**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Jun 11 02:59:56 2008 Jun 11 03:01:39 mwester: thanks, it seems to copy some parts of rootfs into /dev/sda1 but it's my understanding that the scripts are supposed to mount some directories via /dev/sda1 if it exists, right? Jun 11 03:02:29 (from looking in scripts in /etc/ ) Jun 11 03:05:25 I actually used "umount /dev/sda1; mkfs.ext3 -b 1024 -f 1024 -m 5 -L root /dev/sda1" then "turnup disk -i /dev/sda1 -t ext3" Jun 11 03:17:57 brb Jun 11 03:35:41 RobNC: The "-i" flag copies the rootfs; otherwise it just validates that the rootfs looks like a real rootfs, and tries to use it -- which may or may not work. Jun 11 03:39:41 mwester: thanks, I believe that. That's why I unmounted, forced re-build of fs, then re-performed turnup to be sure. But on reboot, /dev/sda1 is mounted in /media/sda1 instead of / being mounted from /dev/sda1 Jun 11 03:40:22 (re-build of /dev/sda1 fs with "mkfs.ext3" command) Jun 11 03:42:09 What other devices do you have plugged in? Jun 11 03:45:11 The boot log shows only the /dev/sda device (no other sdX devices found). It is off the extra USB device I made but I don't think that's related (i.e., I have 5-port SLUG) as I moved it to the port besides the power (powered USB) and it still behaved the same way. The /dev/sda has two partitions: ~850MB ext3 and ~150MB swap. Jun 11 03:48:22 (hope it doesn't make a difference but I have 16MB flash, 256MB SDRAM, serial console, JTAG, etc.) Jun 11 03:50:31 Recent build of SlugOS? Jun 11 03:51:51 (There's been a nasty problem in OE that had a side-effect of breaking post-install scripts for some packages; udev was mentioned as one of those. Fixed now, but you'll have to rebuild from scratch) Jun 11 03:55:48 mwester: yes 4.10, using instructions here: http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/CrossCompileWithCentOS Jun 11 03:56:52 but I'm using slugosbe - not sure if it's affected. I also used slugimage to strip out redboot and apex and use my own build of Apex and Rod's 16MB custom RedBoot Jun 11 03:57:33 (needed 16MB flash support for RedBoot and Apex, and 256MB support for Apex) Jun 11 04:11:32 It would affect the packages built with which the rootfs is constructed, and all the packages in the SlugOS feeds. Jun 11 04:11:38 So, pretty bad problem. Jun 11 04:11:58 I suggest that you nuke your tmp directory, rebuild, and see if the problem persists. Jun 11 04:15:30 ok gotcha the make clobber Jun 11 04:15:59 I just did that last week, is the fix new to last week or this week? Jun 11 04:19:19 However, I'll try anything to try and get this problem fixed. Rebuilding takes about 6-10 hours from clean slate Jun 11 15:05:52 Hello guys, are the NSLU2's USB ports powered? Jun 11 15:10:28 yes Jun 11 15:17:03 mwester: Thanks Jun 11 16:08:37 Guys, I need hlp. I've just flashed Angstrom on my nslu2 but I cant telnet to it Jun 11 16:10:29 is anyone alive? Jun 11 16:26:02 NSLU2-IRC: i guess id call myself alive, but i have no clue with slugs Jun 11 16:27:05 :) Jun 11 16:27:28 any channel that can hlp me out? Jun 11 17:05:06 sonofnet: Angstrom is not ready for general use. It currently requires a serial console on the NSLU2. Jun 11 17:06:37 means adapter? Jun 11 17:07:11 what linux do u suggest? Jun 11 17:07:22 The steps are on the wiki - requires soldering a connector to an adaptor. Jun 11 17:07:45 Well, Angstrom is the very last on the list, unless you are a developer who is working on Angstrom. Jun 11 17:07:58 What is your need? That will determine what firmware to select. Jun 11 17:09:02 i need icq server, torrent client with web interface Jun 11 17:09:03 (since angstrom isn't even listed on the wiki home page, I have no idea how you came across the angstrom firmware...) Jun 11 