Jul 14 07:55:34 <freezer> hi
Jul 14 07:56:26 <freezer> is there any great difference between the nslu2 and the Asus WL-500G Premium, except of the processor?
Jul 14 08:46:35 <Wipmac> hi all
Jul 14 08:47:23 <Wipmac> my nslu2 doesnt boot from the usb-hdd anymore (unslung 6.8), it aint even recognizing any disk connected (the disk-led not lightning up). my data still is on the hdd, checked under linux. any idea why all this happens?
Jul 14 09:08:09 <xkr47> does it boot without the hdd ?
Jul 14 09:16:15 <Wipmac> xkr: nope, at least i cant access its web-page. and i cant ping it
Jul 14 09:18:13 <Wipmac> what do you think?
Jul 14 09:27:59 <Wipmac> do i need to re-flash the nslu2? re-unsling?
Jul 14 14:05:40 <mwester> freezer: check the wiki.   http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Optware/Platforms
Jul 14 14:05:52 <mwester> The differences are vast
Jul 14 17:11:11 <osas> ipkg-make-index seems to be the tool :-)
Jul 14 19:32:42 <CIA-8> 03bzhou * r6387 10optware/trunk/ (make/ntp.mk sources/ntp/ntpd-ifupdate2.patch): ntp: applied upstream patch https://support.ntp.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=829 according to nslu2-linux/message/19244
Jul 14 20:16:39 <Wipmac> hi all
Jul 14 20:17:36 <Wipmac> i have access to the nslu2 (unslung 6.8) via telnet, but the Disk-2 LED is not lightning up, and i cant access the disk. whats wrong? i just did a fresh re-flash of unslung 6.8.
Jul 14 20:20:00 <caplink811-log> does this enclosure works on port1?
Jul 14 20:21:35 <Wipmac> port 2
Jul 14 20:21:44 <Wipmac> didnt try port 1
Jul 14 20:22:26 <caplink811-log> you should try it, maybe the usb port is wrong, maybe the enclosure dies
Jul 14 20:23:02 <Wipmac> hmm..lemme try
Jul 14 20:25:54 <Wipmac> nogo
Jul 14 20:26:09 <Wipmac> hmmm
Jul 14 20:26:26 <caplink811-log> this enclosure works a. on a pc, and b. before on the nslu?
Jul 14 20:26:50 <Wipmac> this enclosure worked on the nslu2 for over 1 year and it still works on a pc... strange
Jul 14 20:26:56 <caplink811-log> k
Jul 14 20:27:14 <Wipmac> just did a fresh 6.8 reflash
Jul 14 20:27:27 <caplink811-log> are there 2 processes (ps -ef) named usb_detect (oder so ähnlich)?
Jul 14 20:28:51 <Wipmac> yes both process running. but unslung seems to be running from internal flash now after the reflash
Jul 14 20:29:01 <Wipmac> i will have to re-unsling it right?
Jul 14 20:29:24 <caplink811-log> sure, but 1st, the case should be detected by the nslu2
Jul 14 20:29:32 <Wipmac> grr..true
Jul 14 20:30:02 <caplink811-log> what about dmesg, anything about usb drivers?
Jul 14 20:31:10 <Wipmac> can i paste u the msg of dmesg somewhere? lots of usb stuff here ;)
Jul 14 20:31:29 <caplink811-log> rafb.net/paste
Jul 14 20:34:05 <Wipmac> pasted
Jul 14 20:34:34 <Wipmac> http://rafb.net/p/GVfpmI72.html
Jul 14 20:34:53 <Wipmac> thx for checking!
Jul 14 20:38:42 <Wipmac> what u think?
Jul 14 20:38:56 <caplink811-log> nothing about usb-storage
Jul 14 20:39:26 <mwester> usb.c: USB device not accepting new address=2 (error=-71)  <------ suspicious
Jul 14 20:39:42 <caplink811-log> morning, mike :)
Jul 14 20:39:51 <mwester> Greetings
Jul 14 20:44:15 <caplink811-log> stupid question, the case is self-powered, and the power switch is on?
Jul 14 20:49:08 <Wipmac> yes it is
Jul 14 20:49:17 <Wipmac> weired
Jul 14 20:50:25 <Wipmac> checked another usb cable
Jul 14 20:50:28 <Wipmac> still nogo
Jul 14 20:50:45 <mwester> unplug all cables from everything, let sit for one minute or so, then re-plug everything.  Finish up by powering up the NSLU2, telneting in, and then power up the external disk, wait 15 secs, then plug into NSLU2.  See what changes, if anything.
Jul 14 20:53:10 <Wipmac> rebooting nslu2 only, hdd is off, not connected (yet)
Jul 14 20:55:29 <Wipmac> still booting (?)
Jul 14 20:55:36 <Wipmac> beep :)
Jul 14 20:56:08 <Wipmac> telnet seems disbaled now (even though i turned it on before reset)
Jul 14 20:56:28 <Wipmac> web-ui shows telnet  as "enabled" (?)
Jul 14 20:56:36 <Wipmac> dis-and re-enable enables me to tolenet it
Jul 14 20:56:39 <Wipmac> telnet
Jul 14 20:57:49 <Wipmac> nslu2 blinking wild (still cant telnet into it)
Jul 14 20:58:35 <Wipmac> looks like it reboots..hmm
Jul 14 20:58:51 <mwester> Web gui is often cached, so the status initially shows up wrong.  Telnet is always disabled upon boot.  (perhaps we should add the meta tag info to not cache that page?)
