sources one needs to download to do the whole bootstraping stuff) and since it's a pet low-priority project, it will take a long while. If anything pops up in the mean time, I will let you know. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