17:09:49 Are you familiar with Linux already? Jun 11 17:09:52 oh and music streaming Jun 11 17:09:55 yeah Jun 11 17:10:06 but I'm on xp now Jun 11 17:10:35 which linux distribution? Jun 11 17:11:04 gentoo, ubuntu, lfs Jun 11 17:11:24 http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/FAQ/FirmwareMatrix will help you. Jun 11 17:13:48 wich one do u suggest, I dont want to use external drive for the root fs Jun 11 17:24:48 thx for the tip anyway Jun 11 17:26:50 sonofnet: There's only 8MB *TOTAL* flash memory inside the NSLU2; that's not nearly enough for the kernel, the core files, and the software you want. So you'll have no choice, you must have a disk or flash device external. Jun 11 17:54:50 I've flashed SlugOS/BE and by this howto http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/SlugOS/UsingTheBinary I tried to ssh via Putty, but connection is refused. What settings should I use for Putty? Jun 11 18:02:01 maybe you have to install ssh on slug like you have to do it on unslung Jun 11 18:02:23 try telnet Jun 11 18:03:58 telnet is not working, atleast its not working for me :) Jun 11 18:04:11 putty dies on my attempts Jun 11 18:04:35 did you enabled telnet in the webinterface? Jun 11 18:05:10 there is no web interface on SlugOS/BE Jun 11 18:05:16 oh Jun 11 18:05:26 didn't know Jun 11 18:05:42 can you ping your slug? Jun 11 18:07:55 yeah, ping is ok, less then 1ms Jun 11 18:37:43 can anyone give me a step-by-step howto on installing linux on my nslu2? I've tried Angstrom then SlugOS/BE now Unslung. But I'm not able to telnet to it. Even with the Unslung I cant fint the web interface. I'm using windows xp. Thanks in advance Jun 11 18:38:46 the wiki should tell you 99% of the stuff you need to know Jun 11 18:41:04 I guess I need that 1%? Jun 11 18:41:07 :0 Jun 11 18:44:03 sonofnet: flash the Linksys firmware. Follow the Linksys instructions to reset the unit to default settings, if you cannot reach the Linksys Web GUI. Once you get to the Linksys Web GUI, set *ALL* your network settings, including DNS servers. Reboot it. Ensure that you can still connect to the stock Linksys firmare. Jun 11 18:44:38 sonofnet: Once you have ensured that you can reliably connect each and every time to the stock firmware, then flash either Unslung, or SlugOS/BE -- it will use the same network settings. Jun 11 18:45:48 sonofnet: For step-by-step, see the README files with each firmware; they describe the steps. If something does not work at a given step, then you missed a prerequisite, or you have a network issue of some sort (or configuration problem with your SSH client on your XP box.) Jun 11 18:46:24 sonofnet: Avoid the use of wireless connections; they only cause trouble. Once you get it working with reliable wired connections, then messing about with wireless is reasonable. Jun 11 18:58:48 re where angstrom was found, i think angstrom is listed on the firmware page, which is really the best overview page.. Jun 11 20:13:00 how do I restore the original firmware on my nslu2? Jun 11 20:16:23 sonofnet, you can do it the same way you put the other firmware on, probably Jun 11 20:16:27 ie sercomm tool, uplsug2 Jun 11 20:18:56 I've flashed NSLU2_V23R63 but I'm not able to set my nslu2 via the cd, and I cant reach it via the web interface Jun 11 20:29:49 what do you mean with "set my nslu2 via the cd"? Jun 11 20:30:05 oh is NSLU2_V23R63 the original firmware? Jun 11 20:31:13 not the original, but its a linksys stock Jun 11 20:32:38 why don't you simply flash debian? ;-) Jun 11 20:40:39 cause I'm on xp now Jun 11 20:40:56 and I cant connect to the slug Jun 11 20:41:07 bb Jun 11 20:41:21 :/ **** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Jun 12 01:23:10 2008 **** ENDING LOGGING AT Thu Jun 12 02:59:57 2008
