**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Apr 05 02:59:56 2010 Apr 05 10:14:55 hi all Apr 05 10:16:01 i have a "big" problem with a sheevaplug, now pretty bricked Apr 05 10:17:19 i've removed a couple of files via a sftp gui client and now it didn't even boot up... Apr 05 10:25:09 google around, there are tutorials on how to unbrick it Apr 05 10:25:20 but I guess u-boot is still intact Apr 05 10:26:44 ok, i'll try again. the fact is that is that even the ethernet lights remain fix, no blinking on boot Apr 05 10:27:00 have you connected serial ? Apr 05 10:28:47 so i really don't know how to talk with it. more: I've never connected the device via serial teminal to my laptop, now i cannot see it in dmesg but i don't now where the problem is Apr 05 10:29:29 i am using a mac here, and i try to connect the plug via a virtualized ubuntu installation Apr 05 10:31:04 because on osx when i try to load the FTDIUSBSerialDriver.kext i receive this error message: /System/Library/Extensions/FTDIUSBSerialDriver.kext failed to load - (libkern/kext) authentication failure (file ownership/permissions); check the system/kernel logs for errors or try kextutil(8). Apr 05 10:51:19 nothing to suggest me? Apr 05 11:01:10 not really, i connect through serial from linux directly never had a prolbem with it Apr 05 11:01:24 also there is a reinstaller somewhere Apr 05 11:15:49 the really weired thing is that ethernet lights are fixed, no blinking at all... Apr 05 11:46:43 if you nuked linux and only u-boot is active, not sure if the lights should be blinking Apr 05 14:30:48 lars__: You have to log in via serial console prior to the system booting from u-boot, it has to be prevented. Apr 05 14:35:15 comradekingu: so what do i have to do? I have to connect the usb without a/c connected? anyway, in a couple of hours the linux machine will come back home :) and i'll try again from there Apr 05 14:36:53 lars__: Boot up linux live and try to connect right after you plugged in the plug **** ENDING LOGGING AT Tue Apr 06 02:59:56 2010
