**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Nov 11 02:59:57 2006 Nov 11 03:35:45 yay. installer! Nov 11 03:38:00 at what point do I attach my hdd ? Nov 11 03:53:48 Congrats. :) Nov 11 03:54:03 IIRC, there should be a screen asking for that. Nov 11 04:01:24 I just restarted witht he hdd connected and it's let me select it. Nov 11 04:02:27 Ahh. I'm about to drop for flash upgrade to latest setup, so back in a bit (hopefully). Nov 11 04:03:07 good luck to you too Nov 11 04:03:37 Heh. I'm more worried about the notebook I'm using, since it's been the car over a week. Nov 11 04:03:45 *in the car Nov 11 07:24:57 ack, Configure Flash Memory failed. is that because I'm using a hdd not a flash drive ? Nov 11 07:25:01 * maatttt clicks Nov 11 07:47:38 An installation step failed. You can try to run the failing item â â Nov 11 07:47:38 â â again from the menu, or skip it and choose something else. The â â Nov 11 07:47:38 â â failing step is: Configure flash memory to boot the system Nov 11 07:48:06 wow, all day trying but it fails. Nov 11 11:17:43 10anyone here i can ask questions to? Nov 11 11:22:53 10Is anyone available? Nov 11 11:26:03 Hi All, Short question to check which channel I should use: Qestions regarding debian installation and harddrive partitioning, is that the #debian-arm channel? Nov 11 11:27:16 10i think here, the other channels are developers only Nov 11 11:27:27 ok. Thanks. Nov 11 11:27:47 10but nobody's here now, i think. Nov 11 11:28:11 k, Most people based in the US? Nov 11 11:28:23 10probably Nov 11 11:28:59 10a question, you have debian running on a nslu? Nov 11 11:29:10 While installing debian, i guess there is a possibility to manually partition the drive? Nov 11 11:29:28 I'm installing on monday. Getting my nslu2 then Nov 11 11:29:56 10oh, i think there is a section on partitioning during the install Nov 11 11:30:13 10don't take my word, i'm currently stuck even getting the uploaded firmware to work Nov 11 11:30:30 10and apparently no one is here to help me Nov 11 11:30:35 http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/DebianSlug/Bootstrap#sid Nov 11 11:30:37 ok. that sucks. Nov 11 11:30:38 ^^ Nov 11 11:31:22 Have you tried this? http://www.cyrius.com/debian/nslu2/install.html Nov 11 11:31:28 Uses the debian installer. Nov 11 11:31:35 Updated this week Nov 11 11:31:36 10that's what i'm trying Nov 11 11:31:54 oh. You still have to do the bootstrap? Nov 11 11:31:59 10nope Nov 11 11:32:14 10apparently the bootstrap method's deprecated Nov 11 11:32:25 there is an installer version Nov 11 11:32:29 dunno if it works Nov 11 11:32:51 10installer version? you mean the link above? Nov 11 11:32:55 That's what i thought. I hope is works. I'm planning to use the installer. Nov 11 11:33:26 http://www.slug-firmware.net/ Nov 11 11:33:26 10so far i'm getting no luck on the installer Nov 11 11:33:54 At what step are you stuck? Uploading the FW? Nov 11 11:34:14 10nope, i've uploaded Nov 11 11:34:24 10but it kinda got stuck during the reboot Nov 11 11:34:38 U don't get the 3 beeps? Nov 11 11:34:42 10its currently stuck with a red status, and eth light Nov 11 11:34:45 10nope Nov 11 11:35:14 I guess you tried to upload again. Nov 11 11:35:21 10yeah Nov 11 11:35:33 10i did a sysconf reset Nov 11 11:35:40 10then a reflash of the original linksys Nov 11 11:35:49 10then reflash to debian using the linksys interface Nov 11 11:36:27 and then upslug? or the windows app? Nov 11 11:36:40 10i did use the windows app Nov 11 11:36:49 ok. Nov 11 11:37:04 10hmm, i havent done the debian using the windows app, let me try now Nov 11 11:37:17 10do i need to do a sysconf reset again? Nov 11 11:37:54 didnt reset my sysconf as