ok, back to the original topic. dsl on n2200.
i managed to get dsl started on n2200 using nfsroot (don't have any cf card lying around). 2 problems so far.
1. n2200 doesn't support kernel argument so initrd is out. without it i either have to allow rw on nfsroot (or cf card) or create a ramdisk post-boot and start dsl from that. what i've done so far is to populate the nfsroot with minirt24.img and hack the /etc/init script to create a ramdisk using (modified) minirt24.img as a cloned before chrooting to the ramdisk. the problem is, after mouning knoppix image the init program doesn't work (because we're in chrooted environment?) so i have to call /bin/bash instead of /etc/init. /.bashrc will take care of calling the appropriate scripts in /etc/init.d/* (knoppix-autoconfig and dsl-config) i also have to hack knoppix-autoconfig to add command lines (eg. nopcmcia, lowram, etc) manually.
2. xvesa doesn't seem to work. xfbdev works fine EXCEPT i'm stuck in 8 bit depth (again, no control over kernel arguments)
i'd love it if someone can help me out with
1. how to change root partition and still being able to run init
2. what's wrong with the xvesa? i keep getting cryptic 'interrupt pointer doesn't point to rom'. the full xfree86 with vesa driver works as evidenced by linux2200 distro so it must be something specific to tinyx.
