Feb 12 03:13:35 <okeydokey> hello
Feb 12 03:40:02 <scant> can anyone help me with my unslug rsync script
Feb 12 03:45:40 <scant> can anyone tell me what the $? map to in this line from the unslung rsync script: [ $? = 1 ]; 
Feb 12 03:48:20 <scant> got it, checks for the exit status variable i think
Feb 12 04:26:08 <scant> can anyone help me auto mount some drives, and make sure they are unmounted when turned off or rebooted?
Feb 12 04:26:54 <scant> is the unslung rc.reboot script run when turned off as opposed to rebooting?
Feb 12 15:22:22 <voy74656> i think i timed out - not sure if last message got thru? any1 got a few mins to help me nut out amule ipkg?
Feb 12 15:37:43 <voy74656> is amule a bad work or something?? :-p
Feb 12 15:58:12 <voy74656> every1 must be busy atm. when some1 gets a chance - could some1 grab the amule ipkg n install it 4 me 2 c if they get the same issues im getting? all ive done so far is just 'ipkg install amule' and let it do its thing
Feb 12 15:58:40 <voy74656> then i do 'ipkg status' the packages are all showing there but cant access the web interface
Feb 12 15:58:58 <voy74656> are there other packages i need or need 2 configure something else?
Feb 12 15:59:07 <voy74656> when some1 gets a chance that'd be awesom.
Feb 12 16:43:47 <W_SHaRK> hello
Feb 12 16:46:16 <W_SHaRK> I just bought a nslu2, and the status light keeps flashing... at 1st boot I accessed the admin web gui, but it crashed at half of the page. So I switched off and restarted. And now it doens't boot anymore :( I tried to flash it (successfully) with last linksys firmware using upslug2 but it didn't solve anything
Feb 12 16:46:20 <W_SHaRK> any ideas ?
Feb 12 16:50:23 <W_SHaRK> ho, and when I try to stop it (pressing the power button) it beeps and doesn't stop
Feb 12 16:53:07 <W_SHaRK> disk1 and ethernet ok
Feb 12 16:56:39 <W_SHaRK> I guess I'll try reseting sysconf
Feb 12 17:06:00 <W_SHaRK> yeah ! I found it back :)
Feb 12 20:55:35 <[FireFly]> hi, I followed the instructions at http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Debian/FatSlug but apex (loaded into memory using redboot) hangs at "Booting kernel at 0x00008000...", is it supposed to do that?
Feb 12 20:58:36 <[FireFly]> here is the full serial port log -> http://rafb.net/p/Y45BO850.html
Feb 12 20:59:09 <[FireFly]> fwiw, my nslu has debian etch rc1 installed
Feb 12 21:00:06 <[FireFly]> any help is greatly appreciated
Feb 12 21:15:54 <Sinclair73de> how much memory do you have installed?
Feb 12 21:16:26 <[FireFly]> none, that's for next week
Feb 12 21:16:41 <[FireFly]> so it still has the default 32Mbyte
Feb 12 21:19:44 <Sinclair73de> hmm... to you have modified the ram bank size in apex?
Feb 12 21:20:41 <[FireFly]> I am using the settings from nslu2_config
Feb 12 21:20:54 <[FireFly]> ram is set to one bank, 32Mbyte
Feb 12 21:26:20 <Sinclair73de> one moment... looking for my bootlog
Feb 12 21:29:40 <Sinclair73de> the copy commands are different, but i used version 1.4.7
Feb 12 21:30:10 <[FireFly]> same problem if I use 1.4.7 & nslu2_config
Feb 12 21:31:05 <[FireFly]> ah, I see that 1.4.7 has the openslug_config file, it is not in 1.4.15, maybe I should try that
Feb 12 21:32:27 <Sinclair73de> my cmdline is different too
Feb 12 21:32:57 <[FireFly]> do you have debian etch rc1 installed?
Feb 12 21:34:50 <Sinclair73de> not anymore
Feb 12 21:35:20 <Sinclair73de> slugosle + bootstrap
Feb 12 21:35:38 <[FireFly]> whaddaya know
Feb 12 21:35:49 <[FireFly]> if I use 1.4.7 & openslug_config then it boots
Feb 12 21:36:06 <[FireFly]> either version and nslu2_config and it hangs
Feb 12 21:36:15 <[FireFly]> so nslu2_config is not good
Feb 12 21:37:44 <[FireFly]> will try the differences between nslu2_config and openslug_config one at a time until I know which setting prevents nslu2_config from booting the 2nd stage apex
Feb 12 21:37:46 <Sinclair73de> i used the original spanish instructions, a few days before http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Debian/FatSlug is created
Feb 12 21:38:08 <[FireFly]> the instruction do say to use openslug_config but apex 1.4.15 does not have that file
Feb 12 21:38:17 <[FireFly]> so I used nslU2_config instead
Feb 12 21:38:46 <[FireFly]> 1.4.15 does have slugos-nslu2-arm_config and slugos-nslu2-armeb_config
Feb 12 21:41:17 <Sinclair73de> whats your target memory size?
