Aug 07 13:16:18 <snuiter> hi
Aug 07 13:16:42 <snuiter> any experience with running debian on the nslu2?
Aug 07 13:17:29 <snuiter> i succesfully flashed di-nslu2.bin and logged on and tried to install, but there is no way to let the system recognize ANY external storage on my usb port
Aug 07 13:17:45 <snuiter> neither flash disk nor usb harddisks (tried different enclosures)
Aug 07 13:17:53 <snuiter> with unslung this was never a problem
Aug 07 13:18:08 <snuiter> hi
Aug 07 17:20:30 <tuv> snuiter, did you follow the d-i procedure for nslu2? you cannot complete the install without a disk
Aug 07 17:27:46 <tuv> snuiter, try to shutdown, power-cycle the disk, then power up again
Aug 07 17:35:30 <snuiter> ow i did
Aug 07 17:35:39 <snuiter> every possible combination...
Aug 07 17:36:01 <snuiter> disk off, switch nslu on, then disk on...other way around...everything
Aug 07 17:44:01 <snuiter> usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 2
Aug 07 17:44:02 <snuiter> usb 3-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 2
Aug 07 17:44:02 <snuiter> usb 3-1: USB disconnect, address 2
Aug 07 17:44:02 <snuiter> usb 3-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 3
Aug 07 17:44:02 <snuiter> usb 3-1: USB disconnect, address 3
Aug 07 17:44:02 <snuiter> usb 3-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 4
Aug 07 17:44:11 <snuiter> it's just there, but no /dev/sda or whatever
Aug 07 17:54:41 <tuv> snuiter, no.. power-cycle the disk. that is disconnect it from the nsku2, turn it off, disconnect its power cable, then connect eveything and try again
Aug 07 17:55:33 <snuiter> ok
Aug 07 17:55:37 <snuiter> so...first shutdown
Aug 07 17:55:38 <tuv> snuiter, i had  a similar problem until i power-cycled the disk
Aug 07 17:55:39 <snuiter> halt
Aug 07 17:55:43 <snuiter> oki
Aug 07 17:55:44 <snuiter> well
Aug 07 17:55:46 <snuiter> let's try...
Aug 07 17:57:33 <snuiter> bootin
Aug 07 17:57:44 <snuiter> the Disk 1 led is still not on...
Aug 07 17:57:59 <snuiter> the strange thing is that with unslung i've never had problems like this
Aug 07 18:00:05 <tuv> i don't think the disk led should be on.. check dmesg, or fdisk -l
Aug 07 18:00:23 <tuv> it's not on on my slug
Aug 07 18:00:52 <snuiter> i did previously
Aug 07 18:00:52 <snuiter> nothing
Aug 07 18:01:01 <snuiter> thoug dmesg just shows the devices
Aug 07 18:01:11 <snuiter> it's still booting now after the power cycle
Aug 07 18:01:13 <tuv> and i think using d-i you have to boot with the disk connected
Aug 07 18:01:20 <snuiter> yup
Aug 07 18:01:22 <snuiter> I did
Aug 07 18:01:27 <snuiter> well
Aug 07 18:01:30 <snuiter> I also tried it withot
Aug 07 18:01:35 <snuiter> without
Aug 07 18:01:47 <snuiter> and I'm getting tired of this :)
Aug 07 18:01:59 <snuiter> just like from this crippled unslung stuff
Aug 07 18:02:15 <tuv> oh debianSlug is much better than unslung
Aug 07 18:02:36 <tuv> i'm enjoying mine!
Aug 07 18:02:41 <snuiter> yeah,I want a decent OS
Aug 07 18:02:53 <snuiter> not this crap where everything is in /opt and several copies of /etc/passwd
Aug 07 18:03:10 <snuiter> i'm in the installer again..
Aug 07 18:03:16 <tuv> did it complete the boot?
Aug 07 18:03:20 <tuv> ok
Aug 07 18:03:30 <snuiter> yeah
Aug 07 18:03:33 <snuiter> logged on now
Aug 07 18:03:35 <snuiter> in the debian installer
Aug 07 18:05:27 <tuv> so?
Aug 07 18:05:58 <snuiter> well
Aug 07 18:06:07 <snuiter> it's downloading all kind of shit now
Aug 07 18:06:19 <tuv> so did it recognize the disk?
Aug 07 18:06:45 <snuiter> 31%
Aug 07 18:06:49 <snuiter> 'loading additional components
Aug 07 18:06:53 <tuv> were you presented with the partitioner
Aug 07 18:06:55 <snuiter> no partitioner yet
Aug 07 18:06:57 <snuiter> not yet
Aug 07 18:07:00 <tuv> oh
Aug 07 18:07:54 <tuv> actually i tried the d-i debian/NSLU2 for a while then moved to the debootstrap'ed openSlug kernel with debian
Aug 07 18:08:15 <tuv> that is debian with openslug kernel
Aug 07 18:08:37 <tuv> but debian/NSLU2 was fine too
Aug 07 18:11:22 <snuiter> partitioner is there
Aug 07 18:11:35 <snuiter> only the /dev/mtdblock devices..
Aug 07 18:12:29 <snuiter> it really looks like a kernel module is missing
Aug 07 18:13:55 <tuv> nope.. it's still the 20060311 build on slug-firmware.net. this is the one i used and it recognized my maxtor oneTouch disk
Aug 07 18:14:09 <snuiter> grmbl
Aug 07 18:14:35 <snuiter> i've got some cheap enclosure with i-don't-know-what kind of disk
Aug 07 18:14:48 <snuiter> at least the original firmware, and unslung do not have problems
Aug 07 18:14:57 <snuiter> I also tried a regular usb stick...
Aug 07 18:15:00 <snuiter> some problem
Aug 07 18:15:19 <snuiter> should i give openslug a try?
Aug 07 18:17:03 <tuv> actually i found openslug kernel a little better since you can add modules to it, which is not the case for d-i's kernel
Aug 07 18:17:29 <snuiter> sounds much better
Aug 07 18:17:31 <Naib> openslug is good
Aug 07 18:17:41 <snuiter> I thought so, but I'm lazy
Aug 07 18:18:00 <snuiter> I just want to have play mp3's on it and download p0rn
Aug 07 18:18:10 <Naib> donkey?
Aug 07 18:18:15 <snuiter> usenet
Aug 07 18:19:31 <tuv> snuiter, i used this page to install openslug's kernel: http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/SlugOS/UsingTheBinary, then this page to convert it into debian: http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/DebianSlug/Bootstrap
Aug 07 18:20:30 <snuiter> I already found those and I'm going to try it this way
Aug 07 18:20:33 <snuiter> but not now :(
Aug 07 18:20:44 <snuiter> ...girlfriend...
Aug 07 18:20:46 <tuv> i must say though that kernel nfs is best on unslung
Aug 07 18:22:00 <Naib> might just be placebo
Aug 07 18:29:59 <snuiter> i only use nfs
Aug 07 18:30:11 <snuiter> is there a free nfs client for windows?
Aug 07 18:30:34 <snuiter> i never understood this samba-stuff with there 'workgroups' and 'wins' etc
Aug 07 18:32:06 <tuv> snuiter, i only use nfs too, but i only use linux as well
Aug 07 18:32:59 <snuiter> i've one machine with windows
Aug 07 18:33:07 <snuiter> i nearly use it
