**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Jul 19 23:59:56 2005 Jul 20 10:44:22 what does an off Ready/Status LED mean? Jul 20 10:45:20 depends Jul 20 10:45:38 i upgraded to 5.5 and everything worked fine.. then I had some I/O problems.. so I reformatted the disk Jul 20 10:45:38 if it's not steady green, then something is wrong Jul 20 10:45:47 no.. steady OFF Jul 20 10:45:48 aha Jul 20 10:46:04 I made a post to the mailing list about this Jul 20 10:46:09 after I reformatted, everthing works fine until i unsling Jul 20 10:46:23 reboot without hdd Jul 20 10:46:36 telnet in and "rm /.sda1root" Jul 20 10:46:41 once i unsling, booting with hdd never beeps and Ready/Status LED is OFF Jul 20 10:46:54 I'm giving you the way to correct Jul 20 10:47:05 ok.. i'm following Jul 20 10:47:22 after the "rm' reboot again without hd Jul 20 10:47:24 reboot w/out disk and rm /.sda1root Jul 20 10:47:30 ok Jul 20 10:47:48 telnet in again, hotplug drive, then /sbin/unsling Jul 20 10:47:58 reboot and you should be back up and running Jul 20 10:48:09 /sbin/unsling or /sbin/unsling disk1 Jul 20 10:48:12 ? Jul 20 10:48:15 disk1 Jul 20 10:48:18 ok Jul 20 10:48:22 i'll try that now Jul 20 10:48:34 it works... (done it three times to make sure) Jul 20 10:49:00 but why does this happen? Jul 20 10:49:13 a bug Jul 20 10:49:20 in 5.5? Jul 20 10:49:23 yep Jul 20 10:49:38 but this didn't happen when i first upgraded, just after a reformat Jul 20 10:49:52 after unsling in 5.5, the sysinit doesn't correctly recognize that you've booted without a hdd Jul 20 10:50:29 so when you unsling it's supposed to create (by copying) a populated /dev on the hdd Jul 20 10:51:14 but it does not, so what happens is that "unsling" thinks you have a hdd ready to be booted from (and running rootfs) but when you reboot, it can't find /dev Jul 20 10:51:22 so it hangs Jul 20 10:51:35 aha Jul 20 10:51:40 no strangled beep, no response to ping, etc. Jul 20 10:52:10 I have a serial modded slug that we verified the problem and came up with the correction (for the time being) that I gave you Jul 20 10:52:25 thanks Jul 20 10:59:36 it worked.. thanks alot Jul 20 11:00:17 consider this a confirmation that i was experiencing the same problem rather than the solution works or not ;) Jul 20 11:05:37 hehe Jul 20 12:04:42 is there someone online that can help me with a NSLU2 problem Jul 20 12:17:42 henkie01, what kind of problem?