i installed debian Nov 11 11:38:25 flashed from unslung 5.5 to debian with the sercomm tool Nov 11 11:38:37 did the bootstrap thing Nov 11 11:39:24 10is it different from the installer method? Nov 11 11:40:00 I think you just use the web/upslug or win app to upload the debianslug FW. Nov 11 11:40:02 haven t tried the installe as it didnt exist at that time i think Nov 11 11:40:14 http://www.slug-firmware.net/d-dls.php Nov 11 11:40:29 no, i just ws that they got the installer working last week. Nov 11 11:40:39 Nov-2:nd Nov 11 11:41:25 I wasn't looking forward to bootstrapping and all that. (we're going to install 4 nslu2's at the same time) Nov 11 11:41:54 The installer looks like a walk in the park if it works Nov 11 11:42:44 10yeah, but it doesn't work for me Nov 11 11:43:09 didn't work for me. Nov 11 11:43:25 10i can ping the nslu, but it refuses my ssh connections Nov 11 11:43:47 did you have it set for dhcp previously ? Nov 11 11:43:53 10nope, its static Nov 11 11:43:55 if the installer isnt working you can try the bootstrap method it worked on the first try for me Nov 11 11:44:03 ok, well, thats prolly it. Nov 11 11:44:04 10and i made sure all the fields were properly filled in Nov 11 11:44:13 10oh? Nov 11 11:45:05 oh, sorry. perhpas your situati9on is different. Nov 11 11:45:20 I was installing debian. and had a similar issue. Nov 11 11:45:42 10what was it? maybe it can be of help Nov 11 11:45:45 I had staic previously. the installer assumes dhcp. Nov 11 11:46:09 reflash as factory. set to dhcp, test, flash debian installer. Nov 11 11:46:27 10ahh, i'll try that out. Nov 11 11:46:43 that fixed the red/green issue for me, but debian did not work. Nov 11 11:46:47 sadly. Nov 11 11:46:51 10so i assume you have debian installer wporking? Nov 11 11:46:55 3 hours to find out. Nov 11 11:47:05 10lol, where did it go wrong after that? Nov 11 11:47:30 it complained about kernals and stuff, and a bunch of shit i didn't understand. Nov 11 11:47:40 10lol Nov 11 11:47:46 10i guess i'll give dhcp a try Nov 11 11:47:50 the installer did work, in as much that it ran and downloaed stuff. Nov 11 11:48:01 please report back. Nov 11 11:48:04 10okay Nov 11 11:48:14 10now to get my nslu into redboot Nov 11 11:48:19 totally interested. Nov 11 11:48:19 so, the installer ran ok. but it doesn't boot into debain? Nov 11 11:48:38 yes. that is my state. Nov 11 11:49:31 I gave up. flashing unslung. shame, I love the deb. Nov 11 11:49:53 10i don't like unslung Nov 11 11:49:59 10way too restrictive Nov 11 11:50:08 ok. Did you do the partitioning maunally or with the auto package? Nov 11 11:50:33 HD or memory stick? Nov 11 11:51:43 zigzackly , what to choose. Nov 11 11:51:54 10finally got into redboot Nov 11 11:52:10 I chose a few mods, ext3, and simler. opted for whole drive. Nov 11 11:52:45 hdd worked hard duiring install, but at the ned it b0rked bitching about boot devices. Nov 11 11:52:55 please report back. Nov 11 11:53:13 sorry for the shitty typing. Nov 11 11:53:21 10do you have the errors it spited out? Nov 11 11:53:24 ok. I have data on the drive I'm planning to use. Need to resize some partitions and maunually add the partitions for debian. Nov 11 11:54:02 no, I started drinking wine half way through. :| Nov 11 11:54:14 10lol Nov 11 11:54:38 10reflashing takes a long time Nov 11 11:54:47 haha. Nov 11 11:55:02 it was pretty clear it wasn't taking though. I think. Nov 11 11:55:19 it b0rked on Where Is Kernal ? Nov 11 11:55:22 10taking? talking? Nov 11 11:55:28 I ignored. Nov 11 11:55:37 10wait, how did you get the error messages out? Nov 11 11:55:44 ssh Nov 11 11:55:56 10so it didn't reboot? Nov 11 11:56:06 you do have to get that working. Nov 