Sep 13 03:11:16 <SuperRoach> Are you in here as well Ricky?
Sep 13 03:21:29 <SuperRoach> sorry, just getting back to it - I was looking for the uboot-custom.txt file. There is none in the /installer folder, if that is what's needed to be modified
Sep 13 03:35:10 <SuperRoach> referring to this post: http://plugcomputer.org/plugforum/index.php?topic=717.msg4411#msg4411
Sep 13 03:41:45 <tinker-f595> SuperRoach: the packager of installer 1.0 messed up and did not update the README.txt correctly.  The config files are now in sheevaplug-installer-v1.0/uboot/uboot-env
Sep 13 03:54:00 <SuperRoach> ah thank you
Sep 13 03:54:30 <SuperRoach> would a messed mac address stop it from booting and being visible?
Sep 13 03:58:18 <morfic> SuperRoach: how much do you see in serial console?
Sep 13 04:01:51 <tinker-f595> SuperRoach: I posted a response to the thread you linked to asking Rabeeh if he could get the README.txt corrected
Sep 13 04:03:10 <SuperRoach> morfic, I had a completed flash working last night. I logged in, then powered down for the night. Since then I havn't been able to successfully connect via serial yet
Sep 13 04:03:40 <SuperRoach> thanks tinker-f595 - the console dump from the working install was most helpful in tracking down problem by problem
Sep 13 04:04:14 <morfic> it's a scary thing this powering down over night, it's something i read a few times, googling for different things though
Sep 13 04:05:21 <tinker-f595> SuperRoach make sure the cable is correctly plugged into the plug.  I replaced my cable with a better quality on
Sep 13 04:05:24 <tinker-f595> oen
Sep 13 04:05:26 <tinker-f595> one
Sep 13 04:06:25 <morfic> SuperRoach: did you chown uucp /dev/ttyUSB0 (although, you did not say anything about any errors)
Sep 13 04:07:38 <morfic> with cu, everytime i lose the line i need to chown again or it won't connect, i guess i should just go and fix it so it's right when it get
Sep 13 04:07:42 <morfic> s plugged in ;)
Sep 13 04:07:55 <tinker-f595> try minicom
Sep 13 04:15:08 <SuperRoach> just trying the uucp
Sep 13 04:18:36 <SuperRoach> yeah thats odd - 0-2 range in uucp gives a no such file or directory
Sep 13 04:33:27 <SuperRoach> if chown uucp /dev/ttyUSB0 gives a cannot access/no such file or directory, tried 1 and 2 as well
Sep 13 04:33:42 <SuperRoach> - does that mean it's not mounting correctly?
Sep 13 04:35:18 <morfic> loaded modules?
Sep 13 04:40:57 <rektide> you should see dmesg telling you its connected /dev/ttyUSB*
Sep 13 04:41:03 <rektide> when you plug in
Sep 13 04:41:25 <rektide> if not, you probably need to tweak vendor & product module arguments
Sep 13 04:42:09 <SuperRoach> oblig: http://xkcd.com/327/
Sep 13 04:43:35 <SuperRoach> ill check dmesg
Sep 13 04:44:08 <morfic> http://www.openplug.org/plugwiki/index.php/Setting_up_Serial_Console_Under_Linux
Sep 13 04:45:52 <SuperRoach> not sure if it relevant, but previously I was using putty to connect to the openplug
Sep 13 04:48:06 <morfic> why not continue using what works?
Sep 13 04:52:40 <SuperRoach> because that's giving me an error about not being able to open it
Sep 13 04:54:07 <morfic> grab another cable like tinker-f595 said, check dmesg after you reconnect it, making sure your modules are loaded and your permissions ok
Sep 13 04:55:36 <morfic> your leds still come on?
Sep 13 04:55:55 <SuperRoach> Thanks Morfic :) I might grab another cable when i go home from the unconference. Heres what happens when i plug in the usb and reading /var/log/messages
Sep 13 04:55:58 <SuperRoach> http://pastie.org/615125
Sep 13 04:56:18 <SuperRoach> The led's are on and all working ok, and plugging it into a network can have it blink (ethernet too)
Sep 13 05:04:34 <morfic> http://pastie.org/615131
Sep 13 05:04:57 <morfic> even works on reboot w/o me giving it the vendor id
Sep 13 05:05:28 <SuperRoach> is that log from your machine?
Sep 13 14:58:45 <armin76> rabeeh: lennert: did you receive my mail? just asking because since it has 7mb, maybe it got filtered :)
Sep 13 15:29:11 <morfic> can i boot off the sdhc card in the plug?
Sep 13 15:30:37 <arachnist> hi, is there a channel for openrd?
Sep 13 15:30:45 <arachnist> #openrd is pretty empty
Sep 13 16:03:06 <armin76> morfic: you need a hacked u-boot for that
Sep 13 16:08:18 <morfic> armin76: just wondering, i might need to move my /boot to something not on the usb hdds, can /boot be on say sdc1 (a usb flash stick) and keep root=/dev/sda1 easily with u-boot
Sep 13 16:08:45 <morfic> i'd love to not enter pivot_root territory
Sep 13 16:10:02 <armin76> morfic: yes, but you may have problems with u-boot's ordering of the devices
Sep 13 16:12:25 <morfic> of course, i already nuked the slug /dev/sda1 when it came up as sda1 on plug, when it had been sdb1 on plug the previous umpteenth times, i just wanted the partition for /etc files, so it's not a big loss, but to avoid it, there is no sdb1 and sda1 anymore now
Sep 13 16:12:42 <morfic> my obsession with keeping the disks symetrical got me one too many times ;)
Sep 13 16:14:52 <morfic> armin76: http://plugcomputer.org/plugforum/index.php?topic=183.0 this a good source to look at
Sep 13 16:18:04 <morfic> i suppose so with a link to your dev space in it ;P
