**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Nov 03 02:59:57 2006 Nov 03 18:26:34 I've got a question that i thought I had seen a reference to somewhere, but can't find it now Nov 03 18:26:44 is there a way to force the order of usb devices... Nov 03 18:26:59 i.e. i have debian installed on sda and the / is on sda2... Nov 03 18:27:15 but since i rebooted it still shows it's mounted on sda2 and is running fine.. Nov 03 18:27:21 but the disk is actually sdb now Nov 03 18:59:31 gondoi, searching about label and fstab, maybe it produces some useful hints Nov 03 19:00:06 actually i'm getting closer.. i found the uuid stuff, but the only question i have now is the swap Nov 03 19:00:11 it doesn't have a uuid Nov 03 19:00:45 plus, do i need to boot back into slugos and redo the turnup to use uuid instead of /dev/xxx Nov 03 19:38:52 found it... just do a mkswap with the -L option Nov 03 21:50:46 hi, can you ask questions about install trouble with Debian on the nslu2 here? Nov 03 21:51:15 ~ask Nov 03 21:51:15 If you have a question, just ask, maybe someone have an answer... sometimes. Nov 03 21:52:52 trying to install Debian with the unofficial Debian installer from slug-firmware.net Nov 03 21:53:58 I can connect with ssh and start the installer... but after pressing yes / continue to the "No kernel modules found" it seems to just hang Nov 03 21:55:10 only a blue screen... is that normal or should I get to the next step in the installation soon after? Nov 03 21:55:47 just to be sure I have been waiting for an hour now :) Nov 03 22:00:25 Blue screen on the NSLU2? Nov 03 22:02:08 yeah the debian installer has a blue background... thats what I meant Nov 03 22:02:09 It shouldn't hang for that long. Nov 03 22:03:05 I don't remember it taking much more than a few minutes when I installed Debian. Unforturnately for my helping you, I long ago nuked Debian and built Gentoo Slug. Nov 03 22:03:23 hehe Nov 03 22:04:39 np... just read somewhere that the installation could take a couple of hours... but I found it odd that I had no indication of what was going on Nov 03 22:05:17 I remember it updating frequntly Nov 03 22:06:07 man, this thumboard is going to take some getting used to Nov 03 22:06:21 after I press "Yes" to the "no kernel modules found" I get a progressbar and it happes after it gets to 100% the only the background of the installer stays Nov 03 22:08:17 is there anything I can do to debug on it? Nov 03 22:08:17 Figure out why the kernel modules aren't being found. Nov 03 22:08:17 I remember on a normal debian installation you can enter some of the other ttys and watch modules loaded and warnings and errors generated by the installer Nov 03 22:08:18 wiscalico, you can add a serial port to the slug but that involves soldering... Nov 03 22:08:35 yeah I know :) Nov 03 22:08:57 Did you copy the modules to where they need to be? What about running update-modules or is it modules-update. Nov 03 22:09:35 I think I can even get a USB cable which I can attach without soldering Nov 03 22:10:20 I didn't know I had to copy modules anywhere... perhapes I misunderstood the install how to Nov 03 22:10:30 That would not be a console... Nov 03 22:11:11 I have no idea. It has been around 3 months since I did my lone Debian install. Did you follow the docs perfectly? Are you trying 3.10 or 4.0alpha? Nov 03 22:13:22 I have tried to follow the docs the best I could Nov 03 22:14:22 dunno if it is 3.10 or 4.0 alpha.... used the unofficial Debian install images here: http://www.slug-firmware.net/d-dls.php Nov 03 22:14:40 from the file called: debian-etch-beta2-20060311.zip Nov 03 22:17:17 Okay know why... havn't been reading good enough... sorry for disturbing you :) Nov 03 22:23:45 wiscalico, we all miss things in the documentation once in a while. Were I disturbed, you'd know it! :) **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sat Nov 04 02:59:57 2006
