Creation
Since this is a dedicated machine with the sole purpose of running cereal, I chose to install debian lenny
(cereal is not in etch
).
I did a basic debootstrap-style install (similar to that of marcos.mayfirst.org), but i added etch to /etc/apt/sources.list
so i could track linux-modules-2.6.18-xen-686
, which will be needed for the 8250
module for the serial port. I also installed udev
to manage the creation of the device node for /dev/ttyS1
. This is a ridiculously heavyweight solution for a simple task, but it seems simpler to maintain (since udev
is becoming ubiquitous).