11 11:56:24 once ssh work you get the opotunity to waste several hours. Nov 11 11:56:29 jk Nov 11 11:56:44 10lol, i read around 4.5 hours just to install Nov 11 11:56:53 can you ssh ? Nov 11 11:56:59 10nope Nov 11 11:57:02 10connection refused Nov 11 11:57:07 it's at leats 2 hours. Nov 11 11:57:32 you do need to do the dhcp thing, than flash, then wait. Nov 11 11:57:42 you hear 3 beeps ? Nov 11 11:57:48 10nope Nov 11 11:57:56 10the status light went red Nov 11 11:58:06 10after a few nice pattern flashes from the other leds Nov 11 11:58:27 10so the nslu was stuck with the status light red and the eth light green Nov 11 11:58:44 10and the nslu responds to pings Nov 11 11:59:00 same as I had. Nov 11 11:59:01 10pressing the power button seems to reboot the slug too Nov 11 11:59:14 10ahh, so its the dhcp problem? Nov 11 11:59:15 I reflashed with linksys image Nov 11 11:59:20 set to dhcp Nov 11 11:59:25 rebooted, tested Nov 11 11:59:43 then upgraded with di Nov 11 11:59:58 10di? Nov 11 12:00:05 I plugged hdd in port one before di booted Nov 11 12:00:15 debian install image Nov 11 12:00:20 10ok Nov 11 12:00:29 but it didn't work. Nov 11 12:00:51 I'm totally curious. you're only 6 hours behind me. Nov 11 12:01:10 matt@lostplot.com Nov 11 12:01:21 10hmm? Nov 11 12:01:39 i'm drinking wine and may not be keyboard savy later. Nov 11 12:01:53 10k Nov 11 12:01:57 k Nov 11 12:03:14 for completeness, it will ask which partition to use, I use my 10gb hdd on port 1. Nov 11 12:03:37 which seemed logical to me. Nov 11 12:03:57 after that it takes hours. Nov 11 12:04:03 the drive chugs, etc. Nov 11 12:04:28 then i get a Where is your kernal, message, or similar. Nov 11 12:04:36 10i'm thinking two partitions, one ext3 for root and another fat32 (or ntfs) for data Nov 11 12:04:47 go for it. Nov 11 12:05:22 10maybe it was asking you for the kernel's path or something Nov 11 12:05:47 the path of the hack isn;t smooth. and we are going where others *have* gone. Nov 11 12:05:56 clearly we are not wizards. Nov 11 12:05:58 just think about that fat32 cannot handle files bigger that 4 gb. (some dvd-images) Nov 11 12:06:19 10yeah, but i want to maintain compatibility with windows Nov 11 12:06:36 just get the thing going. Nov 11 12:06:39 10i'm thinking of installing 3gntfs then reformat to ntfs Nov 11 12:06:47 I'm using a ext3 driver for windows. Works fine. Nov 11 12:06:49 if you get debian, you can get smb. Nov 11 12:07:27 10waiting for the reflash sucks Nov 11 12:07:27 you're confusing the issue. Nov 11 12:07:52 10sorry Nov 11 12:07:52 get the device to boot, then add capbility. debian is debian. Nov 11 12:08:25 don't apologise. :) Nov 11 12:10:13 10did you use the linksys upload or sercomm to get the di image up? Nov 11 12:18:34 10crap, the nslu's lost Nov 11 12:18:48 10i cant find it registered in dhcp Nov 11 12:19:12 10either that or its not responding Nov 11 12:31:51 how'd you go ? Nov 11 12:32:17 did you reflash to stock ? Nov 11 12:32:36 10yes Nov 11 12:32:50 10but somehow its hangs when i try to switch it to dhcp Nov 11 12:33:07 you have a dhcp server ? Nov 11 12:33:10 10ya Nov 11 12:33:31 10its reporting its assigned the nslu an address, but the nslu's not responding to it, ping has no replies Nov 11 12:33:44 after you reflash , it will be static 192.168.1.77 Nov 11 12:34:09 connect on the same subnet and set to dhcp. Nov 11 12:34:12 10yeah, i went to 192.168.1.77 first Nov 11 12:34:19 10then set to dhcp Nov 11 12:34:30 10but as soon as i click on save, the page stops loading Nov 11 12:34:43 10in other words, the nslu stops responding Nov 11 12:35:00 well you can;t say that. Nov 11 12:35:07 just appears to. Nov 11 12:35:12 10okay, appears to Nov 