Jul 09 01:10:01 <NSLU2-IRC> hi ! 
Jul 09 01:10:33 <NSLU2-IRC> where i can cvs server package for NLSU2 ? :)
Jul 09 01:11:52 <NAiL> As far as I know, it's in the feed. ipkg install cvs
Jul 09 01:17:55 <NSLU2-IRC> thanks you for your help :)
Jul 09 01:18:21 <NAiL> np
Jul 09 01:18:26 <NSLU2-IRC> i try this. but i think it is cvs client and not server :s
Jul 09 12:22:31 <almostunslung> Hi.  New to nslu2, and wondering if there is an updated FAQ/howto unsling to a usb flash device?
Jul 09 12:23:00 <almostunslung> Can't seem to get it to boot with the flash device plugged in after unslinging
Jul 09 12:24:05 <almostunslung> And unfortunately most of the info on non hard drive setups looks like they're all for unslung versions <= 3
Jul 09 12:27:55 <caplink811> hi
Jul 09 12:28:23 <caplink811> what is the  size of your usb stick?
Jul 09 12:28:57 <caplink811> and, in which port it is attached?
Jul 09 12:29:17 <caplink811> and, which unslung version you would use?
Jul 09 12:29:30 <almostunslung> it is a 256mb flash drive
Jul 09 12:29:48 <almostunslung> i plugged it in to disk1 so that it could be formatted, and then unslung to
Jul 09 12:29:55 <almostunslung> unslung 5.5-beta
Jul 09 12:29:59 <caplink811> k
Jul 09 12:30:14 <caplink811> any erros, when you're unslinging?
Jul 09 12:30:22 <caplink811> s/erros/errors
Jul 09 12:30:31 <almostunslung> no, nothing complains
Jul 09 12:31:34 <almostunslung> nslu2 boots, and doesn't show any "error"-like led messages
Jul 09 12:31:38 <caplink811> but you can boot the nslu without the stick attached? and then you can hotplug the stick?
Jul 09 12:31:49 <almostunslung> yes
Jul 09 12:31:58 <caplink811> then do it pls
Jul 09 12:32:10 <almostunslung> it is right now
Jul 09 12:32:55 <caplink811> when you telnet in, and do a "ls -la /", there should be a file called .sda1root, is it there?
Jul 09 12:33:16 <almostunslung> yes
Jul 09 12:33:33 <caplink811> and .unslung also, i assume
Jul 09 12:33:37 <almostunslung> correct
Jul 09 12:33:57 <caplink811> and some dirs, at least bi etc usr opt var ...
Jul 09 12:34:03 <caplink811> s/bi/bin
Jul 09 12:34:16 <almostunslung> yes, usb stick shows up in /share/hdd
Jul 09 12:34:25 <almostunslung> with both the conf and data dirs
Jul 09 12:35:17 <caplink811> oops, sorry, you should do a "ls -la /share/hdd/data", which is equal to / if the slug boots with disk/stick attached
Jul 09 12:35:59 <caplink811> so, in /share/hdd/data, there should be a .sda1root file
Jul 09 12:36:22 <almostunslung>  /share/hdd/data has both the .sda1root and .unslung (as well as the other usual directories)
Jul 09 12:37:21 <caplink811> k
Jul 09 12:38:09 <almostunslung> When I boot it with the flash stick plugged in to disk1, it seems to get stuck as far as I can tell
Jul 09 12:38:22 <almostunslung> The static IP I had it set to fails to respond
Jul 09 12:38:51 <almostunslung> I'm not sure why though, as I haven't seen any errors in unsling, and did a sync afterwards to be on the safe side
Jul 09 12:39:38 <caplink811> how long did you wait, between hot plug the stick, and do the unsling command?
Jul 09 12:39:57 <almostunslung> few minutes
Jul 09 12:41:40 <caplink811> hm
Jul 09 12:42:11 <almostunslung> Is there any boot process logging that might give hints?
Jul 09 12:44:02 <caplink811> just a moment pls
Jul 09 12:47:05 <almostunslung> ok
Jul 09 12:50:59 <caplink811> almostunslung, have you used unslung firmware before with the stick, or is that your 1st try?
Jul 09 12:51:21 <almostunslung> this is my first try
Jul 09 12:51:45 <caplink811> so, the /share/hdd/data/unslung dir is empty, or not existent
Jul 09 12:51:49 <almostunslung> before this, i had tested the stick w/ the samba filesharing
Jul 09 12:52:07 <caplink811> according to the readme, a nice idea
Jul 09 12:52:44 <almostunslung> the /share/hdd/data/unslung dir exists, and is empty
Jul 09 12:52:51 <caplink811> k
Jul 09 12:54:43 <caplink811> there are some ideas and hints at the ml in a threads starts at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/nslu2-linux/message/7232 
Jul 09 12:55:20 <caplink811> there are also some hints about logging in this thread, you could try this
Jul 09 12:56:06 <caplink811> myself hasn't any idea, what's wrong with your nslu :-(
Jul 09 12:56:24 <almostunslung> ok, will check out the link - thanks
