**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Jul 28 23:59:56 2005 Jul 29 00:01:54 hi guys, i am experincing problems when my 'make build-openslug' tries to connect to microcom.port5.com Jul 29 00:02:12 the site seems to be unreachable Jul 29 00:02:23 are there some walkarounds ? Jul 29 00:22:27 03unslung * 10unslung/make/libdb.mk: Fixed a typo in the .staged target. Jul 29 00:23:02 03unslung * 10unslung/Makefile: Improved the packages target so that it doesn't rebuild the Packages file every time (and therefore doesn't have to rsync it every time). Jul 29 00:24:38 morning Jul 29 00:34:13 03nslu2-linux 07org.nslu2-linux.dev * rdf4429df... 10/Makefile: Improved the optware build targets Jul 29 00:34:16 03nslu2-linux 07org.nslu2-linux.dev * r818d61ce... 10/Makefile: Improved the OE import and export targets Jul 29 00:39:13 03nslu2-linux 07org.nslu2-linux.dev * rdb260654... 10/Makefile: Fixed the push-master target Jul 29 00:49:12 03nslu2-linux 07org.nslu2-linux.dev * r98c31e24... 10/Makefile: Added the upload-sources target for pushing sources to mirrors Jul 29 01:01:15 where can I find the latest builds? Jul 29 01:11:19 the lastest build is 2.3. Any more up-to-date than that you'll have to build yourself Jul 29 01:11:27 (or ask one of the devs to build) Jul 29 01:12:54 found the feeds under ipkg.nslu2-linux.org Jul 29 01:13:44 ah, the feeds :) Jul 29 01:18:42 is the flash image also built automatically every now and then? I need the newest kernel and installing it from a running slug w/o extra memory is not possible Jul 29 01:20:14 or do you know, does it overwrite old files == doesn't require more space? Jul 29 01:21:36 If you have rootfs on memstick/disk you can reflash the slug directly and reboot Jul 29 01:24:30 just installing it worked, upgraded... Jul 29 01:25:03 is there a lilo or equiv. command I have to run after installing a new kernel? Jul 29 01:26:18 reflash, to put it flash Jul 29 01:26:28 the kernel in the root fs isn't used Jul 29 01:26:38 (I think it was reflash, can't remember) Jul 29 01:26:56 ah Jul 29 01:27:18 the kernel you use is in flash, before the rootfs image Jul 29 01:28:28 can I do reflash even if my rootfs is on the flash? Jul 29 01:28:36 I have no external storage attached... Jul 29 01:28:53 There was a reason it wasn't recommended Jul 29 01:28:55 turnup ram first Jul 29 01:29:07 morning rwhitby Jul 29 01:29:19 g'day Jul 29 01:34:16 turnup ram == add swap ? Jul 29 01:42:17 type "turnup" end to get help Jul 29 01:44:07 ah, you meant the command =) Jul 29 01:44:14 trying... Jul 29 01:45:30 ipkg upgrade to pacakges with update-alternatives looks awesome.. Jul 29 01:52:03 yeah, ipkg install openslug-native is a sight to see ... Jul 29 01:56:17 anyone know what i need to do to the kernel and bootloader to get 128mb ram working? Jul 29 01:57:13 landslide: you need a new bootloader Jul 29 01:57:33 talk to ka6sox, dyoung, and [g2] Jul 29 01:57:55 easiest would be to use Apex and OpenSlug Jul 29 02:01:50 I'm not sure if there is a true FatSlug in existence yet (i.e. an NSLU2 with fat ram and updated firmware which takes advantage of the extra RAM). [g2] has a different board (same processor) which more ram, on which he tested the Apex bootloader and kernel changes for more ram I think. Jul 29 02:02:18 and I think ka6sox has the board modded, but doesn't have corresponding firmware to use the extra RAM Jul 29 02:05:02 oh. Jul 29 02:05:24 well i got a techo at work to stack 4x256Mbit SDRAM;s Jul 29 02:05:35 found them on an old handheld device we used to build. Jul 29 02:05:44 it should be possible to do right now - it's just that I don't think anyone has put the two parts together. You'd want to have jtag before you try it Jul 29 02:05:45 so i have 128mbit all up.. hopefully. Jul 29 02:06:01 yeah i have