**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Mar 14 03:00:00 2007 Mar 14 16:31:11 Hi all, I am finding that every time the Debian\NSLU2 system reflashes the system it fails to come back up (gets stuck in status=orange). e.g. after rebooting after apt-get install nlsu-utils (0.10+r71-10) which performs a reflash the system does not come back up. Of course, the installers reflash works fine. Mar 14 16:38:18 hi Mar 14 16:40:36 I built the slugosle from HEAD yesterday, today I flashed it to slug and I got : Mar 14 16:40:39 No filesystem could mount root, tried: jffs2 Mar 14 16:40:53 Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) Mar 14 16:41:18 any clue where to look for the error ? Mar 14 16:43:03 I hope this is the proper channel for that question, correct me if I'm wrong Mar 14 16:47:16 hmm Mar 14 16:47:22 yes, it's the right channel Mar 14 16:47:43 could you pastebin the dmesg?

Eg http://pastebin.ca/ Mar 14 16:52:08 http://pastebin.ca/394859 Mar 14 16:58:09 hmm Mar 14 16:58:29 # Mar 14 16:58:29 Searching for RedBoot partition table in IXP4XX-Flash.0 at offset 0x7e0000 Mar 14 16:58:29 # Mar 14 16:58:29 No RedBoot partition table detected in IXP4XX-Flash.0 Mar 14 16:58:36 Now that's your problem. Mar 14 16:59:01 It can't mount the fs since it doesn't have a clue where the partition starts. Mar 14 16:59:13 rwhitby: ping? Mar 14 17:01:07 so where the problem comes from, I flashed whole image, which should contain also the partitions - am I right ? Mar 14 17:07:45 If it will help: the structure of image: Mar 14 17:07:50 lukasz@Pepe:~/Desktop$ slugimage -u -i slugosle-4.3-beta-nslu2_1.bin Mar 14 17:07:50 Read 2 blocks into Mar 14 17:07:50 Read 0x00006 bytes into Mar 14 17:07:51 Read 1 blocks into Mar 14 17:07:51 Read 8 blocks into Mar 14 17:07:52 Read 0x1FFF0 bytes into Mar 14 17:07:53 Read 51 blocks into Mar 14 17:07:55 Read 1 blocks into Mar 14 17:07:57 Read 0x04000 bytes into Mar 14 17:07:59 Read 0x02EBC bytes into Mar 14 17:08:01 Read 0x00010 bytes into Mar 14 17:08:03 Wrote 0x00040000 bytes from into "RedBoot" Mar 14 17:08:05 Wrote 0x00020000 bytes from into "SysConf" Mar 14 17:08:07 Wrote 0x000FE0A4 bytes from into "vmlinuz" Mar 14 17:08:09 Wrote 0x0001FFF0 bytes from into "ramdisk.gz" Mar 14 17:08:11 Wrote 0x00660000 bytes from into "Flashdisk" Mar 14 17:08:12 please, please, please...

Mar 14 19:50:20 I expect you only loaded the kernel and rootfs, and therefore your fis directory did not get written, and therefore is not available for the kernel to read. Mar 14 20:09:05 rwhitby: I loaded the image with upgrade utility (sercomm)(not erase all) Mar 14 20:09:49 hmm - should have worked then. Mar 14 20:10:37 rwhitby: the previous image was 2.6.19 created on 23Feb2007 Mar 14 20:11:00 shouldn't matter. did you do a complete rebuild from scratch? Mar 14 20:12:03 I did: make distclean; rm Makefile; wget Makefile; make slogosle Mar 14 20:12:55 the only thing I kept was downloads Mar 14 20:13:49 pepesz76: try an alpha image from here: http://www.hentges.net/tmp/snapshots/SlugOS/ Mar 14 20:14:54 I can try that in 12 hours since I do not have the access to the slug at the moment. Mar 14 20:15:35 I haven't seen any errors during compilation. Mar 14 20:16:09 I will keep you posted Mar 14 20:19:15 one more question - might be not for this channel - are the kernel-module-ip-* modules obsolete for 2.6.20? I only could find one kernel-module-ip-table(s) and kernel-module-nf-* modules Mar 14 20:29:42 pepesz76: dunno Mar 14 20:29:54 have a look in the feed dir, and in the defconfig. Mar 14 20:31:48 i checked feed, not the defconfig - honestly I'm not sure where to look for modules config file **** ENDING LOGGING AT Thu Mar 15 02:59:59 2007
