Aug 25 08:40:23 <HRH_H_Crab> hmmm.
Aug 25 08:40:28 <HRH_H_Crab> my slug seems to be dying.
Aug 25 08:40:48 <HRH_H_Crab> im not really sure whats wrong with it and im getting frustrated trying to troubleshoot it.
Aug 25 08:41:03 <HRH_H_Crab> im slightly reluctant to replace it with another one, can anyone reccommend any similar device?
Aug 25 09:00:24 <Reedy> Sheevaplug seems to be the common one people are going for
Aug 25 09:00:31 <Reedy> lead time to get one is 4-6 weeks though
Aug 25 09:04:48 <HRH_H_Crab> hmmm
Aug 25 09:04:53 <HRH_H_Crab> not heard of that one
Aug 25 09:04:55 * HRH_H_Crab googles
Aug 25 09:06:50 <Appocomaster> o.O Crab
Aug 25 09:07:04 <HRH_H_Crab> lo Appocomaster 
Aug 25 09:09:09 <Appocomaster> ih
Aug 25 09:09:26 <Appocomaster> *hi. 
Aug 25 09:19:36 <fschmitt> Since yesterday, my nslu crashes whenever I plug in any USB device (printer, USB-Stick, disk). I guess it's bricked?
Aug 25 09:20:10 <fschmitt> I had unslung on it and just tried SlugOS but it's the same.
Aug 25 09:24:51 <HRH_H_Crab> fschmitt: if its any consolation mine seems to be going tits up too.
Aug 25 09:25:06 <HRH_H_Crab> woke up this morning and it was in perpetual rebooting mode! \o/
Aug 25 09:30:35 <fschmitt> Hmm. Seems some people have similar symptoms with broken power supply. I should have a lab power supply unit somewhere...
Aug 25 09:42:35 <HRH_H_Crab> yeah i might try that 
Aug 25 09:42:49 <HRH_H_Crab> but all my leds are on, and bright
Aug 25 09:42:58 <HRH_H_Crab> the main power lamp is on and bright
Aug 25 09:43:04 <HRH_H_Crab> and the lamp on the psu is bright!
Aug 25 09:43:21 <HRH_H_Crab> but i guess it couldnt hurt to buy a replacement and see if it makes a difference.
Aug 25 09:43:43 <HRH_H_Crab> the one thing which makes me think that could be it, was that all the problems seemed to start about a week after i had attached a usb wireless nic,
Aug 25 09:43:58 <HRH_H_Crab> which presumably increased the work that the psu had to do quite considerably.
Aug 25 09:47:27 <HRH_H_Crab> hmmm. just reading the powersupply stuff on nslu2-linux.
Aug 25 09:47:30 <HRH_H_Crab> maybe there is hope.
Aug 25 13:15:03 <tmadsen> hi guys, I'm doing a project involving communication with the USB port on an NSLU2. I've been told that I need a kernel module called cdc-acm. I've read that it should be included in the linux kernel, but I guess that the kernel SlugOSBE uses does not include it, at least I can't find it anywhere on the box. Can anyone tell me where to get this kernel module?
Aug 25 13:30:15 <HRH_H_Crab> tmadsen: you'll prob. need to compile it i guess.
Aug 25 13:34:17 <tmadsen> from where? HRH_H_Crab, do you know?
Aug 25 13:34:31 <tmadsen> I can't find it anywhere using google
Aug 25 13:34:37 <HRH_H_Crab> tmadsen: well, your first step would be to find kernel source for SlugOS
Aug 25 13:34:43 <HRH_H_Crab> and then you would need a toolchain.
Aug 25 13:34:51 <HRH_H_Crab> but i cant help much as i don't use SlugOs.
Aug 25 13:35:14 <tmadsen> Ok, I was given the impression that I should just find it on the web
Aug 25 13:35:42 <tmadsen> so I was hoping it would be a package that I could just download, but as I said ... can't find it :/
Aug 25 13:36:44 <HRH_H_Crab> http://www.slug-firmware.net/
Aug 25 13:36:53 <HRH_H_Crab> there is a link for slugos source code on there,
Aug 25 13:37:13 <HRH_H_Crab> but building kernel modules (esp. on embedded systems) may not be trivial for the uninitiated.
Aug 25 13:37:28 <HRH_H_Crab> your best bet could be to try and get in touch with the slugos devs.
Aug 25 13:37:37 <HRH_H_Crab> maybe you can get someone to build it for you.
Aug 25 13:37:50 <tmadsen> ok, thanks for your help
Aug 25 13:38:01 <HRH_H_Crab> (disclaimer: i have no idea if that code contains the source code for that kernel module)
Aug 25 17:13:42 <HRH_H_Crab> fschmitt: i bought a new psu and it booted first time!
Aug 25 17:14:07 <HRH_H_Crab> i think that was the problem.
Aug 25 17:14:40 <HRH_H_Crab> couldnt believe it because all the lamps were looking really good, but i guess looks can deceive.
Aug 25 17:14:49 <HRH_H_Crab> anyway, we'll see what happens over the next couple of days.
