Aug 17 14:33:23 <raphxl> hi guys
Aug 17 14:34:49 <raphxl> I bought an nslu2 since 2 weeks and all was great
Aug 17 14:36:25 <raphxl> installed unslung on a 30Go hard drive and all was working perfect, but yesterday I tried to use an other disk so I take one, format it using admin web page and unsling on the new hdd...
Aug 17 14:37:02 <raphxl> but now, it doesn't boot on the new disk not the old one...
Aug 17 14:37:29 <blaster8> hi
Aug 17 14:38:11 <blaster8> Two Questions: Does the NSLU2 boot with no disk attached?
Aug 17 14:38:20 <blaster8> & which Unslung Version are you using?
Aug 17 14:38:21 <raphxl> yes, no probleme
Aug 17 14:39:02 <raphxl> I use the last one (unslung 5.5)
Aug 17 14:39:28 <raphxl> V2.3R29-uNSLUng-5.5-beta
Aug 17 14:39:52 <blaster8> OK - I recommend starting up with no disk attached
Aug 17 14:40:23 <blaster8> then plugging in your new disk and reformatting it, using the Linksys web interface
Aug 17 14:40:24 <raphxl> ok 
Aug 17 14:41:03 <blaster8> Then turn off the slug, unplug the drive again and boot up
Aug 17 14:41:18 <blaster8> turn on telnet, and follow the unslinging instructions again carefully
Aug 17 14:41:43 <blaster8> If you still have problems, then we'll need to diagnose which stage of the boot fails
Aug 17 14:42:36 <raphxl> ok, works in progress
Aug 17 14:43:27 <raphxl> but how I can diagnose where boot fails.
Aug 17 14:43:28 <raphxl> ?
Aug 17 14:43:54 <blaster8> using the rather complicated dance the lights do as the slug boots
Aug 17 14:44:19 <blaster8> http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/RecoverFromABadFlash
Aug 17 14:44:21 <raphxl> ok
Aug 17 14:44:25 <raphxl> thk
Aug 17 14:46:38 <raphxl> do you think I have to flash again the box or just run then "/sbin/unsling disk1" script?
Aug 17 14:47:17 <blaster8> if it boots without the disk, "/sbin/unsling disk1" should be sufficient
Aug 17 14:47:46 <raphxl> ok, ty
Aug 17 14:54:57 <ByronT> wiat
Aug 17 14:55:03 <ByronT> wait even
Aug 17 14:55:14 <ByronT> raphxl, you still here?
Aug 17 14:55:37 <raphxl> ByronT: yes, i'm in the unslinging process
Aug 17 14:55:44 <ByronT> it won't work
Aug 17 14:55:50 <blaster8> ?
Aug 17 14:55:51 <ByronT> there's a bug
Aug 17 14:56:12 <ByronT> boot again with no drive attached
Aug 17 14:56:18 <ByronT> telnet in
Aug 17 14:56:26 <ByronT> rm /.sda1root
Aug 17 14:56:44 <ByronT> reboot again without hdd attached
Aug 17 14:56:56 <ByronT> plug in new hdd and then unsling
Aug 17 14:57:29 <ByronT> then you should be able to boot with either the old drive attached or the new one without issues
Aug 17 14:58:05 <raphxl> ok ByronT, I try it immediately
Aug 17 15:08:20 <raphxl> ByronT: Your my Lord, thank you (and thank you to blaster8). All is working right now
Aug 17 15:08:49 <ByronT> no, not your lord, just the first person to track down the nasty bug and know how to fix it....
Aug 17 15:09:34 <ByronT> err... know how to workaround it, dyoung figured the workaround, I just can repeat it if necessary
Aug 17 15:10:14 <blaster8> ByronT: Thanks, didn't know about that one
Aug 17 15:11:28 <raphxl> I'll blog this today :)
Aug 17 15:12:02 <ByronT> blaster8, tis ok. I've gotten to where I recognize the problem within a sec or two, and can give the directions for recovery out pretty quickly