11 12:35:29 you have a local linux host ? Nov 11 12:36:14 so if you reboot the slug you woul dexpect it to be pick a dhcp ady ? Nov 11 12:36:16 10err, ya Nov 11 12:36:21 10nope Nov 11 12:36:27 10when i rebooted it, its back to static Nov 11 12:36:51 kinda weird. Nov 11 12:37:12 I used the .bin from the linksys site. Nov 11 12:37:16 10me too Nov 11 12:37:20 to get back to stock. Nov 11 12:37:42 but when you config to dhcp it b0rkss ? Nov 11 12:38:06 10yup Nov 11 12:38:59 and when you reboot it dosen't dhcp, it uses the default ? Nov 11 12:39:19 10yeah Nov 11 12:39:29 hmm. Nov 11 12:39:39 10reboot by power buttons works when it borked though Nov 11 12:40:04 I feel like i'm not helping you get to a point which didn;t work for me anyway. Nov 11 12:40:24 which is toitally fraustrating. I know. Nov 11 12:41:42 10lol Nov 11 12:43:33 ok, what i didi was reserve an address on my firewall. Nov 11 12:43:51 10meaning? Nov 11 12:44:26 gte the MAC address and assign an ip address.] Nov 11 12:44:37 10ohh, yeah, i done that Nov 11 12:45:24 and ypu get stuck and red/green flahsing shit ? Nov 11 12:45:35 10nope Nov 11 12:45:43 10i cant even get it to go dhcp Nov 11 12:46:42 shut dowm. start up with reset depressed. Nov 11 12:47:00 turn on, release reset when red led is on. Nov 11 12:47:07 flash Nov 11 12:47:12 10okay... Nov 11 12:47:18 it reboots Nov 11 12:47:26 10flash stock or debian? Nov 11 12:47:31 it picks up dhcp resovations Nov 11 12:47:36 stock. Nov 11 12:50:11 10whoops, sorry, client crashed, what was it? Nov 11 12:51:05 10which firmware do i flash? Nov 11 12:57:27 sorry dude I zoned out there for a while.

I've just flashed the RC1 debian image. I think it worked but as I had done an unslung installation years ago and set configuration settings (I think) it came up on an odd IP and I couldn't log in with ssh as installer/install. I tried to wipe the sysconf area with redboot, and now when it boots the power indicator stays red and the led down from that holds green (occasionally flashing) Any idea what this combination of led's means? Nov 11 13:06:29 10hmm Nov 11 13:06:32 10another one Nov 11 13:06:33 10lol Nov 11 13:06:45 10welcome to the world of broken RC1 Nov 11 13:07:01 maybe they forget the leds programm Nov 11 13:08:14 10nope, i think that's a kernel panic or something, or some error Nov 11 13:08:22 fab. Never mind. Nov 11 13:08:57 10don't worry engie, you have at least another 2 people with the same problem as you Nov 11 13:09:08 What's the best system to use for use in a non-web based environment? Nov 11 13:09:21 I'm pretty familier with debian so that would be ideal, but I'm flexible Nov 11 13:09:59 try debianslug and bootstrap than and the installer ;-) Nov 11 13:10:06 +not Nov 11 13:10:16 eiffel_: Sounds fun... Nov 11 13:11:18 http://www.slug-firmware.net/s-dls.php & http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/DebianSlug/Bootstrap Nov 11 13:12:17 sorry zoned out again. how did you get on ? Nov 11 13:13:38 10well, we have another person with the same problem as i do now Nov 11 13:13:48 10i reflashed the new firmware Nov 11 13:14:24 10its still stops responding after i try to set to dhcp Nov 11 13:14:26 I'm going back to unslung, love debian though. sadness. Nov 11 13:16:44 10that's it, no more installer, i'm bootstrapping Nov 11 13:18:23 wife home from u2, later mate. Nov 11 13:18:31 10okay, see you Nov 11 13:22:06 10question, why are the MD5s different for the same DebianSlug files? Nov 11 13:47:20 10yay, at least Beta2 works Nov 11 13:47:56 10i plan to install Beta2 first, then upgrade to RC1 via this page: http://www.cyrius.com/debian/nslu2/upgrade.html Nov 11 13:48:21 10the Beta2 instructions (now