Dec 13 03:05:04 sata + gigEther Dec 13 03:58:05 03bzhou * r4668 10optware/trunk/make/getmail.mk: getmail: 4.6.5 -> 4.6.6; added py-getmail-common py25-getmail subpackages Dec 13 10:37:49 howdy Dec 13 10:59:24 howdy placid_ Dec 13 11:03:54 well I was going to ask first but after a "mishap" I've decided to replace unslung with the new debian installer Dec 13 11:05:55 it seems to boot a lot faster than cyrius indicates but I assume that is because I clipped the resistor Dec 13 11:30:02 can someone give me guidance on upgrade from unslung to debian? Dec 13 11:34:43 I've flashed etch rc1 and after reboot it briefly gets an ip address from my router but then becomes unreachable a few seconds later Dec 13 11:36:28 when the installer gives three long beeps I have no connectivty Dec 13 11:38:32 if I reflash unslung it works but that's not what I want Dec 13 12:36:21 yes I was speechless too Dec 13 12:41:28 me too - sorry I have no idea Dec 13 12:41:39 heh Dec 13 12:44:54 aha switching to original firmware as a base and setting ip address static did the trick Dec 13 12:45:11 maybe only one of those is required but I'm not revisiting it Dec 13 12:48:15 ok installer has kicked off. something wrong with the encoding by the looks as borders are weird chars Dec 13 12:52:50 switched from iso-8859-1 to utf-8 and display is clean Dec 13 13:03:09 cyrius should add what the last manual prompt is before it goes into the long haul Dec 13 13:03:48 appears to be creation of normal user acct Dec 13 13:50:35 03oleo * r4669 10optware/trunk/ (2 files in 2 dirs): transmisison: svn update to r1189 Dec 13 16:49:09 03bzhou * r4670 10optware/trunk/Makefile: promoted mxml, assume it is intentional to use static .a lib instead of shared .so lib Dec 13 20:03:44 bummer that didn't get far overnight. I assume I want the standard system recipe for the debian install Dec 13 21:12:36 install complete. rebooting Dec 13 21:22:17 hmm long reboot Dec 13 21:22:46 status is steady orange and ethernet is flickering green Dec 13 21:32:31 placid: this is the normal status for my debian slug Dec 13 21:40:38 hmm no disk status light and no ip address Dec 13 21:41:17 cold starting Dec 13 21:42:13 I've got disk activity but the disk1 light doesn't come on Dec 13 21:42:28 placid: the same happens on my slug Dec 13 21:42:34 k Dec 13 21:42:51 disk lights never go on Dec 13 21:43:32 ok well that is just some largely superfluous low level hardware stuff I assume Dec 13 21:43:59 it may be superflous, but I miss it Dec 13 21:44:05 true Dec 13 21:44:23 I'm more concerned about not getting an ip address Dec 13 21:44:51 are you using dhcp or static? Dec 13 21:44:55 dhcp Dec 13 21:45:21 actuallly I set it to static based on what it got from dhcp before uploaded etch Dec 13 21:46:17 disk was previously unslung but I cleaned it up before starting (but retained a bunch of media files) Dec 13 21:47:15 my slug was set up using bootstrap, but I upgraded it to the d-i setup Dec 13 21:47:21 not looking good Dec 13 21:47:40 I assume I have to reimage to get to recovery console? Dec 13 21:48:00 I guess so Dec 13 21:48:16 can you mount the disk on another Linux box? Dec 13 21:48:27 yeah I'll have a sticky beak Dec 13 21:54:16 some things to watch: one is /etc/network/interfaces Dec 13 21:54:29 make sure it's got the right ip address Dec 13 21:58:04 looks okay Dec 13 21:58:58 another: set BOOTLOGD_ENABLE=Yes on /etc/default/bootlogd Dec 13 21:59:15 place the disk back on the slug and reboot Dec 13 21:59:32 wait a few minutes, turn it off, mount the disk Dec 13 22:00:07 look for clues at /var/log/boot Dec 13 22:13:17 lastlog and faillog are large but full of 00 Dec 13 22:13:27 ie binary 0 Dec 13 22:14:21 and boot says (Nothing has been logged yet.) Dec 13 22:14:43 lastlog is always binary Dec 13 22:14:53 yeah but its got nada in it Dec 13 22:15:26 the lastlog is used to log the last n users that logged into the machine Dec 13 22:15:34 oh ok Dec 13 22:15:54 seem to be stuffed fairly early in the process Dec 13 22:16:09 going to try again to confirm datestamps on the drive are being touched Dec 13 22:18:26 BTW, could it be that you have the problem with the rtc that was mentioned in the group Dec 13 22:18:46 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/nslu2-linux/message/16297 Dec 13 22:20:38 well my reboot involves an air gap Dec 13 22:30:09 hmm nothing changed at all so I assume the drive is not being recognised ala the disc id swapping issue Dec 13 22:31:19 the debian setup uses initrd, something must be wrong with the boot scripts Dec 13 22:31:30 lot more disc activity this time Dec 13 22:34:08 any luck trying to login? Dec 13 22:34:20 I don't even get an ip address Dec 13 22:36:08 time to reimage again I think Dec 13 22:40:05 since you've got some disk activity, check if /var/boot/log has something Dec 13 22:40:14 I mean /var/log/boot Dec 13 22:40:16 nothing at all Dec 13 22:42:30 I did the first try using disk1. now trying disk2 Dec 13 22:42:45 try posting a message to the list, maybe Martin can help you Dec 13 22:43:03 yeah I'll work it a bit more first. thanks for your help! Dec 13 22:43:33 I have to leave now, I'll try to get back here later tonight Dec 13 22:43:44 thanks dude Dec 14 00:58:57 placid: hi, any luck if your install?
