Oct 26 19:10:40 <ariel_> heello
Oct 26 19:11:29 <ariel_> I have a Debian NSLU
Oct 26 19:11:53 <ariel_> And I would like to restore linksys original firmware, is it possible without using JTAG?
Oct 26 19:13:39 <caplink811-log> sure...
Oct 26 19:14:22 <ariel_> How can I do that?
Oct 26 19:14:41 <ariel_> Do you have a link?
Oct 26 19:14:59 <caplink811-log> have you done some research on the wiki?
Oct 26 19:15:10 <caplink811-log> ~nslu2-wiki
Oct 26 19:15:11 <capbot> nslu2-wiki is probably the short-hand way of saying "Have a look at the NSLU2-Linux Wiki at http://www.nslu2-linux.org/".
Oct 26 19:15:39 <ariel_> No, I haven't. I was looking first at the mailing list archives
Oct 26 19:15:53 <ariel_> but couldn't think about the right search terms
Oct 26 19:16:09 <caplink811-log> you may read http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/UseTheResetButtonToEnterUpgradeMode
Oct 26 19:16:34 <caplink811-log> and use the sercomm tool, or upslug2, this depends on your os on your workstation
Oct 26 19:17:07 <caplink811-log> the 1st is for windows, the latter for linuxoide os's
Oct 26 19:18:46 <ariel_> Thanks a lot for the pointer caplink811. I was looking at the FAQ on the wiki and didn't see anything similar.
Oct 26 19:19:10 <ariel_> Goo bye, and thanks again.
Oct 26 19:19:25 <caplink811-log> np
Oct 27 00:25:28 <ClausEkstroem> I have a problem getting in contact with my unslung nslu2 box after a power loss yesterday. I've removed the disks, powered the nslu2 on again and it boots nicely with green status and ethernet led. However, I cannot ping it, access it via the web interface, idenitfy it on the LAN on its normal address (192.168.1.150) or on the default address (192.168.1.77). Should I telnet into RedBoot, flash the linksys firmware and 
Oct 27 00:32:29 <DrJ> hmm
Oct 27 00:33:05 <DrJ> does your router list it, possibly DHCP
Oct 27 00:33:11 <DrJ> try scanning the network for it
Oct 27 00:33:38 <DrJ> or just do the IP reset
Oct 27 00:33:39 <DrJ> yea
Oct 27 00:33:42 <DrJ> do that
Oct 27 00:34:19 <DrJ> I think that is holding down the back button for 10 seconds
Oct 27 00:49:03 <Labyr|nth> Here's a question... when I'm trying to unsling to a hard drive, the drive will not be formatted by the web interface.  It says it's formatting, but afterward is maintains it's "Not Formatted" status.  Any thoughts?
Oct 27 00:50:47 <nyef> Format the drive elsewhere instead?
Oct 27 00:51:08 <Labyr|nth> can i format it through the telnet connection?
Oct 27 00:51:17 <nyef> (Alternately, ISTR a vague reference to being able to enable telnet on some version of the stock firmware...)
Oct 27 00:51:38 <nyef> Try fdisk, and if that works, mke2fs -j.
Oct 27 00:53:28 <Labyr|nth> maybe this is a dumb question, but how do I find out which drive is connected... hda hdb ?
Oct 27 00:53:44 <nyef> dmesg might tell you.
Oct 27 00:54:08 <nyef> Oh, and because it's usb, it'll probably be sda for the first disk attached.
Oct 27 00:55:21 <Labyr|nth> i had some success with that... thanks
Oct 27 00:56:01 <nyef> No problem. Best of luck.
Oct 27 00:56:57 <Labyr|nth> what would be the appropriate mke2fs command?  mke2fs /dev/sda?
Oct 27 00:57:38 <nyef> I'd use -j as well, to get an ext3 filesystem... But I don't know how well that works for a 2.4 kernel, which ISTR unslung uses...
Oct 27 00:59:02 <Labyr|nth> writing inode tables... we'll see
Oct 27 01:04:53 <Labyr|nth> Hrmmm...I'm still coming up as not formatted
Oct 27 01:05:17 <nyef> Oh! Oops.
Oct 27 01:05:42 <nyef> fdisk /dev/sda, create a new primary partition the size of the disk, then mke2fs -j /dev/sda1.
Oct 27 01:05:44 <nyef> My mistake.
Oct 27 01:06:16 <Labyr|nth> okay... i'll check back in a few
Oct 27 01:13:50 <Labyr|nth> mke2fs: No such device or address while trying to determine filesystem size
Oct 27 01:28:17 <Labyr|nth> using telnet didn't really work for me... i gave it another reboot and it took the format
