I’m not sure whether my problem depends on cmov or something else, but it happens on several old pc’s: a 120 MHz Pentium, a 500 MHz K6-2, …

The kernel seems to boot ok, but when it should start init, nothing happens. The last message, in verbose mode, tells about freeing 260k kernel memory.

The requirement for the processor is 233 Mhz. Why? Does it really mean Pentium II?

The versions 1.0.beta9 and 1.0.beta12 behave like this, 10.0.beta11 (on the 120 Mhz Pentium) complains about some missing processor feature and stops earlier.

How do I compile own kernel and build an iso image?

I’m succesfully using Zeroshell 1.0.b9 with Huawei E169 USB modem. Basically I needed to add the following startup script:
—-
# Startup Script

# Mount usbfs.
mount -t usbfs usbfs /proc/bus/usb

# Run huaweiAktBbo, if necessary.
ENDPOINTS=`grep Driver=none /proc/bus/usb/devices | wc -l`
if [ “$ENDPOINTS” == “1” ]
then
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/DB/lib /DB/bin/huaweiAktBbo
fi

# Load usbserial module.
modprobe usbserial vendor=0x12d1 product=0x1001

# Start pppd.
route del default
/DB/bin/gprs.ppp

# Set up NAT.
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.0.0/24 -d 0.0.0.0/0 -j MASQUERADE
—-
a program, huaweiAktBbo, to activate the tty endpoints in the modem, and a pppd script:
—-
/usr/sbin/pppd /udev/ttyUSB0 460800 -crtscts user ppp noauth noipdefault usepeerdns defaultroute debug connect ‘/usr/local/sbin/chat -v -t 10 “” “AT+CGDCONT=1,”IP”,”internet.saunalahti”” “OK” “ATD*99#” “CONNECT”‘ disconnect ‘/usr/local/sbin/chat -v -t 10 ABORT “NO CARRIER” “” “pp+++ppc” “OK” “ATH” “OK”‘
—-

I found the solution. It was quite simple. One has to mount usbfs:

mount -t usbfs usbfs /proc/bus/usb
