Jun 17 05:16:26 <caplink811_away> hi Ho66es, any progress with your booting problem? Have you tried the usb-stick?
Jun 17 05:19:57 <Ho66es> i just posted an upodate after more work this morning, :( i tried a different hard drive and enclosure, still no joy
Jun 17 05:22:32 <Ho66es> it all works until i unsling to the drive, once i do that it continues to work until i restart
Jun 17 05:22:38 <Ho66es> then it hangs
Jun 17 05:23:31 <caplink811_away> curious, but have you tried an usb-stick as hdd in port1?
Jun 17 05:24:46 <Ho66es> not yet as my daughter borrowed my 256meg one, all i have is a 32meg
Jun 17 05:37:45 <caplink811_away> it's a pity, the stick must have 256mb at least
Jun 17 05:39:09 <Ho66es> have no fear
Jun 17 05:39:20 <Ho66es> i will get it or buy another to try
Jun 17 05:39:49 <Ho66es> i have already bought the caddy
Jun 17 07:10:12 <RobertBabiak> hey all, i have potentially a newbie question, but i haven't been able to find a answer on the wiki, any gurus here?
Jun 17 07:10:50 <caplink811_log> dunno, but what's the question
Jun 17 07:11:18 <RobertBabiak> I used the web interface to upgrade the firmware on my NFS and now it turns on and all the lights go green, but the web conection is refused, yet the NFS is pingable. any idea what i did wrong?
Jun 17 07:12:10 <RobertBabiak> and yes i had all HD disconected when i upgraded.
Jun 17 07:13:39 <caplink811_log> you've updated from which version to what version?
Jun 17 07:13:52 <RobertBabiak> from factory to 5.5
Jun 17 07:14:08 <caplink811_log> k
Jun 17 07:14:29 <RobertBabiak> should i assume the worst and recover to the factory using the recovery steps in the docs?
Jun 17 07:14:41 <caplink811_log> what is the ip adress of the nslu?
Jun 17 07:14:58 <RobertBabiak> i have it configured to 192.168.2.100
Jun 17 07:15:18 <RobertBabiak> but i checked the 192.168.3.77 and it wasn't there
Jun 17 07:15:26 <RobertBabiak> like i said. i can ping it fine.
Jun 17 07:15:59 <RobertBabiak> so i don't think it is a comunications problem.
Jun 17 07:16:14 <caplink811_log> well, what's the answer to an http request? 
Jun 17 07:16:43 <RobertBabiak> firefox returns conection refused.
Jun 17 07:16:53 <RobertBabiak> i am at work, so i can't actually try any of this.
Jun 17 07:16:58 <caplink811_log> ah, does accessing a folder share work?
Jun 17 07:17:03 <RobertBabiak> no
Jun 17 07:17:16 <RobertBabiak> same message from windows
Jun 17 07:17:42 <caplink811_log> btw, default adress is 91.168.1.77 not .3.77
Jun 17 07:18:08 <RobertBabiak> k
Jun 17 07:18:41 <caplink811_log> hm, so you can try to reset sysconfig, may help ... have a look at
Jun 17 07:19:22 <caplink811_log> http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/ResetSysConf
Jun 17 07:19:59 <caplink811_log> mom, you trials are with or without hd attached?
Jun 17 07:20:07 <caplink811_log> s/you/youre
Jun 17 07:21:28 <RobertBabiak> ok thanks. i will give that a try after work.
Jun 17 07:22:55 <caplink811_log> RobertBabiak, if you boot the nslu without a hd attached, the error is still the same?
Jun 17 07:23:12 <RobertBabiak> yes
Jun 17 07:23:28 <caplink811_log> k, then http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/ResetSysConf may help
Jun 17 07:24:25 <RobertBabiak> thanks. this is kind of a foray into uncharted lands for me.  I can write software, just never work at such a low level.
Jun 17 07:35:56 <RobertBabiak> caplink811_away if that doesn't work. should i just follow the RecoverFromABadFlash steps?
Jun 17 07:37:25 <caplink811_log> RobertBabiak, imho it's easier to follow telnetintoredboot, enter upgrade mode and use sercomm (windows) or upslug (linux) for a sw upgrade
Jun 17 07:37:50 <RobertBabiak> ok will try that
Jun 17 07:38:25 <caplink811_log> imho, this way is also described in the 5.5 readme
Jun 17 07:39:08 <RobertBabiak> i was following a readme that said to just use the web interface. 
Jun 17 07:39:24 <RobertBabiak> hmmm. maybe i had the wrong file open....
Jun 17 07:40:27 <caplink811_log> yeah, when you upgrade from a version <=3.x, but when you upgrade from 4.x (then is upgrade mode recommend), or from 5.x (there is no other way)
Jun 17 07:41:10 <RobertBabiak> ok
Jun 17 07:41:29 <RobertBabiak> i so want to just go home and play with this.