gone) are here: http://web.archive.org/web/20060516181933/http://www.cyrius.com/debian/nslu2/ Nov 11 16:00:45 10any Debian/NSLU2 dev here? Nov 11 20:44:21 good evevning to all Nov 11 20:44:56 hi Nov 11 20:44:57 I would like to have an advice for my new nslu2 please Nov 11 20:45:02 hi meklort Nov 11 20:45:07 may I ask you ? Nov 11 20:45:14 im new here too, so im not sure if i can help, but I'll try Nov 11 20:45:31 will be receiving my nslu2 in a few days Nov 11 20:45:34 ok Nov 11 20:45:39 I am a veteran Debian linux user 8-) Nov 11 20:45:48 ok Nov 11 20:45:56 would like to use nslu2 placing it on the internet with my public IP Nov 11 20:46:10 and use it to access my files both from home and work Nov 11 20:46:24 ok Nov 11 20:46:28 I am a bit confused by all the alternatives Nov 11 20:46:38 unslung etc Nov 11 20:46:50 ok Nov 11 20:47:06 there is a debian version tha tyou can install Nov 11 20:47:12 for example I would be quite nervous to leave nslu2 with an admin web interface on a public ip 8-) Nov 11 20:47:20 seen that Nov 11 20:47:37 so replacing the original fw and installing that ? Nov 11 20:48:01 I would replace teh firmware if oyu are going to use a public Ip Nov 11 20:48:12 agree Nov 11 20:48:27 are you already using your nslu2 ? Nov 11 20:48:33 is it silent ? Nov 11 20:48:44 the nslu2 is very quite, since it doesnt have any fans Nov 11 20:48:51 GREAT !!! Nov 11 20:49:00 already love that puppy ! Nov 11 20:49:09 I havent tried it with a harddrive, but it shouldnt be too noisy with one Nov 11 20:49:32 I was thinking of using a 1 GB pen drive for what I need Nov 11 20:49:43 ok Nov 11 20:49:50 I also have a USB2 hard disk which is fanless too Nov 11 20:50:11 either way then it should be silent Nov 11 20:50:17 yup Nov 11 20:50:27 now maybe a very stupid question 8-) Nov 11 20:50:44 well, itt still answer it Nov 11 20:50:46 ill* Nov 11 20:50:49 if I plug two hdd can I use them in raid-1 for resiliency ? Nov 11 20:51:32 well, Im not sure if the precompiled firmwares support raid, but if they do you can (if not you can always recompile the kernel with raid support) Nov 11 20:53:07 my idea would be kernel with knock server, firewall, ssl webserver for fileserving and maybe some little else Nov 11 20:53:39 ok Nov 11 20:54:02 are you using it for something more exotic ? Nov 11 20:54:56 well, what im trying to setup is bassicaly a dvr or pvr. I have a tv capture card conencted and working, and wireless usb. Currently im trying to get the wireless to work. Nov 11 20:55:28 I also might try conncting a usb keyboard + mouse to it and then using a pda as a screen Nov 11 20:55:33 wow that is more advanced and also more fun than what I had in mind ! 8-) Nov 11 20:55:42 great ! Nov 11 20:56:22 yup, right now im stuck at the drivers. (zd1211b). Im compiled a kernel with support, but not it doesnt recodnize the root device Nov 11 20:56:27 so the card receives the programs and then you transcode that into some divx or similar stream ? Nov 11 20:56:50 well, the card has a hardware mpeg2 encoder, and it transfers that over the wireless to a server Nov 11 20:56:57 cool Nov 11 20:57:15 in my house all my family still uses a normal TV Nov 11 20:57:32 and that probably makes this less useful for me but the idea is very cool Nov 11 20:57:57 yup, our house just got satalite, so I decided it would be fun to try and build this Nov 11 20:58:08 really smart Nov 11 20:58:11 good luck Nov 11 20:58:15 thanks Nov 11 20:58:26 and even if it does not work you will have learned a lot ! 