**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Oct 25 02:59:57 2006 Oct 25 09:56:05 I'm gettin lots of messages from a "ipkg install python" Oct 25 09:56:24 like: Oct 25 09:56:31 Downloading http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/unslung/cross/python24_2.4.4-1_armeb.ipk Oct 25 09:56:31 ipkg: /opt/lib/python2.4/popen2.pyo: Is a directory Oct 25 09:56:31 ipkg: /opt/lib/python2.4/colorsys.pyo: No such file or directory Oct 25 09:56:56 anyone has an idea what is going on? Oct 25 13:44:53 :\ is there a standard .config that ppl use to update the kernel on the nslu2 with Oct 25 13:45:04 unslung/openslug? Oct 25 13:45:22 mine doesnt wanna give me an ip after i update Oct 25 13:45:50 openslug firmware running gentoo Oct 25 13:46:25 3.10? Oct 25 13:46:28 yes Oct 25 13:46:50 how are you compiling the kernel? Oct 25 13:47:02 on the nslu2 Oct 25 13:47:11 which sources are you using? Oct 25 13:47:16 2.6.18 Oct 25 13:47:20 vanilla Oct 25 13:47:25 well, that's why Oct 25 13:47:32 ooh Oct 25 13:47:37 vanilla doesn't contain a driver for the ethernet device Oct 25 13:47:43 ooh Oct 25 13:47:51 http://trac.nslu2-linux.org/kernel/browser/trunk/patches/2.6.18 Oct 25 13:47:51 so i need to use what source ? Oct 25 13:47:55 ok Oct 25 13:47:59 vanilla plus the following patches Oct 25 13:48:13 just use quilt to push them over 2.6.18 Oct 25 13:48:23 now, some userspace stuff may break Oct 25 13:48:34 as we're using a different driver in 2.6.18 to that which we used in 2.6.16 Oct 25 13:48:44 so the MAC address will change to a random one Oct 25 13:48:52 ok Oct 25 13:48:58 if you don't want this to happen, then don't compile a new kernel Oct 25 13:50:14 the MAC addy doesnt bother me Oct 25 13:50:53 one more thing Oct 25 13:50:56 ? Oct 25 13:50:58 do you have serial connection Oct 25 13:51:04 no Oct 25 13:51:14 hmm Oct 25 13:51:21 I wouldn't try this then Oct 25 13:51:22 why? Oct 25 13:51:36 You need to load firmware to use the onboard ethernet Oct 25 13:51:43 yes Oct 25 13:51:51 hold on, you're using gentoo Oct 25 13:51:55 yes yes Oct 25 13:51:56 which udev version Oct 25 13:52:08 on the nslu2 ? Oct 25 13:52:11 yes Oct 25 13:52:14 i think 100 Oct 25 13:52:17 cool Oct 25 13:52:26 ok, you will need to get the Microcode firmware Oct 25 13:52:36 do you have an OE buildroot set up? Oct 25 13:52:42 yes Oct 25 13:52:52 is it updated? Oct 25 13:53:02 yes Oct 25 13:53:14 why aren't you building the HEAD kernel from there? Oct 25 13:53:36 i thought i'd build it on gentoo Oct 25 13:53:50 easiest just to build it with OE, seriously Oct 25 13:54:01 or even... Oct 25 13:54:06 ok, here's an idea Oct 25 13:54:21 ? Oct 25 13:54:27 svn co http://svn.nslu2-linux.org/svnroot/kernel Oct 25 13:54:35 run that command on your x86 linux pc Oct 25 13:54:42 cd kernel/trunk Oct 25 13:54:44 ok Oct 25 13:55:02 that'll grab the latest svn kernel version Oct 25 13:55:11 and the patches? Oct 25 13:55:19 and our patches too Oct 25 13:55:23 ok Oct 25 13:55:26 cd kernel/trunk Oct 25 13:55:44 then edit the Makefile so that MINORVER and PATCHVER are 2.6.18 (they're at the top) Oct 25 13:56:07 i see Oct 25 13:56:09 nice Oct 25 13:56:25 then just type make Oct 25 13:56:36 that should build a 2.6.18 kernel and tar/gzip all of the modules Oct 25 13:56:45 and I mean ALL of the modules - it builds loads Oct 25 13:56:54 ok Oct 25 13:56:54 then you just need to get the microcode Oct 25 13:58:12 so build the kernel, as above, and I'll help you get the microcode Oct 25 13:58:31 building as we speak Oct 25 13:58:42 right Oct 25 13:59:03 go to your OE buildroot, (hopefully its been updated in the last week or two) Oct 25 13:59:15 ok Oct 25 13:59:48 now, have you done a build of HEAD recently? Oct 25 13:59:56 no Oct 25 14:00:01 ok, that's fine Oct 25 14:00:30 hmm Oct 25 14:00:40 hold on a minute Oct 25 14:00:44 ok Oct 25 14:42:18 I'm getting lots of messages from a "ipkg install python" Oct 25 14:42:22 like: Oct 25 14:42:29 ipkg: /opt/lib/python2.4/colorsys.pyo: No such file or directory Oct 25 14:42:33 anyone has an idea what is going on? Oct 25 21:26:39 Hey Oct 25 21:26:48 Im having some trouble with unslung Oct 25 21:27:13 Anyone able to help? Oct 25 21:27:37 ~ask Oct 25 21:27:38 If you have a question, just ask, maybe someone have an answer... sometimes. Oct 25 21:27:43 ~nick Oct 25 21:27:44 People leaving their nickname as NSLU2-IRC will be ignored ... otherwise we'll end up with 10 nslu2-irc users ... so please change it using /nick newnick Oct 25 21:28:48 Ok! Oct 25 21:29:04 I cant get unslung to boot off of rootfs Oct 25 21:29:05 morning Cody123 :) Oct 25 21:29:13 it will only work in internal flash Oct 25 21:29:15 Hello :) Oct 25 21:29:44 which kind of external storage do you use? Oct 25 21:30:08 and which version of unslung firmware= Oct 25 21:30:10 a IDE hard drive in a external enclousure Oct 25 21:30:21 Firmware Version: V2.3R63-uNSLUng-6.8-beta Oct 25 21:30:26 k Oct 25 21:31:07 you know the readme and follows it word by word? Oct 25 21:31:17 Uh huh :) Oct 25 21:34:42 k, short version, you checked the function of the external drive with the original firmware, then you checked, that you be able to access the redboot loader, and then you flashed unslung fw, booting without a drive attached, login, atached the drive, wait (~2mins), checked the acces to the external media, and ran /sbin/unling disk1|disk2 (depends on the port where you plugged your disk in) Oct 25 21:44:20 ehhh not exactly :-x Oct 25 21:44:23 let me fix that ;) Oct 25 21:44:57 sure... Oct 25 21:56:42 I got it Oct 25 21:56:45 Thanks :) Oct 25 21:57:01 ~emulate rwhitby Oct 25 21:57:02 just another satisfied customer Oct 25 21:57:05 ;) Oct 25 21:57:44 * caplink811_log heading off to bed now, good night.. Oct 26 01:19:03 How do i check the CPU usage on a NSLU2? Oct 26 02:48:36 Cody123: top in procps ipk **** ENDING LOGGING AT Thu Oct 26 02:59:57 2006
