**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Jul 05 02:59:56 2006 Jul 05 08:39:58 hi Jul 05 08:54:48 having lots of probs with a usb drive (that works fine by itself) with my nslu2/debianslug Jul 05 08:54:54 don't get it mounted Jul 05 09:08:14 hm, anyone ever around in here? Jul 05 16:36:38 hi Jul 05 16:36:43 hello Jul 05 16:37:43 I have a question related to ARM devices, what JTAG debugger/emulator is considered verry good at this moment? Jul 05 16:53:00 jimthfreeman, you should ask that question at #nslu2-linux, where you'll get more response at this topic.. Jul 05 16:53:46 ok Jul 05 20:50:20 #gentoo-uk Jul 06 02:41:38 Ahh, excellent. Just picked up my slug from walmart for $50 -- turns out my old USB 1.1 enclosure won't work due to the PL2307-B chip -- is there any way to set my slug up to boot off the network using either NFS or NBD? Jul 06 02:42:08 walmart lowered them to $50? Jul 06 02:42:12 was $90 Jul 06 02:42:37 nah, was the last one this paticular store had, and I'm not sure how to check the datecode, but I think it was built in 2003 Jul 06 02:42:49 I just lucked out. ;) Jul 06 02:43:17 Anyway, I've already got a gentoo box running on my lan, just curious if anyone's tried setting their slug up for a networked root? Jul 06 02:44:05 right now I've got it rigged up with unslung off my PSP's 1GB stick, and I'm kinda worried about it, as it's constantly writing to the flash. Jul 06 02:44:06 I don't believe you can Jul 06 02:44:19 all the firmware on the site is made to boot off of an attached hd Jul 06 02:44:40 Well, I don't mind hacking on it. Jul 06 02:45:05 after all, it's kinda hard to torch redboot like I managed to torch my WRT54G's bootloader *G* Jul 06 02:46:13 more curious if anyone's even tried network booting. Jul 06 02:46:36 Or at least, mounting something over NFS to store packages Jul 06 02:47:03 I know this sucker's got 8MB of flash, and that's more than enough for a basic rootFS and mounting the rest over the network. Jul 06 02:47:05 http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/LoadRootfsFromNFS Jul 06 02:47:24 >.o Guess I should have searched harder *G* Jul 06 02:47:39 honestly, I did not know that was possible Jul 06 02:48:05 this looks somewhat old, any idea if it'll work on 6.8? Jul 06 02:48:36 I'd say it would...can't hurt to try Jul 06 02:48:56 Cool. Your help is very much appreciated. Jul 06 02:49:01 Note to self: Write down process. Jul 06 02:49:36 Whole reason I bought my slug was to mess with getting my PSP to work from it as more than a mass storage device. Jul 06 02:50:09 hopefully I can beat on it until it works like I want it to *G* Jul 06 02:50:10 when I bought it I didn't even know of this firmware Jul 06 02:50:35 then one day I thought "I bet someone has made a better firmware for this thing" Jul 06 02:51:11 well, I've been after a slug for about 2 years now I guess... Just so happened to be in walmart today picking up some packing tape, and there was a lonely little factory sealed slug box on a islecap shelf with a bunch of other 'discounted' merch, marked for $50, down from $89.99 Jul 06 02:51:23 Couldn't pass it up ;) Jul 06 02:51:47 I went after one on ebay and lost...I was so mad because I got out bid in the last 6 seconds that I got in my car and drove to walmart and just paid the $90 for it Jul 06 02:52:16 popped home, checked ebay, couldn't find anything near this price, checked craigslist, read up a bit on the latest from nslu2-linux.org, and finally convinced myself to buy it. Jul 06 02:52:49 Once I saw someone got a 2.6 kernel on it, I had to run back to walmart and grab it before anyone else did. Jul 06 02:53:46 suprised me when I got it home too -- had Firmware 2.3R24 on it. Jul 06 02:54:22 how do I figure out when it was built? Jul 06 02:55:11 all I can see is a serial # and something labeled MAC address, but obviously isn't. Jul 06 02:55:36 also, /proc/cpuinfo tells me it's a 133Mhz. Jul 06 02:56:26 I ain't too concerned with the speed, so I doubt I'm gonna clip it for a while and un-underclock it. At the moment, I just want it to work ;) **** ENDING LOGGING AT Thu Jul 06 02:59:57 2006
