I have installed a version of A2 from an old iso image onto VirtualBox. The file dates on this image are Feb 19, 2009. <div><br></div><div>This image boots in the VirtualBox environment, and installs. There is an ASSERT that fails in the AM79C970 NIC driver. When I defeat that ASSERT, the IPv4 network operates. The IPv6 network installs addresses, and other ipv6 machines on the same local link show the A2 machine as a neighbor, so some correct packets are leaving the A2 box, but I don't make any progress beyond that point. I am able to Ping.Ping the A2 box on itself by 2 different v6 addresses.</div>
<div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://test1f.link.vima.austin.tx.us">test1f.link.vima.austin.tx.us</a> does respond (local address)</div><div><a href="http://a2.vima.austin.tx.us">a2.vima.austin.tx.us</a> does respond (global address)</div>
<div><a href="http://localhost.vima.austin.tx.us">localhost.vima.austin.tx.us</a> fails to respond (::1)</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>I thought a current version would be a nice thing to install before I investigated further. I have downloaded the svn 4281 image from the Google mirror. This image appears to be starting up, but the resulting screen is totally black. I have not set up any monitoring on the serial port.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I wonder if anyone has used the 4281 image in virtualBox.</div><div>I wonder if anyone has anything like a packet sniffer in A2 so that I can look a little deeper into the IPv6 situation.</div><div><br>