Jun 17 07:41:50 <caplink811_log> much fun ;-)
Jun 17 07:45:04 <RobertBabiak> what do you do when not answering questions?
Jun 17 07:45:45 <caplink811_log> answering questions, also in real live (2nd line support)
Jun 17 07:46:22 <RobertBabiak> been there, Write games now my self.
Jun 17 07:47:13 <caplink811_log> programming isn't my thing, to virtual 
Jun 17 07:50:56 <RobertBabiak> yea it isn't for everyone.
Jun 17 07:53:38 <caplink811_log> searching answers and try things out, thats more mine
Jun 17 08:03:21 <RobertBabiak> in general the redboot is never overwriten, correct? so you can never get it to the point where you can't fix it
Jun 17 08:03:23 <RobertBabiak> ?
Jun 17 10:10:20 <ho666es> mmmm swaret rocks
Jun 17 10:10:37 <RobertBabiak> what is swaret?
Jun 17 10:10:49 <ho666es> package updater for slackware
Jun 17 10:11:14 <RobertBabiak> ok, still confused, but that is ok, still learning.
Jun 17 10:11:33 <ho666es> as i can't get my slug to work i am sorting my new server
Jun 17 10:12:02 <ho666es> my new server has slackware 10.1 installed as its os
Jun 17 10:12:55 <RobertBabiak> cool. i flashed mine and now it don't work... :( but will try some things when i get home.
Jun 17 10:13:44 <RobertBabiak> need to build a linux machine at some point to learn a lot of this stuff.
Jun 17 10:15:32 <ho666es> i had a similar tale to you, but i held in reset during power up and got the flashing red/green and used the windows flash util and it then worked
Jun 17 10:15:51 <ho666es> but i didn't mention that as the experts in here know best
Jun 17 10:18:34 <caplink811_away> ho666es: just a question, the 2nd enclosure, which you' ve buy, has it also an usb/firewire connector, or simply usb?
Jun 17 10:18:54 <ho666es> simply usb :)
Jun 17 10:19:00 <ho666es> that was my thought
Jun 17 10:19:11 <ho666es> but lock up is exactly the same
Jun 17 10:20:01 <ho666es> youi know in the boot process wher the light on the ethernet connection goes out then the status led goes out and then back?
Jun 17 10:20:13 <caplink811_away> asking cause a member of the german user group had the same problem
Jun 17 10:20:26 <ho666es> the ethernet comes back to green but the status stays off
Jun 17 10:40:20 <caplink811_away> ho666es: just a little time for an attempt?
Jun 17 10:40:37 <ho666es> sure something new for me to try?
Jun 17 10:41:00 <caplink811_away> may be, can you boot the lsug without hd, login, and enter lsmod?
Jun 17 10:41:10 <caplink811_away> s/lsug/slug
Jun 17 10:41:32 <ho666es> rebooting
Jun 17 10:41:59 <caplink811_away> then plug the disk in and enter lsmod again,

Jun 17 10:44:56 <caplink811> the same,k
Jun 17 10:45:40 <caplink811> well, then i have no new ideas
Jun 17 10:45:44 <caplink811> :-(
Jun 17 10:46:16 <ho666es> no probs ty for trying
Jun 17 11:04:06 <ho666es> weird i restarted and i can still telnet in with hd attached
Jun 17 11:04:19 <ho666es> ie the hd was there during restart
Jun 17 11:04:44 <ho666es> or hmmmmm
Jun 17 11:04:48 <ho666es> have i
Jun 17 11:05:59 <ho666es> lol i am lost maybe i copied the passwd file unto the hdd without unslinging it
Jun 17 11:09:08 <caplink811> this should make no difference
Jun 17 11:10:37 <caplink811> the only advantage is, that the root pw, when booting with hd (in the future), is uNSLUng too
Jun 17 11:10:58 <ho666es> yup
Jun 17 11:11:57 <ho666es> ohhhhh
Jun 17 11:13:00 <ho666es> rebooting got the usb 256meg
Jun 17 11:14:38 <caplink811> bb just after reboot
Jun 17 11:14:44 <ho666es> :)
Jun 17 11:19:36 <ho666es> formatting
Jun 17 11:22:50 <ho666es> wb
Jun 17 11:22:54 <ho666es> unslinging
Jun 17 11:27:27 <ho666es> wooo this is slow
Jun 17 11:27:34 <ho666es> or locked up
Jun 17 11:27:47 <ho666es> but webinterface is running fine
Jun 17 11:28:32 <caplink811_> checking which rootfs is in use with df
Jun 17 11:28:58 <ho666es> it still thinks its unslinging
Jun 17 11:29:29 <ho666es> last line in termina screen Copying the complete rootfs from / to /share/hdd/data.