8-) Nov 11 20:58:31 hope you get yours to do what you want too Nov 11 20:58:43 probably yes, very simple setup Nov 11 20:58:49 nice talking to you Nov 11 20:58:52 bye Nov 11 20:59:18 ok, and I have worked ith embedded systems before, a gumstix, but ti didnt have a usb port so I got a nslu2 about a week or two ago Nov 11 20:59:27 bye then Nov 11 21:13:51 darn it - i am stuck again Nov 11 21:14:48 the ./build.sh -O ../obj -T ../tools -U -u tools segfaults... Nov 11 21:15:08 anyone that might have time to take a look at it for me? Nov 11 21:15:15 <- newbie Nov 11 22:12:41 Compiling on the slug is so much more painful than I expected Nov 11 22:27:05 anyone knows where the crontab file is located on openslug? i have to recover crontab entries from a backup openslug root fs and i can't just type crontab -e Nov 11 22:29:53 texture`, you could chroot into the backep up env und do a crontab -l Nov 11 22:30:05 s/ep/ed/ Nov 11 22:30:05 EvilDevil meant: texture`, you could chroot into the backed up env und do a crontab -l Nov 11 22:32:04 hmm Nov 11 22:32:18 i have switched to debian in between Nov 11 22:32:29 is this supposed to work? Nov 11 22:32:47 texture`, depends on the system you were using with the backup Nov 11 22:33:17 openslug Nov 11 22:33:28 i'm trying... it doesnt seem to work: Nov 11 22:33:36 ok, this won't work, because of the endianess Nov 11 22:33:42 Slug:/data/backup/slug_051106# chroot /data/backup/slug_051106 Nov 11 22:33:43 chroot: cannot run command `/bin/bash': No such file or directory Nov 11 22:33:57 Slug:/data/backup/slug_051106# chroot /data/backup/slug_051106 /bin/sh Nov 11 22:33:58 chroot: cannot run command `/bin/sh': Exec format error Nov 11 22:34:12 i suppose the "exec format error" is about endianness Nov 11 22:34:46 yes Nov 11 22:35:17 oh nevermind... i'll write that cron again. it's not so complicated. ty for the help anyway Nov 11 22:35:23 google says: "The crontab file is often stored in /var/spool/cron/crontabs/" Nov 11 22:35:49 yupp... but not on my openslug backup alas Nov 11 22:36:24 i tried the most obvious find's, no luck there. Nov 11 22:36:31 :( Nov 11 22:36:39 no big deal Nov 11 22:37:21 i'm on a high from having that debian running anyway :) Nov 11 22:37:25 but annoying anyway ;) Nov 12 00:25:09 I gave up getting debian to work. Nov 12 00:28:32 the installer is functionnal again since a few days. it worked like a charm for me. and as easy as it can get. Nov 12 00:29:21 I connected my hdd to port 1 defore starting the installer, is that correct ? Nov 12 00:29:40 that's what i did, yes Nov 12 00:30:13 at one point the installer said there was no kernel, I just continued. was that correct ? Nov 12 00:30:33 i didn't get such a message Nov 12 00:30:42 when did that occur? Nov 12 00:31:14 hmm. not sure. I really want Debian, and I hate giving up. Nov 12 00:31:26 ack, I will have to try again. Nov 12 00:32:08 you did setup the partitions, right? with one mounted as root? and some swap? Nov 12 00:33:34 it showed a lot of little partitions and my hdd, I chose the hdd. Nov 12 00:34:08 I selected to use it all, and let the installer make what ever it wanted. Nov 12 00:34:45 that should have been ok. I've installed Debian 386 a hundren times, it should be similar right ? Nov 12 00:34:51 i did it the manual way, but it sounds ok Nov 12 00:35:27 yes, similar... but i have only run the installer once, on a vm Nov 12 00:36:04 I was drinking red wine. perhaps I screwed up. Nov 12 00:36:05 at the end, the installer copies the kernel to the flash fs. Nov 12 00:36:11 lol Nov 12 00:36:38 * matholio flashed installer again Nov 12 00:37:04 is your installer up to date? Nov 12 00:37:23 (Debian/NSLU2 Etch RC1) Nov 12 00:37:30 yes. Nov 12 00:37:33 k Nov 12 00:50:44 flashed and verified. Nov 12 00:51:10 good... ssh ok? Nov 12 00:54:08 waiting for dem beeps Nov 12 00:54:43 I'll take screenies