Jul 14 20:59:11 <Wipmac> i see!
Jul 14 21:02:26 <Wipmac> telnet in
Jul 14 21:02:45 <Wipmac> start hdd, wait 15 sec, connect it to nslu2, ready-led goes yellow
Jul 14 21:02:50 <Wipmac> disk-led still not on
Jul 14 21:03:18 <Wipmac> guess my nslu2 is dying
Jul 14 21:04:20 <Wipmac> wild-yellow-ready-led-blinking going on
Jul 14 21:04:39 <Wipmac> AND my telnet-window died!
Jul 14 21:04:41 <Wipmac> ?
Jul 14 21:04:56 <Wipmac> Lost connection to host
Jul 14 21:07:25 <Wipmac> nslu2 seems to be constantly rebooting again and again (no beeps though, just some wil blinking on ready led and ethernet=
Jul 14 21:08:26 <caplink811_log> this happens only if you plug in the external storage device?
Jul 14 21:08:31 <Wipmac> yes
Jul 14 21:08:59 <Wipmac> lemme just unplug it again..see waht happens
Jul 14 21:09:26 <caplink811_log> do you have any other usb storage available, mem stick e.g.?
Jul 14 21:10:22 <Wipmac> yes, lemme try a stick
Jul 14 21:10:29 <Wipmac> port 1 or 2?
Jul 14 21:10:48 <Wipmac> but its ntfs formatted..
Jul 14 21:11:28 <Wipmac> now after disconnecting the hdd nslu2 booted successfully, i didnt reboot it , it just did it on its own :)
Jul 14 21:11:33 <caplink811_log> whatever, the question is, could the nslu recognise a device on the usb port
Jul 14 21:11:38 <Wipmac> or it succefully finished booting
Jul 14 21:15:26 <Wipmac> how can i check if the nslu2-usb-port accepts ntfs-drives?
Jul 14 21:17:13 <caplink811_log> well, the question is, could your nslu recognise a device on one of the usb ports without rebooting/bad behavior.
Jul 14 21:17:41 <caplink811_log> just plug the stick in port1 a see what happens
Jul 14 21:18:19 <Wipmac> wish i could find that stick :(
Jul 14 21:19:21 <caplink811_log> any other device, card reader, e.g.
Jul 14 21:19:31 <Wipmac> usb-hub?
Jul 14 21:19:39 <caplink811_log> no
Jul 14 21:19:43 <Wipmac> :(
Jul 14 21:20:26 <Wipmac> mobile phone?
Jul 14 21:20:46 <caplink811_log> dunno
Jul 14 21:22:39 <Wipmac> whenever i insterd the hdd into the nslu2 also the hdd-green-led goes "off". and nslu2 showing bad behaviour
Jul 14 21:22:57 <Wipmac> but now the disk-led is on .
Jul 14 21:23:06 <Wipmac> and off (on the nslu2)
Jul 14 21:23:27 <Wipmac> on again
Jul 14 21:23:56 <Wipmac> but ready-led is off (sorry for bugging you with such a crap"!)
Jul 14 21:25:09 <mwester> That's ok.  Wait until we send you the bill ;)
Jul 14 21:25:19 <Wipmac> so if the nslu2-behaviour will get better with a usb-stick, than its my hdd, if the behaviour stays the same its my nslu2?
Jul 14 21:25:44 <Wipmac> mwester ;)
Jul 14 21:26:00 <caplink811_log> or a combination of your nslu/unslung-6.8
Jul 14 21:26:13 <Wipmac> but i just reflashed 6.8 today...
Jul 14 21:26:22 <Wipmac> and the same 6,8 used to work for months for me
Jul 14 21:28:50 <caplink811_log> hm, maybe, that reset sysconf and reflash gives a better result
Jul 14 21:30:21 <Wipmac> so u suggest i do a reset sysconf before i reflash..ok lemme do that
Jul 14 21:30:39 <caplink811_log> its just an idea..
Jul 14 21:30:51 <Wipmac> np i love flashing ;)
Jul 14 21:31:11 <caplink811_log> assuming, that you use sercomm or upslug2
Jul 14 21:32:25 <Wipmac> sercom
Jul 14 21:32:29 <caplink811_log> k
Jul 14 21:42:52 <Wipmac> after reset sysconf and reflash should i boot the nslu2 without hdd and connect the hdd only after successful nslu2 bootboot?
Jul 14 21:43:06 <caplink811_log> yes
Jul 14 21:51:58 <Wipmac> aargh..same behaviour on connecting the usb-hhd: hdd-green-led-goes off and nslu2 behaving badly.
Jul 14 21:52:33 <Wipmac> my last chance is a usb-stick test i guess
Jul 14 21:54:29 <Wipmac_> re
Jul 14 21:57:31 <Wipmac_> what ext3-driver you guys prefer under xp in order to check usb-drives from nslu2's? 
Jul 14 22:21:48 <StylusEater> I unslung my device using the directions from the wiki with the latest unslung-6.8-beta but whenver I attempt to set DNS information in the web interface it doesn't work... trying to remedy this problem with making resolv.conf allows me to resolv names but for some reason I cannot do an ipkg update
Jul 14 22:22:10 <StylusEater> am I missing something?
Jul 14 22:22:26 <StylusEater> ohhh whoops this in devel... I apologize