jtag, parallel xilinx cable. Jul 29 02:06:03 should be fine. Jul 29 02:06:15 landslide: which state are you in? Jul 29 02:06:18 doesn't work through vmware though.. spewing because i have a windose box. Jul 29 02:06:20 nsw. Jul 29 02:06:36 i'll take some photo's after dinner and post on the wiki Jul 29 02:06:41 he did a pretty good job. Jul 29 02:06:44 only 1 track lifted... Jul 29 02:06:48 if we get it to work I might have to send one over to you :-) Jul 29 02:06:55 but that was because we were impatient. Jul 29 02:06:58 * rwhitby-away is in sa Jul 29 02:07:04 ah, ok no worries. Jul 29 02:07:14 i have a few more chips. Jul 29 02:07:18 brb.. dinner. Jul 29 02:08:56 which board does g2 have? Jul 29 02:09:13 avila, and now his own "Loft" boards Jul 29 02:09:20 sweet Jul 29 02:09:42 03rwhitby 07org.openembedded.nslu2-linux * rd8210623... 10/ (26 files in 14 dirs): Jul 29 02:09:43 propagate from branch 'org.openembedded.dev' (head 5b3b49dca11386ffdcabc7c508ce03f473ccbd25) Jul 29 02:09:43 to branch 'org.openembedded.nslu2-linux' (head 51d2dac78130da993e3ca948652e93fee96807aa) Jul 29 02:26:40 http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/openslug/unstable/kernel-image-2.6.12.2_2.6.12.2-r4_nslu2.ipk Jul 29 02:26:54 is that the kernel I should use with the new usbhid and input modules? Jul 29 02:27:31 I think it's the one I'm running now, but I get the following from attaching a usb keyboard: Jul 29 02:27:33 usb 1-2.2: new low speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5 Jul 29 02:27:33 input: Unknown symbol hotplug_path Jul 29 02:27:33 input: Unknown symbol add_input_randomness Jul 29 02:27:33 usbhid: Unknown symbol input_unregister_device Jul 29 02:27:33 usbhid: Unknown symbol input_register_device Jul 29 02:27:34 usbhid: Unknown symbol input_event Jul 29 02:28:29 I've also installed the input and usbhid ipks Jul 29 02:29:04 Matta: that's the kernel and modules. You're testing it :-) Jul 29 02:29:48 yup, I'm testing it Jul 29 02:30:21 what might be causing the unknown symbol issue? Jul 29 02:31:15 cu Jul 29 02:32:50 just to make sure I'm running the right kernel, is r4 compiled on Thu Jul 28 07:38:46 PDT 2005 ? Jul 29 02:35:26 it was compiled about 15 to 20 hours ago Jul 29 02:36:01 I'm not running it, so I dunno what it prints out Jul 29 02:36:13 rwhitby-away: [g2] has a single fat slug. Jul 29 02:39:05 dyoung: ok, I thought he only had a fatavila. I stand corrected :-) Jul 29 02:40:26 k, then I'm running the right kernel Jul 29 03:29:22 03dyoung 07org.nslu2-linux.dev * r8fd5140e... 10/Makefile: Added hooks for mirror syncing Jul 29 04:13:34 is there a way to test my ram? Jul 29 04:14:30 on your pc or on your slug? Jul 29 04:14:36 slug., Jul 29 04:24:39 03daka 07org.openembedded.nslu2-linux * ra7d3ff00... 10/packages/perl/ (3 files in 2 dirs): Fix perl so (hopefully) it works on both arm and armeb Jul 29 04:28:02 rwhitby-away: did you include EVDEV in the kernel? Jul 29 04:28:15 I think it may cause the problem Jul 29 04:29:33 what's EVDEV ? Jul 29 04:30:06 # CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV is not set Jul 29 04:33:27 I thinkg it's the event input devices Jul 29 04:33:34 drivers/char/random.c Jul 29 04:33:44 provides input: Unknown symbol add_input_randomness Jul 29 04:35:03 CONFIG_HOTPLUG=y provodes hotplug_path Jul 29 04:35:07 is that enabled? Jul 29 04:35:35 the usbhid errors are due to input not being loaded, I believe Jul 29 04:51:22 UINPUT would also be a great addition, it enables user level input driver support, which would make lots of stuff available/doable without a new/recompiled kernel Jul 29 04:54:17 03rwhitby 07org.nslu2-linux.dev * rfb02ac05... 