Mar 15 13:26:40 <HRH_H_Crab> hmmm.
Mar 15 13:28:00 <HRH_H_Crab> just built a fresh nslu2le and still no joy with the mounting anything.
Mar 15 13:28:07 <HRH_H_Crab> gonna try be.
Mar 15 14:10:02 <mimecar> hi
Mar 15 14:10:34 <mimecar> hi Varoudis
Mar 15 14:13:50 <Varoudis_> hello
Mar 16 00:55:40 <Adam_M> anyone awake?
Mar 16 02:12:35 <HRH_H_Crab> rwhitby: give me a shout if you have a moment pls.
Mar 16 02:12:45 <HRH_H_Crab> im at my wits end with my slug :(
Mar 16 02:15:56 <rwhitby> HRH_H_Crab: I'm here, whassup?
Mar 16 02:16:06 <HRH_H_Crab> hey!
Mar 16 02:16:08 <HRH_H_Crab> well,
Mar 16 02:16:18 <rwhitby> If it's about Angstrom, yep it's broken with a null password.
Mar 16 02:16:24 <HRH_H_Crab> the good news is, ive taught myself oe!
Mar 16 02:16:26 <HRH_H_Crab> yeah,
Mar 16 02:16:31 <HRH_H_Crab> ive worked round that now.
Mar 16 02:16:39 <HRH_H_Crab> i can build images with preset passwords!
Mar 16 02:16:41 <HRH_H_Crab> \o/
Mar 16 02:16:49 <HRH_H_Crab> ive built little endian ones, and big endian ones,
Mar 16 02:16:51 <HRH_H_Crab> and they boot,
Mar 16 02:16:53 <HRH_H_Crab> and work,
Mar 16 02:16:56 <HRH_H_Crab> and i can log in.
Mar 16 02:17:07 <HRH_H_Crab> but ive come up against an unexpected impasse.
Mar 16 02:17:16 <HRH_H_Crab> ive loaded the various usb modules,
Mar 16 02:17:27 <HRH_H_Crab> and i can detect devices in dmesg.
Mar 16 02:17:29 <HRH_H_Crab> but...
Mar 16 02:17:35 <HRH_H_Crab> i cannot mount anything.
Mar 16 02:17:41 <HRH_H_Crab> hang on, let me pastebin...
Mar 16 02:19:19 <HRH_H_Crab> http://pastebin.com/d36f314a1
Mar 16 02:19:35 <HRH_H_Crab> ive tried this with the little endian image, and the big endian image.
Mar 16 02:19:41 <HRH_H_Crab> the memory stick works fine in my laptop.
Mar 16 02:19:58 <HRH_H_Crab> ive also tried larger external disks and i get the same issue.
Mar 16 02:20:11 <HRH_H_Crab> strangely, the slug is more than happy to format my media!
Mar 16 02:20:15 <HRH_H_Crab> it just won't mount it.
Mar 16 02:21:25 <rwhitby> what does /proc/filesystems have in it?
Mar 16 02:21:46 <HRH_H_Crab> hmmm
Mar 16 02:22:02 <HRH_H_Crab> root@nslu2be:~# more /proc/filesystems

Mar 16 02:22:29 <HRH_H_Crab> aaah...
Mar 16 02:22:43 <HRH_H_Crab> so is that the "no such device" that its speaking of?
Mar 16 02:24:02 <rwhitby> you need to load the kernel modules for the filesystems you want to load
Mar 16 02:24:09 <HRH_H_Crab> aaaah!
Mar 16 02:24:14 <HRH_H_Crab> im a buffoon.
Mar 16 02:24:16 <HRH_H_Crab> o.k.
Mar 16 02:24:28 <HRH_H_Crab> thanks, i'll give that a try.
Mar 16 02:25:30 <rwhitby> np
Mar 16 02:30:24 <HRH_H_Crab> im guessing im going to have to bitbake that as i can't seem to find it?
Mar 16 02:30:36 <HRH_H_Crab> something like bitbake kernel-module-ext2 or whatever?
Mar 16 02:30:41 <HRH_H_Crab> and then scp it across?
Mar 16 02:31:13 <rwhitby> they should all be in the feeds
Mar 16 02:31:22 <HRH_H_Crab> aaah!
Mar 16 02:31:24 <HRH_H_Crab> \o/
Mar 16 02:32:36 <HRH_H_Crab> while you are about, if its not too annoying a question, can you briefly explain to me if there are any issues surrounding endian-ness i should consider?
Mar 16 02:32:48 <HRH_H_Crab> im no programmer, but i have a rough idea of what it means.
Mar 16 02:33:01 <HRH_H_Crab> i started out using le images, but im currently running a be image.
Mar 16 02:33:17 <HRH_H_Crab> are there any pros / cons i should be aware of?
Mar 16 02:33:25 <rwhitby> just that some packages (like usb camera drivers) are badly written for one endianness and don't work on the other.
Mar 16 02:33:53 <rwhitby> networking is faster in BE, cause you don't have to swap fields, but on a slug that is swamped by the slowness of the usb anyway so it doesn't matter.
Mar 16 02:34:08 <rwhitby> so just choose based on the packages you need to run
Mar 16 02:34:16 <HRH_H_Crab> cool
Mar 16 02:34:17 <rwhitby> 99% of the packages will run on either
Mar 16 02:34:20 <HRH_H_Crab> thanks for everything
Mar 16 02:39:51 <HRH_H_Crab> i think i made a mistake using nslu2be, i should have used ixp4xxbe shouldn't i?
Mar 16 02:40:06 <HRH_H_Crab> there seems to be a glitch in these feeds.
Mar 16 02:40:22 <HRH_H_Crab> nm. i can work on that tomorrow.