of the whole process, someone might find it useful. Nov 12 00:54:55 yupp Nov 12 00:57:57 i could restart samba, vsftpd and amuled in minutes, using the config files from the openslug i was running before Nov 12 01:18:18 thinking of it... don't you want to split your hdd into a root fs and a data partition? Nov 12 01:21:46 ok, I'm in. what componenst should I install ? Nov 12 01:22:31 http://www.cyrius.com/debian/nslu2/install.html Nov 12 01:22:41 In order for the installation to succeed, you need to select the following modules: Nov 12 01:22:42 * ext3-modules-2.6.17-2-ixp4xx-di: EXT3 filesystem support Nov 12 01:22:42 * partman-auto: Automatically partition storage devices (partman) Nov 12 01:22:42 * partman-ext3: Add to partman support for ext3 Nov 12 01:22:42 * scsi-core-modules-2.6.17-2-ixp4xx-di: Core SCSI subsystem Nov 12 01:22:42 * usb-storage-modules-2.6.17-2-ixp4xx-di: USB storage support Nov 12 01:23:21 i followed that guide. Nov 12 01:25:54 pretty much what I installed before. Nov 12 01:26:10 though I don't recall adding the scsi core. Nov 12 01:31:32 ok, partition method : guided - use entire disk Nov 12 01:32:19 I choose the SCSI hdd Nov 12 01:33:25 scheme : All files in one partition Nov 12 01:33:26 ok.. still having a smaller system partition and a separate data partition can be convenient Nov 12 01:33:53 i dont't know the options for the guided method Nov 12 01:34:11 well, I give it go. Nov 12 01:35:14 to what? Nov 12 01:35:18 #1 primary 10.0 GB B F ext3 / Nov 12 01:35:27 #5 logical 82.2 MB F swap swap Nov 12 01:37:13 i used a little more swap but it seems ok Nov 12 01:43:32 http://ftp.wa.au.debian.org/debian/dists/etch/main/binary-arm/Package ¦ Nov 12 01:43:33 ¦¦ s.gz was corrupt Nov 12 01:44:33 duh Nov 12 01:46:37 tried again same deal. Nov 12 01:46:48 I'll pick another mirror. Nov 12 01:47:43 ack, I went back to the Pick Mirror step and chose an alternative, not it asks Stable, Testing or Unstable. Nov 12 01:47:53 which is appropriate ? Nov 12 01:48:00 weired... i opened that url in firefox and it showed me the extracted file. i downloaded it with wgte and was able to extract it Nov 12 01:48:14 wget Nov 12 01:48:26 testing is highlited. Nov 12 01:48:35 so the file isn;t corupt. Nov 12 01:48:43 but the installer thinks it is. Nov 12 01:48:49 hmm. what to do. Nov 12 01:49:51 i wasn't asked for stable or unstable... i just picked up a french mirror, the first in the list. anyway, trying "stable" sounds like a safe option Nov 12 01:50:58 here are the repositories i used: Nov 12 01:50:58 deb http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/ etch main Nov 12 01:50:59 deb-src http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/ etch main Nov 12 01:50:59 deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main Nov 12 01:50:59 deb-src http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main Nov 12 01:54:29 ok, well, it seems to be working. installing base system. Nov 12 01:56:04 good... now just wait a few days. Nov 12 01:57:14 is that a 10gb hdd, or did you leave some empty space for a later use? Nov 12 01:58:28 10gb hdd. Nov 12 02:37:11 hmm, no installable kernel was found. Nov 12 02:37:20 damn Nov 12 02:37:25 when? Nov 12 02:37:45 after the base install process. the really long process I just started again. :( Nov 12 02:38:07 forgot to capture the error. Nov 12 02:38:34 maybe stuff is missing from that repo Nov 12 02:39:10 try europe/france/ftp.fr.debian.org Nov 12 02:39:50 it can't hurt, and i'm sure that it had all files 24 hours ago when i installed my debian Nov 12 02:42:20 yeah. I will if this fails again. **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sun Nov 12 02:59:57 2006