Jun 17 11:29:45 <caplink811_> looks good
Jun 17 11:30:25 <ho666es> yup but thats it
Jun 17 11:30:42 <ho666es> normally it would have moved to the # prompt by now
Jun 17 11:31:04 <caplink811_> 8 minutes, should be ready at least... no more lines on the screen, weird
Jun 17 11:31:17 <ho666es> i will try ctrl c
Jun 17 11:31:24 <caplink811_> k
Jun 17 11:31:32 <ho666es> nope
Jun 17 11:31:36 <ho666es> ok restart
Jun 17 11:31:58 <caplink811_> hm, but you've format the the stick on the nslu before?
Jun 17 11:32:06 <ho666es> no
Jun 17 11:32:19 <caplink811_> sp it is(was) vfat formated?
Jun 17 11:32:20 <ho666es> first time
Jun 17 11:32:28 <caplink811_> s/sp/so
Jun 17 11:32:33 <ho666es> yup but i did format via web interface
Jun 17 11:32:45 <ho666es> before i did the unsling
Jun 17 11:33:02 <caplink811_> ok, thats the point, at which i was unsure
Jun 17 11:35:07 <ho666es> ok not booting with usb in now so rebooting without
Jun 17 11:35:46 <ho666es> ok this is war, grabs 512mb from cam and shoves in adaptor
Jun 17 11:41:48 <ho666es> formatting
Jun 17 11:44:11 <ho666es> formatted
Jun 17 11:44:42 <ho666es> unslinging
Jun 17 11:45:10 <ho666es> finished
Jun 17 11:45:31 <caplink811_> well
Jun 17 11:45:46 <caplink811_> before reboot
Jun 17 11:45:55 <ho666es> ok
Jun 17 11:46:22 <caplink811_> you should cp /etc/passwd -> /share/hdd/conf/passwd (if the adaptor is in slot1
Jun 17 11:46:25 <caplink811_> )
Jun 17 11:46:35 <ho666es> already done :)
Jun 17 11:46:42 <caplink811_> ;-)
Jun 17 11:46:43 <ho666es> reboot?
Jun 17 11:46:47 <caplink811_> si
Jun 17 11:47:01 * ho666es gets down on knees
Jun 17 11:47:22 * caplink811_ too
Jun 17 11:48:01 <ho666es> grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Jun 17 11:48:13 <caplink811_> ready went off?
Jun 17 11:48:17 <caplink811_> led
Jun 17 11:48:50 <ho666es> yup i have green eth and disk1 all rest off
Jun 17 11:49:39 <caplink811_> curious
Jun 17 11:49:48 <ho666es> very
Jun 17 11:50:23 <ho666es> i used the upgarde util to flash with 5.5 and it did a full verify so its unlikely to be corrupt
Jun 17 11:50:43 <ho666es> especially as it works as a standard slug ok
Jun 17 11:51:15 <caplink811_> yeah, imho it have not an effect, but have you try yet to reset sysconfig?
Jun 17 11:51:38 <ho666es> ok rebooting and reformmating sd card for cam and reformatting hdd for slug
Jun 17 11:51:50 <ho666es> how do i do that?
Jun 17 11:51:57 <caplink811_> and reset sysconf, mom, searching url
Jun 17 11:52:02 <ho666es> k
Jun 17 11:52:11 <ho666es> lol i will try anything
Jun 17 11:53:14 <caplink811_> http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/ResetSysConf and remeber, the nslu default back after this procedure to 192.168.1.77
Jun 17 11:55:52 <ho666es> thats the same for 5.5?
Jun 17 11:56:36 <ho666es> This can also be completed from the web interface. Reflash the linksys firmware go to Administraion / system and click the reset to default configuration.
Jun 17 11:56:42 <ho666es> maybe thats safer?
Jun 17 11:59:58 <caplink811_> maybe not the same
Jun 17 12:00:10 <ho666es> hehh ok will try 1st
Jun 17 12:02:51 <ho666es> btw the unsling to 512 worked and 256 failed, maybe 256 is to small now?
Jun 17 12:04:59 <caplink811_> no, didn't think so, nslu format the media with around 60 MByte swap, 120 MByte conf partition and the rest as data partition ~70mbyte
Jun 17 12:05:39 <caplink811_> the copied jffs filesystem is around 10NByte, so there should be 60 mbyte free at /share/hdd/data
Jun 17 12:10:08 <ho666es> fis erase -f 0x50040000 -l 0x20000
Jun 17 12:10:08 <ho666es> fis: No such file or directory
Jun 17 12:10:27 <ho666es> ahh i need to telnet into redboot
Jun 17 12:12:34 <ho666es> i will leave that for tomorrow
Jun 17 12:12:53 <caplink811_> k
Jun 17 12:13:09 <ho666es> not the quickest thing to do on my setup
Jun 17 12:13:29 <caplink811_> a real ugly slug, i think
Jun 17 12:13:40 <caplink811_> or beastslug
Jun 17 12:13:49 <ho666es> yup
Jun 17 12:14:16 <ho666es> i am sure another would probably have worked by now
