**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Mar 22 02:59:57 2009 Mar 22 09:32:41 Hello i am trying to flash my nslu2 with slugosbe 4.8 but after flashing nslu2 reboot and orange led blinking nothing else happens. flashing slugos 5.3 and unslung 6.10 works fine Mar 22 10:52:05 Sleeping? Mar 22 11:10:21 I am trying to flash my nslu2 with slugosbe 4.8 but after flashing nslu2 reboot and orange led blinking nothing else happens. flashing slugos 5.3 and unslung 6.10 works fine Mar 22 18:56:36 I cant flash my nslu2 with slugosBE 4.8, After flash the status led flashes orange and then nothing else happens. Flashing slugosBE 5.3 and unslung 6.10 works fine, but i want slugosBE 4.8 :) anyone got an idea what can be the problem? Mar 22 19:02:16 anyone? Mar 22 19:02:36 why 4.8 not 5.3? Mar 22 19:04:05 i have a file that worked with 4.8 but not with 5.3 Mar 22 19:04:18 A file being what? Mar 22 19:04:59 a program newcs, a card sharing program Mar 22 19:05:09 Whats it depend on? Mar 22 19:05:15 /use/written in? Mar 22 19:05:29 i have no idea :) Mar 22 19:05:36 lol Mar 22 19:05:43 :) Mar 22 19:06:10 did work on 4.8 Mar 22 19:06:52 so i really would want 4.8 again but i tried at least 10 times to flash it with same result Mar 22 19:07:19 even tried to flash unslung first and then back to 4.8 Mar 22 19:08:38 and if i restart it after flash the led is orange not blinking Mar 22 19:33:18 How is it breaking on 5.3 ? Mar 22 19:33:19 (: Mar 22 19:34:14 I think Niclas doesn't have something installed on 5.3 that he needs for whatever it is to work; at least that's what it sounded like yesterday. Mar 22 19:35:04 It sounds like something that is easier fixable than the flashing issue (: Mar 22 19:35:24 I would think so. Mar 22 19:36:00 * Reedy notes why he asked those questions ;) Mar 22 19:44:52 im back :) Mar 22 19:45:28 i really like 5.3 so if i can get it to work on that i would be very happy :) Mar 22 19:45:49 do you get any errors when you run your program? Mar 22 19:46:25 first i got a permission error - solved with chmod 777 Mar 22 19:46:39 after chmod i got "file not found Mar 22 19:48:09 and i am in right dir and typing it right, i made a script that would type a text on the screen and that works :) Mar 22 19:50:00 i have this file for other types of linux and when i tried one of them i got a real error Mar 22 19:50:43 Niclas: what is the output from the command: "head -1 /path/to/program" Mar 22 19:50:43 ? Mar 22 19:53:04 wait Mar 22 19:54:59 ELFa(ба4 Mar 22 20:02:15 ok. opkg install file ldd Mar 22 20:02:35 then tell me what the output of "file /path/to/program" Mar 22 20:02:44 and what "ldd /path/to/program" Mar 22 20:02:46 says. Mar 22 20:06:55 root@UTDXB:/home# ldd /home/newcs.nslu2 Mar 22 20:07:48 hmm Mar 22 20:09:21 usr/bin/ldd: eval: line 1: /home/newcs.nslu2: not found Mar 22 20:10:36 root@UTDXB:/home# file /home/newcs.nslu2 Mar 22 20:10:36 home/newcs.nslu2: ELF 32-bit MSB executable, ARM, version 1, for GNU/Linux 2.4.0, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped Mar 22 20:16:10 Niclas: opkg install binutils-symlinks Mar 22 20:16:44 readelf -h /bin/bash | grep Flags Mar 22 20:16:57 readelf -h /home/newcs.nslu2 | grep Flags Mar 22 20:17:41 i suspect you're trying to run an OABI binary on EABI platform (slugos 5.3) Mar 22 20:18:33 if that's the case, you better recompile newcs Mar 22 20:21:41 root@UTDXB:/home# readelf -h /bin/bash | grep Flags Mar 22 20:21:41 Flags: 0x4000002, has entry point, Version4 EABI Mar 22 20:21:41 root@UTDXB:/home# readelf -h /home/newcs.nslu2 | grep Flags Mar 22 20:21:41 Flags: 0x202, has entry point, GNU EABI, software FP Mar 22 20:22:41 Niclas: this confirms my theory Mar 22 20:23:22 what should i do now then? Mar 22 20:23:39 do you have the build recipe for newcs? Mar 22 20:23:55 no i dont think so Mar 22 20:24:11 is it open source? Mar 22 20:24:56 as far as i know i dont think so Mar 22 20:26:14 are there difference between 4.8 and 5.3 Mar 22 20:27:02 big difference, ABI (binary interface) has changed Mar 22 20:27:12 without source, you're stuck Mar 22 20:27:46 so i am back to the problem that i cant flash my slug with 4.8 :( Mar 22 20:37:49 !leave Mar 22 20:41:16 Niclas: you'll have to flash the original Linksys firmware, and follow the procedure to reset to factory defaults. Mar 22 20:42:25 ok will try Mar 22 20:48:53 hoh.. I need to buy more of these slugs. I just bought one yesterday and popped the case off today. My gosh.. I need more of these babies :D Mar 22 20:49:26 Depending on where you are.. you might be hard pushed Mar 22 20:50:05 Reedy: They had atleast 20 of 'em standing on the shelf in the store :) **** ENDING LOGGING AT Mon Mar 23 02:59:57 2009