10/Makefile: Added new sources.nslu2-linux.org master mirror Jul 29 05:08:25 i am investigating use of a slug, a hard disk, and an external sound card in making a "froglogger," which records bird or frog sounds on a timer (e.g., 1 min at the top of the hour) for automation in biology field research... Jul 29 05:08:45 Cool! Jul 29 05:09:05 that sounds a bit like a Seal Counter i worked on a while ago. Jul 29 05:09:24 yeah, with IR i guess? Jul 29 05:09:30 I think some folks have made USB Audio work. Jul 29 05:09:47 no; this was at the beginning of the microcontroller era. Jul 29 05:09:51 ah Jul 29 05:10:06 so it was basically a rock with a clock and tipping switch. Jul 29 05:10:14 FrogLoggingSlug ! Jul 29 05:10:16 the idea was that seals like to play with rocks. Jul 29 05:10:29 so we chose one that was nice to play with. Jul 29 05:10:42 i was wondering if the two USB ports are used, could i make another port, like serial port i saw, for logging weather data? Jul 29 05:10:58 hehe Jul 29 05:11:39 but i am greenhorn in this, so maybe you can have multiple USB devices? Jul 29 05:11:49 you should be able to use a USB hub for the devices youre talking about. Jul 29 05:11:59 ah, good Jul 29 05:13:53 geojeff: you can get a usb headphones/microphone thingo Jul 29 05:14:18 it keeps coming back to that iMic thingo Jul 29 05:14:35 geojeff: write up your requirements at http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/FrogLoggingSlug Jul 29 05:14:53 rwhitby, ok. thanks. Jul 29 05:15:14 geojeff: your project has a level of "coolness factor" that I'm sure you will get lots of help! Jul 29 05:16:42 hehe, yeah, it could be that the cost could be low enough to deploy like 10 such frog/bird/weather loggers in the forest (or whereever) at a time. then use software filtering on all the audio to deal with daunting task of actually processing all that audio. Jul 29 05:18:07 glad to find the slug in thinking about this. Jul 29 05:18:44 hmm Jul 29 05:19:07 you should be able to make it super low power by using a big flash stick. Jul 29 05:19:18 battery powered Jul 29 05:19:47 then choose a format that can be easily converted to wav; throw it into Matlab, apply filters... no problem! Jul 29 05:22:00 yes, perhaps with big flash stick, could simply visit field each week, collect and change out flash sticks maybe, change batteries. Jul 29 05:23:08 this would be for like year-long study (for my thesis) Jul 29 05:25:29 that wiki is anonymous-only i gather? Jul 29 05:25:55 put in geojeff for the author Jul 29 05:25:57 oh, i just use geojeff as author name i guess Jul 29 05:25:59 yah Jul 29 05:40:47 someone as an idea why i cant't fetch ypserv-2.17.tar.bz2 ? Jul 29 05:41:13 my make build-openslug tries to fetch it from several sites Jul 29 05:42:07 but always get an error Jul 29 05:53:55 file is't found Jul 29 05:54:13 and checking sites i see it has been updated to 2.18 Jul 29 05:55:36 where can i change the download url for ypserv ? Jul 29 05:57:39 wget http://sources.nslu2-linux.org/sources/ypserv-2.17.tar.bz2 -O downloads/ypserv-2.17.tar.bz2 Jul 29 05:58:56 heh, fresh out of the oven Jul 29 06:05:02 but it still tries to get it from web ! Jul 29 06:06:26 and so continues to return the error Jul 29 06:06:43 where did the file that you downloaded end up? Jul 29 06:06:55 downloads/ Jul 29 06:13:51 wget the .md5 file too Jul 29 06:15:31 or md5sum it yourself.

