A-eon's old linux wheezy usb stick

I have the red wheezy bootable usb stick I've been trying to get booting again, but can't recall the CFE command line for it.
I have "setenv bootargs 'root=/dev/sde1';boot -elf -noints -fs=ext2", but I can't remember the rest. Is the kernel on the usb stick? I see what looks like some older kernels in the "boot" directory.

Ok, with your commands, it appears to load the kernel, but hangs on "return from prom_init. After a long wait, my monitor goes blank & turns off (standby mode).
Maybe its my r9 270 card, I had to test different kernels to get my Ubuntu disk install to boot after the change.

The kernel from the usb stick is too old for your graphics card. Could you try it with the latest release candidate of kernel 4.0, please?
Download:
vmlinux-4.0-rc7-AMIGA_one_X1000.tar.bz2
Copy the kernel with another Linux system to a cf card or to a usb stick.
You can boot Debian with latest kernel with the following commands:
Code: Select all
CFE> setenv bootargs "root=/dev/sde1"
Code: Select all
CFE> boot -elf -noints -ext2 usbdisk0:boot/vmlinux-4.0
or
Code: Select all
CFE> boot -elf -noints -fatfs cf0:vmlinux-4.0

That new kernel got me a lot further, had the dev wrong, seems to be sdf1, but it never reaches the desktop. Not sure if its a kernel problem or if the usb disk has gone bad. Not a show stopper, I have a working Ubuntu install, just wanted to see wheezy working again is all.
