**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Apr 07 09:59:57 2006 Apr 07 17:57:40 is here anyone who is using his slug with wintv pvr usb2? Apr 07 17:58:17 exe: eFfeM-log is Apr 07 17:59:05 thanks :) Apr 07 18:38:48 hi Apr 07 18:39:10 On nslu2-linux.org there are instructions on over-clocking your slug. I have done this. Apr 07 18:39:10 morning Apr 07 18:39:37 I've also read from somewhere that it shouldn't be dangerous (slug doesn't over heat) Apr 07 18:39:43 but I ain't so sure about this.. Apr 07 18:39:54 because I actually run a gentoo slug.. Apr 07 18:40:30 and when my slug is under heavy load (I was doing restarts to openldap server over and over again while configuring it) my slug gone to really slow. Apr 07 18:40:39 and after that. it refuses to boot. Apr 07 18:41:40 this already happened to me once earlier. I thought that I destroyed my gentoo installation and formatted by hd and re-started on next day. Apr 07 18:41:53 this time, I just played with openldap server and it happened again.. Apr 07 18:41:59 I can speak a bit authoritatively... (#11 and #12 of the original turboslugs) Apr 07 18:42:16 a lot depends on the ambient temperature Apr 07 18:42:54 but what is really strange ( I think ) Apr 07 18:43:04 that if I reflash with openslug image, it does boot. Apr 07 18:43:08 there are and have been reports of ppl having issues with their turbo-slugs - but in almost all cases, one of two issues were the causes Apr 07 18:43:27 it's just the booting from harddisk that seems to be a problem. Apr 07 18:43:43 one - ambient temp was high - 78 degrees F or higher, *and* something stressing the CPU Apr 07 18:43:57 two - a bad turboslug procedure Apr 07 18:44:04 now I installed openslug image and I am able to mount my /dev/sda1 to /mnt.. Apr 07 18:44:16 it looks like "one" might be an issue for you Apr 07 18:44:39 can you attempt booting with the nslu2 out of it's case? Apr 07 18:44:51 maybe I could.. Apr 07 18:44:54 meaning it'll have more air flow around the cpu? Apr 07 18:45:34 if that corrects, then you might have a cpu that tends to get warmer than most others - consider drilling lots (more) holes in the nslu2 case Apr 07 18:46:40 someone made a fan inside his turboslug :) maybe I should consider something like that too.. Apr 07 18:46:55 you could even go for the "naked" mod like my "BikiniSlug" http://www.toddcomp.com/NSLU2/PICT0173.JPG Apr 07 18:47:09 It's still pretty hot propably ( I can tell because installing image/kernel is really slow) Apr 07 18:50:26 case is open.. Apr 07 18:51:05 big chip doesn't feel too hot.. Apr 07 18:51:42 and neither do other components.. Apr 07 18:53:44 now booting without case.. Apr 07 18:54:25 hd activity detected.. but nope. It stopped again. Slug isn't booting :( Apr 07 18:55:08 ethernet light blinks sometimes.. and power is on.. Apr 07 18:57:43 I'll let it cool for a hour.. better luck later.. Apr 07 18:57:53 * jake is idling.. Apr 07 19:40:06 checking now if my nslu2 already has cooled down and would work.. Apr 07 19:41:07 nope. it loads something from hd (mounts it and then does something on hd) and after that.. nothing.. damn.. Apr 07 19:50:45 jake, have you tried booting without hdd? Apr 07 19:55:36 if it does boot w/o hdd, i suppose your problem is caused by your gentoo installation. Apr 07 23:45:11 anybody using raid1 on your slug? Apr 07 23:49:54 sort of HopsNBarley Apr 07 23:53:30 cool. it got it working okay via the raid1 module and mdadm, but i can't seem to get the devices to start at boot time. i see the code in the drivers/md/md.c where, if md is not a module (it's not) it at least has the ability to autostart the arrays. this happens on my gentoo system, but not openslug. Apr 08 00:02:24 okay, here's something a little more interesting... Apr 08 00:03:31 the autodetect script runs before the USB storage gets loaded up on openslug, but on gentoo, this runs after the IDE disks are probed. so that's why it doesn't work. now, how to fix this? I might have to just use mdadm by hand at the right place in the boot up scripts... ??? Apr 08 00:12:13 you know how to get boot arguments through redboot to openslug? Apr 08 00:29:39 HopsNBarley, add insmod /lib/modules/2.6.bla/drivers/md-..... to /linuxrc on the flash or /initrd/linuxrc Apr 08 00:40:28 it's already compiled into the kernel. i changed the defconfig. Apr 08 00:41:03 plus, i don't think that'll get me what i want, since if md is a module, it doesn't automatically scan for arrays at load time. **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sat Apr 08 09:59:56 2006