Jul 29 07:15:26 they are lighter per power density than lead-acid. Jul 29 07:15:38 whichmight be an issue if the locations are remote.. Jul 29 07:19:29 Is it possible that apex is not in the package list yet? I get "ERROR: Nothing provides apex" when i do bb apex. Jul 29 07:20:01 apex is not in openslug-packages. cause it's not an openslug package :-) Jul 29 07:20:12 dope! :) Jul 29 07:20:31 you could just: bb -b openembedded/packages/apex/apex_1.2.19.bb Jul 29 07:20:43 maybe :) Jul 29 07:20:56 but it's built with bitbake right? Jul 29 07:21:51 oh well, it fails anyways: /bin/sh: /usr/armv5b-softfloat-linux/gcc-3.4.2-glibc-2.3.3/bin/armv5b-softfloat-linux-gcc: No such file or directory Jul 29 07:22:06 it's probably hard-coded somehow. Jul 29 07:23:00 looks like openembedded/packages/apex/nslu2/defconfig, but I never used it, so I don't know :) Jul 29 07:24:38 EXTRA_OEMAKE_append = " CROSS_COMPILE=${CROSS_DIR}/bin/${HOST_PREFIX}" Jul 29 07:24:50 that tells it the right path Jul 29 07:31:03 apex built fine, got a 31Kb apex.bin Jul 29 07:31:14 really? Jul 29 07:31:47 yep.. bb -b openembedded/packages/apex/apex_1.2.19.bb Jul 29 07:31:49 VoodooZ_Work: well I wouldn't have put it in there if it didn't build automatically for me Jul 29 07:32:46 of course. Jul 29 07:33:10 I tried Daka2 suggestion of bb -b openembedded/packages/apex/apex_1.2.19.bb. Unless that's wrong? How do you start it? Jul 29 07:33:44 There's been so many changes in the past month that I worry my configuration files are obsolete or something. Jul 29 07:35:32 I have an apex folder in my root. Is this old or? I also have one under openembedded/packages. Which one is good? Jul 29 07:36:14 where did the one in root come from? Jul 29 07:36:23 no idea. Jul 29 07:36:38 * VoodooZ_Work discreetly points at the Makefile Jul 29 07:37:50 I've deleted the root one. Jul 29 07:39:16 Ah, yeah, dyoung requested that one in the root stay there for some reason. Jul 29 07:39:49 really? Well a make update didn't bring it back so I guess somebody changed his mind somewhere. Jul 29 07:42:15 you have to call make setup-apex-developer specifically to get it Jul 29 07:43:28 It's getting messy. Jul 29 07:43:49 btw, it seems the CROSS_COMPILE is not getting set in the OE version. Jul 29 07:44:47 I've updated the oenote line to print the actual CROSS_COMPILE var and it comes up empty. Jul 29 07:49:05 indeed: I copied the "CROSS_COMPILE=${CROSS_DIR}/bin/${HOST_PREFIX}" line right before the make line of oe_runmake() and it now works. strange. Jul 29 08:11:17 Strange, my apex executable (in apex-1.2.19 folder) is 175K!. Is this because I use glibc? Jul 29 08:16:43 03rwhitby 07org.nslu2-linux.dev * r68ba94d8... 10/Makefile: Remove the morgue dirs before uploading Jul 29 08:17:56 jp30-work: ping Jul 29 08:24:26 just wondering, are you guys running Unslung or OpenSlug? Jul 29 08:27:03 depends Jul 29 08:27:24 Unslung and OpenSlug cater for different user groups Jul 29 08:36:01 how about you, rwhitby? Jul 29 08:38:18 depends what I'm testing. Jul 29 08:38:35 http://nslu2-linux.thestuffguy.com/gallery/slug-central/IMGP4012 Jul 29 08:41:53 wow! Jul 29 08:42:45 hmm i'm out of ideas here. in a sleepy stupor i managed to nuke /usr and i cant figure out how to get it back short of expanding the flash image section of that particular image on one of the other machines and then copying it over. that should work, no? Jul 29 08:43:15 cp -rip /initrd/usr /usr Jul 29 08:53:15 rwhitby-asleep: hmm. there's really nothing in that directory Jul 29 08:54:40 still can't reboot from hdd after unslinging a virgin hdd :( Jul 29 08:54:53 hey perl Jul 29 08:54:59 hi Jul 29 08:55:18 rebooting now without hdd Jul 29 08:55:23 we're talking 5.5, right? Jul 29 08:55:26 yep Jul 29 08:55:49 let's take this into #nslu2-general, ok? Jul 29 09:28:04 how do I create kernel module ipks? adding =m to to the kernel defconfig only builds them, doesn't create packages Jul 29 09:28:04 is there some easy way or does it require more hacking? Jul 29 09:55:27 Matta, adding =m to the defconfig creates and packages the modules. You then have to add them to your build by adding them to your local.conf Jul 29 09:57:23 edit your openslug/conf/local.conf to add the desired module package (ex. kernel-module-ov511) to the OPENSLUG_EXTRA_RDEPENDS line Jul 29 10:03:33 