**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Dec 13 02:59:57 2006 Dec 13 08:01:40 hello Dec 13 08:04:07 I flashed my slug with di-nslu2.bin got from the latest debian-etch-rc1; but the slug doesn't seem to boot Dec 13 08:04:29 The status led stays red Dec 13 08:04:35 10what stage did it reach? Dec 13 08:04:44 10always red or flashing? Dec 13 08:04:58 I don't have a serial console attached; anyway, I am unable to ping it Dec 13 08:05:08 it stays red Dec 13 08:05:16 10hmm, this is new Dec 13 08:05:19 10no beeps? Dec 13 08:05:24 no beeps at all Dec 13 08:05:41 10how long have you waited? Dec 13 08:06:00 well, I tried waiting for more than an hour ... Dec 13 08:06:09 10okay, that should be enough, lol Dec 13 08:06:42 10did you remember to set your network settings before you flashed it with the installer? Dec 13 08:06:51 yes - that I did Dec 13 08:07:07 10every single field? including gateway Dec 13 08:07:12 Yes Dec 13 08:07:23 reflashing with linksys firmware works well Dec 13 08:07:29 10hmm... Dec 13 08:08:28 I saw somebody posing the same problem recently in the mailing list archive Dec 13 08:08:55 10well, the only solution i can offer is just reflash with linksys, do the sysconf reset (IMMEDIATELY AFTER IT REBOOTS) and then set the network config ONLY, then reflash with installer Dec 13 08:09:23 10yeah, it gets asked a lot, i had this problem too, but I didn't figure out how i fixed it, lol Dec 13 08:09:37 10oh, did you make sure all usb devices are unplugged at all times? Dec 13 08:09:48 what do you mean by a `sysconf reset'? Dec 13 08:10:02 yes, usb devices were unplugged Dec 13 08:10:07 10plug it in only before you boot the installer Dec 13 08:10:21 ok Dec 13 08:10:36 10hold on while i get you the link to the sysconf reset Dec 13 08:10:49 10http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/ResetSysConf Dec 13 08:10:57 10you know how to get into redboot don't you? Dec 13 08:11:12 no Dec 13 08:11:54 10oh no.. they did warn you that you must know how to do that before you get into di-installer Dec 13 08:12:09 10http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/TelnetIntoRedBoot Dec 13 08:12:27 thank you ... i think i did things in a hurry Dec 13 08:14:02 I will try out your suggestions Dec 13 08:14:51 10okay... oh, do remember to keep the harddrive unattached during it, and remember to turn off your nslu when you try to attach or remove the harddrive Dec 14 02:48:00 I have forgotten my name and password.
