Oct 09 21:24:06 <Majost> Anyone know if the “Professional Upgrade Kit“ is coming anytime soon?
Oct 09 21:25:53 <Tootoot222> globalescale removed their announcement about it on their site...
Oct 09 21:26:15 <Tootoot222> because it said "in the coming weeks (not months!) we will be releasing..." and they never released it lol
Oct 09 21:27:19 <Majost> yeah
Oct 09 21:27:21 <ShadowJK> What was the "professional upgrade kit"?
Oct 09 21:27:22 <Majost> I noticed that
Oct 09 21:27:36 <Majost> ShadowJK,  vaporware apparently
Oct 09 21:27:53 <ShadowJK> I got that
Oct 09 21:28:03 <ShadowJK> but what was it supposed to be?
Oct 09 21:28:03 <Majost> they claimed it was going to be the fix for the guruplug heat issues
Oct 09 21:28:17 <Tootoot222> ShadowJK: it was meant to be a way to install something that would fix the guruplug's overheating
Oct 09 21:28:22 <Tootoot222> some hardware
Oct 09 21:28:43 <Tootoot222> which from the looks of the new guruplugs shipping out of globalescale atm, it would have been a fan and a piece of tape
Oct 09 21:28:46 <Tootoot222> lol
Oct 09 21:28:50 <Tootoot222> probably another warentee sticker too
Oct 09 21:28:59 <Majost> heh
Oct 09 21:29:07 <Majost> yeah... that fan wont do crap
Oct 09 21:29:08 <Majost> heh
Oct 09 21:30:01 <ShadowJK> guruplugs have fans?
Oct 09 21:30:09 <Tootoot222> the brand new ones do
Oct 09 21:30:13 <Tootoot222> but only the guruplug plus
Oct 09 21:30:28 <ShadowJK> my PC case has a top 12cm fan, I have my sheevaplug on the grille of that.. heh
Oct 09 21:31:01 <Majost> yeah, I did that too for a while
Oct 09 21:31:03 <ShadowJK> So is it the PSU in it overheating or the SOC or something else?
Oct 09 21:31:35 <Majost> but that also means I have to have another computer powered on to cool it... which doesn't make sense
Oct 09 21:31:36 <Majost> heh
Oct 09 21:31:46 <Majost> SOC/CPU
Oct 09 21:31:52 <Majost> primarily
Oct 09 21:32:17 <Tootoot222> it's the ethernet
Oct 09 21:32:28 <Tootoot222> it can't handle running dual gigabit without overheading the cpu
Oct 09 21:32:50 <Majost> It cant handle single GBit
Oct 09 21:33:01 <Tootoot222> yeah, they said it could do 1gbe/100mbps
Oct 09 21:33:05 <Tootoot222> just not both
Oct 09 21:33:33 <Majost> I have just one gbe connected, and it overheated and corrupted my install while I was trying to install cups
Oct 09 21:33:34 <Majost> heh
Oct 09 21:33:58 <ShadowJK> Does it have any heatsinks?
Oct 09 21:34:17 <Majost> I tore the heat plate off -- the CPU puts out a lot more heat than the PHY
Oct 09 21:34:35 <Majost> I wouldn't call it a heat sink
Oct 09 21:34:48 <ShadowJK> so just a piece of flat metal?
Oct 09 21:35:02 <ShadowJK> could you glue a bigger heatsink onto it?
Oct 09 21:35:06 <Majost> its a light piece of aluminum that they pressed out to make better contact with the CPU, PHY and RAM
Oct 09 21:35:08 <Majost> yeah
Oct 09 21:35:17 <Majost> I ordered some 14MM sinks today
Oct 09 21:35:19 <ShadowJK> a fan is nice and all, but it kinda defeats the advantage of sheeva over atom boards
Oct 09 21:35:40 <Majost> but in doing so, I wont be able to close the case unless I get an external PSU
Oct 09 22:02:58 * kerio had no troubles with a sheevaplug, doing gbit E
Oct 09 22:05:17 <Majost> can anyone recommend a link to a good uboot replacement for the guru?
Oct 09 22:58:40 <Majost> grrr
Oct 09 22:58:50 <Majost> I can't see to reinstall Debian on my pluh
Oct 09 22:58:54 <Majost> er plug
Oct 09 22:59:03 <Majost> I've done it multiple times before
Oct 09 22:59:35 <Majost> but I keep getting the stupid unsupported machine ID error
Oct 09 23:15:26 <kerio> are you sure you set arcNumber and mainlineLinux?
Oct 09 23:18:01 <Majost> yeah
Oct 09 23:18:11 <Majost> I think I need to upgrade my u-boot
Oct 09 23:18:29 <Majost> I was able to get the installer to boot using the stock kernel image