ah, ic, thx! Jul 29 10:12:08 is there a uClibc repository of the packages available somewhere, or am I forced to compile everything myself if I want to use it? Jul 29 10:18:35 not sure as I've always compiled everything by myself using glibc. Check the wiki as there is a repo of pre-compiled packages. Jul 29 10:20:16 yup, but they are all glibc... probably have to compile myself.. no biggie ;) Jul 29 10:20:44 sorry Jul 29 10:56:29 hi Jul 29 10:56:59 does anyone know how I can solve a configure test when cross-compiling a package? Jul 29 10:57:17 some tests won't run when in cross-compile mode and configure fails Jul 29 11:02:17 klen, search the configure script for the failing test and set the corrent value as a var option for configure. look in mt-daapd.mk for an example Jul 29 11:16:44 [cc]smart: can you take a look at slugbug 216? I'm wondering whether there should be a bug-fix release for OpenSlug-2.3-beta Jul 29 11:27:50 mt-daapd.mk? ok thanks perlguru Jul 29 11:28:41 <[cc]smart> sorry for me popping in and out... having some issues with my machine. will look at description of 216 now.

Jul 29 12:17:43 <[g2]> prototypes arrive in 2 weeks Jul 29 12:18:27 <[g2]> After I have picks and test the USB out I'll put up pictures and full specs and do a world-wide launch Jul 29 12:18:42 I might have some use for boxes like that... Jul 29 12:18:43 <[g2]> my production run of 200 units is in early Oct Jul 29 12:19:19 you have an announce list or something? Jul 29 12:19:28 <[g2]> here :) Jul 29 12:19:33 heh, k ;) Jul 29 12:19:43 <[g2]> $249 US for unit including metal case and PS but no CF Jul 29 12:20:03 <[g2]> it'll take 5-24V+ input Jul 29 12:20:07 <[g2]> and POE Jul 29 12:20:18 <[g2]> not both at the same time :) Jul 29 12:20:19 sweet Jul 29 12:20:52 from where are you doing/selling these? eu? us? Jul 29 12:21:01 <[g2]> US Jul 29 12:21:10 <[g2]> I'd think shipping to Finland would be pretty easy Jul 29 12:21:43 yup Jul 29 12:21:55 shouldn't be too much of a hassle Jul 29 12:22:35 how large is the internal flash memory? Jul 29 12:22:55 <[g2]> I'm gonna try to have default images for LAMP, E-Mail, Blogging sw availavle Jul 29 12:23:02 <[g2]> it's a .5MB flash that boots to CF Jul 29 12:23:20 <[g2]> and later on probably straight to USB Jul 29 12:23:50 ic Jul 29 12:23:53 <[g2]> the CF is so cheap it made more sense to me to not put flash onboard and use a CF instead Jul 29 12:24:09 <[g2]> so one should be able to plug in a microdrive too Jul 29 12:24:10 yup, probably Jul 29 12:27:32 <[g2]> Matta, if you msg me you e-mail I can send you the link to the web-site when I launch in a couple weeks Jul 29 12:28:17 nordstrom at realnode.com Jul 29 12:28:28 <[g2]> ok thx Jul 29 12:28:47 thx Jul 29 12:29:32 you can probably get more of them if I happen to find good use for them? Jul 29 12:30:10 <[g2]> I'm buying 1000 metal boxes :) Jul 29 12:30:21 heh, k Jul 29 12:30:46 <[g2]> I'm hoping someone finds a real good use for them :) Jul 29 12:31:18 a 1000 node superslug ;) Jul 29 12:31:32 <[g2]> just 200 to start Jul 29 12:31:52 <[cc]smart> slug based earth simulator cluster Jul 29 12:32:14 <[cc]smart> hey does seti run on this thing ? Jul 29 12:32:17 <[cc]smart> :) Jul 29 12:33:34 good idea, those library terminals can do some extra work on the side :) Jul 29 13:12:17 <[cc]smart> jbowler-away: which ML is that the bug report was taken from ? Jul 29 13:37:43 morning, dyoung Jul 29 13:44:52 morning. Jul 29 13:47:34 dyoung, ByronT and i were just looking at this bug about not being able to unsling twice to different disks because of a missing /dev.state dir... Jul 29 13:48:01 he mentioned he'd talked to you about it. i've added a slugbug describing our findings if you are interested Jul 29 13:48:10 Ok Jul 29 13:49:02 it is slugbug #224 Jul 29 13:49:11 I dont remember the details; but basically that rc. file was copying dev.state to dev even if .sdafooroot wasnt successful or something like that. Jul 29 13:52:12 mourning dyoung Jul 29 13:55:20 Good Plan Jul 29 14:02:13 heh Jul 29 14:42:30 03jp30 * 10unslung/ (make/dev-pts.mk sources/dev-pts/S05devpts): make dev-pts compatible with unslung 5.5 Jul 29 16:04:23 03rwhitby 07org.openembedded.nslu2-linux * re55d1a10... 