**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Jul 15 02:59:57 2007 Jul 16 01:41:19 Hello Jul 16 01:41:45 having a bit of an issue with ssh login after flashing openslug Jul 16 01:42:23 ssh server is running on 192.168.1.77 however the default password opeNSLUg does not seem to work Jul 16 01:42:29 any idea? Jul 16 01:46:30 Try the root password you had set in the previous firmware Jul 16 01:49:00 it looks as if redboot is gone Jul 16 01:49:37 i mistakenly had a harddrive plugged in during upslug2 Jul 16 01:49:49 Shouldn't be a problem Jul 16 01:50:19 i can only access maintenance mode when the harddrive is plugged in Jul 16 01:51:21 no the machine will only reboot when the drive usb drive is plugged in Jul 16 01:51:22 what do you mean by maint mode? Jul 16 01:51:49 sorry upgrade moded Jul 16 01:51:53 *modde Jul 16 01:52:13 Hmmm.... how do you enter upgrade mode? Jul 16 01:53:09 well i plugin usb drive, then hold in reset button, press power, wait 10 seconds then im in upgrade mode Jul 16 01:53:33 i can then flash the slug, however, after flashing the kernel will no boot Jul 16 01:54:22 And you cannot get it to enter upgrade mode unless the usb drive is plugged in? Jul 16 01:55:19 correct Jul 16 01:56:15 The only plausible explanation I can think of is that your power supply is marginal, and your NSLU2 requires power from the external device (?!) Jul 16 01:56:46 external device has no power Jul 16 01:57:02 powered by the slug Jul 16 01:57:21 i do have a serial console installed Jul 16 01:57:37 Why not use that then???\ Jul 16 01:57:47 well i cant login Jul 16 01:57:57 You don't have to - Jul 16 01:58:13 ? Jul 16 01:58:14 When it boots, you're into redboot. Just ctrl-C at the right time in the sequence Jul 16 01:58:26 hold let me try Jul 16 01:58:45 You'll see a "+" character printed, followed by the Redboot banner, then a message telling you to enter to abort. Jul 16 01:58:54 with or without the usb hardrive? Jul 16 01:59:04 Without - you have no need for that. Jul 16 01:59:17 Redboot doesn't know it exists, honestly -- no drivers@! Jul 16 01:59:34 ok im in redboot with the drive installed Jul 16 01:59:42 want me to try without drive? Jul 16 01:59:45 Yes. Jul 16 01:59:48 ok Jul 16 02:00:37 ok Jul 16 02:00:41 in redboot now Jul 16 02:00:51 with drives Jul 16 02:01:01 Why with drives -- you don't need them! Jul 16 02:01:13 hold Jul 16 02:01:42 Redboot has no USB drivers, it doesn't know they exist. If you are just reflashing, then you don't need them either. Best to get it working with the simplest possible configuration to start, IMO. Jul 16 02:01:53 amen Jul 16 02:02:10 agreed Jul 16 02:02:18 booting now Jul 16 02:03:11 ok i can not login as root with the default passwd of opeNSLUg Jul 16 02:03:31 has the password changed? Jul 16 02:04:06 No. Jul 16 02:04:26 User id = root Jul 16 02:04:31 pw = opeNSLUg Jul 16 02:04:33 yup Jul 16 02:04:38 yup Jul 16 02:04:42 fails to login Jul 16 02:04:49 What firmware did you have on before? Jul 16 02:05:09 same firmware openslug 3.10 Jul 16 02:06:00 openslug-3.10-beta.bin Jul 16 02:06:25 Try the root password you set for that one, the one that may have been saved to the sysconf partition by the "turnup preserve" command back on that installation\ Jul 16 02:07:17 well see thats the problem lost the password Jul 16 02:07:23 hence reflash Jul 16 02:07:37 anyway to hard reset? Jul 16 02:07:51 anyway to get to single usermode? Jul 16 02:08:50 No on single-user mode (needs pw). Jul 16 02:09:27 Check wiki for resetting sysconf partition - should be really easy since you have a serial port. Just type CAREFULLY or you might erase part of the flash you really didn't mean to, and end up with a brick. Jul 16 02:09:32 well heres the thing attempted to reboot and now there is no redboot Jul 16 02:10:04 You have redboot, can't boot the device into any firmware without it. Jul 16 02:10:14 What makes you think you don't have redboot? Jul 16 02:10:50 when i powercycle w/out usb attached only the ethernet light turns on Jul 16 02:11:38 ??? But you just entered redboot (see the conversation we had a few lines up the screen) with devices unplugged, right? Jul 16 02:11:50 hrm thats odd Jul 16 02:12:03 if i detach the eth cable redboot loads Jul 16 02:12:32 if the ethnet cable is attached reboot hangs Jul 16 02:13:05 Sounds like network hardware issues Jul 16 02:13:12 perhaps Jul 16 02:16:37 xvts: what happens on the serial console when you say redboot hangs? Jul 16 02:16:54 i.e. where does it hang? Jul 16 02:18:06 serial console hangs as well Jul 16 02:18:14 *where* Jul 16 02:18:40 at boottime Jul 16 02:18:40 i.e. what is the last thing printed on the serial console Jul 16 02:18:52 reboot Jul 16 02:19:03 does a "+" get printed Jul 16 02:19:06 nope Jul 16 02:19:19 just erased sysconf Jul 16 02:19:27 attempting to reflash Jul 16 02:20:49 reflashing now Jul 16 02:25:10 \o/ im in Jul 16 02:25:14 thanks all **** ENDING LOGGING AT Mon Jul 16 02:59:58 2007