10/packages/unionfs/unionfs-modules_1.0.13.bb: Banished version 1.0.13 of unionfs-modules until mickeyl finishes the job by committing the corresponding make.patch Jul 29 16:14:56 03rwhitby 07org.openembedded.nslu2-linux * rf54d4d54... 10/packages/unionfs/unionfs-utils_1.0.13.bb: Banished version 1.0.13 of unionfs-utils until mickeyl finishes the job by committing the corresponding make.patch Jul 29 16:14:59 03rwhitby 07org.openembedded.nslu2-linux * r1d24ccd1... 10/ (8 files in 7 dirs): Jul 29 16:14:59 propagate from branch 'org.openembedded.dev' (head 2c4036a31ef41e89a3bef730def510b4cfafbcf6) Jul 29 16:14:59 to branch 'org.openembedded.nslu2-linux' (head f54d4d54bd1c846d076892b41adde99980579f2d) Jul 29 17:03:33 anyone know if there's a unslug feed with acm.o kernel module already compiled? Jul 29 17:04:44 er unslung Jul 29 17:08:48 jumpkick, no, there's not, but you could build it yourself from source. if you don't want to build anything from source, you are asking in the wrong place Jul 29 17:13:30 hmm... are there non-obsolete build instructions? something newer then http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/OpenEmbedded/StepByStepSetup? Jul 29 17:15:06 [cc]smart: the yahoo nslu2-linux mailing list Jul 29 17:16:39 jumpkick: "wget http://www.nslu2-linux.org/Makefile ; make setup ; make unslung" Jul 29 17:17:02 cool thx Jul 29 17:17:24 ...you will need monotone installed too Jul 29 17:18:37 ...look in openembedded/packages/linux/unslung-kernel/defconfig for the kernel configuration Jul 29 17:20:12 jp30-work: how much disk do I put aside for it? (I'm making a VMware image) Jul 29 17:43:50 jumpkick: 2GB at least Jul 29 17:44:01 k thanks Jul 29 17:44:58 just the unslung build will use all of 2GB, 3 would be safer Jul 29 20:46:13 jp30: i made a 20 gb partition... i've just run out of space on my 4gb :( Jul 29 23:29:07 yo Jul 29 23:29:21 I built the serial cable using the modified-serial-cable instructions, using the siemens cable. Jul 29 23:29:30 however all I get over the serial line is garbage Jul 29 23:29:40 i am using the correct speeds and everything, and the serial line does work Jul 29 23:29:59 115200, 8N1, XON/XOFF disabled, software flow control enabled Jul 29 23:42:01 what are you connecting with? Jul 29 23:43:27 both minicom and xc produce the same results Jul 29 23:46:48 With minicom I have no flow control. Jul 29 23:47:02 115200,8n1 works for me Jul 29 23:47:37 the garbage is different with no flow control at all, but it's still garbage Jul 29 23:47:47 what does it look like? Jul 29 23:48:31 and when is this, at boot, or when its already running? Jul 29 23:49:02 the garbage I get is weird stuff from the echo Jul 29 23:49:03 And then what parts are in your serial cable? Jul 29 23:49:08 it's very little garbage Jul 29 23:49:24 if I type in a-z, I get this response "yssfefgoijknmno~yrsvuvw~yz" Jul 29 23:50:31 so this is at startup; or its already up and running? Jul 29 23:50:42 basically I'm wondering if youre seeing GDB Codes from redboot... Jul 29 23:50:46 which look like garbage. Jul 29 23:51:12 no, i have booted the unit, it's web-accessible, then connected serial port Jul 29 23:51:24 but it's the same if a boot with serial port connected already Jul 29 23:52:07 okay what parts are in your serial cable? Jul 29 23:59:10 it's a siemens C25 serial cable **** ENDING LOGGING AT Fri Jul 29 23:59:56 2005