Feb 12 21:42:37 <[FireFly]> the default, 32Mbyte
Feb 12 21:43:02 <[FireFly]> have ordered a PC133 SDRAM module, hopefully with 32Mx16 chips
Feb 12 21:43:32 <Sinclair73de> 32MB?
Feb 12 21:43:59 <[FireFly]> ?
Feb 12 21:44:14 <Sinclair73de> what size do you want after soldering?
Feb 12 21:44:28 <[FireFly]> 128Mbyte, two 64Mbyte chips (32Mx16)
Feb 12 21:45:03 <Sinclair73de> i have 2 Slugs with 128MB, but BIG problems when using more than 64MB
Feb 12 21:45:20 <[FireFly]> what kind of problems?
Feb 12 21:45:38 <Sinclair73de> DMA errors when copy large data
Feb 12 21:46:26 <[FireFly]> <quote>I recently built 2.6.18 and it does not report any DMA errors so this previous issue has been resolved.</quote>
Feb 12 21:46:51 <Sinclair73de> both... rc1 (2.6.18-3) or bootstrap (2.6.19) are very unstable with 128MB
Feb 12 21:47:04 <[FireFly]> damn
Feb 12 21:47:08 <Sinclair73de> 2.6.20 still not tested
Feb 12 21:47:48 <[FireFly]> whatever problems there are, it should work because the hardware supports that amount of memory, maybe some of the SDRAM hardware registers are not initialised properly
Feb 12 21:47:49 <Sinclair73de> when using only 64MB with cmdline mem=64MB everything works fast and stable
Feb 12 21:48:40 <Sinclair73de> no, i think its a dma-bounce problem , because the ixp4xx cannot use mem > 64MB for DMA
Feb 12 21:48:44 <[FireFly]> aha, I found the issue with nslu2_config, it does not have the CONFIG_MMU=1 line, and that makes it work
Feb 12 21:48:54 <[FireFly]> oh, didn't know that, bummer :(
Feb 12 22:00:31 <Sinclair73de> if 128MB works for you please report here or on #nslu2-german with "Sinclair73de" in your post
Feb 12 22:04:33 <[FireFly]> sure, if my friend does not kill the nslu while replacing the sdram chips :)
Feb 12 22:05:11 <Sinclair73de> hehe... thats possible
Feb 12 22:06:10 <[FireFly]> he did successfully remove one sdram chip from a PC133 SDRAM module and solder it back on, and it still worked
Feb 12 22:08:00 <Sinclair73de> a good idea for testing
Feb 12 22:10:05 <Sinclair73de> one slug modified my friend and one did i myself, and both work since over one year
Feb 12 22:11:26 <Sinclair73de> but with the >64MB problem
Feb 12 22:22:20 <NSLU2-IRC> help
Feb 12 22:24:50 <ijustdidRM> can someone help me?
Feb 12 22:25:05 <ijustdidRM> i just did rm -R * on the unslung
Feb 12 22:25:24 <ijustdidRM> and now the only thing i can do is to backup file via SAMBA
Feb 12 22:25:33 <ijustdidRM> which is what i'm doing
Feb 12 22:25:42 <ijustdidRM> i lost telnet , ssh, ftp , http
Feb 12 22:25:49 <ijustdidRM> how to unslung again?
Feb 12 22:37:17 <drif> ijustdidRM: http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/RecoverFromABadFlash
Feb 12 22:46:35 <joshin> ijustdidRM: Sounds like a good time to reflash.  
Feb 12 23:45:59 <ijustdidRM> ok thanks for the help
Feb 12 23:46:19 <ijustdidRM> another question do i loose everything if i reboot?
Feb 13 02:04:32 <scant> can someone help me with unslung startup scripts, i want to mount at startup and unmount on reboot/halt/shutdown
Feb 13 02:09:00 <mwester-laptop> scant: startup: create a script named "S-digit-digit-name" in /opt/etc/init.d; the two digits determine the relative startup order of the scripts therein.
Feb 13 02:10:07 <mwester-laptop> shutdown: big problem.  Try diversion script of rc.reboot -- but that only gets run on an orderly shutdown, so you must accomodate the case where the device was just powered off, or the user typed "halt".
Feb 13 02:10:32 <mwester-laptop> In those cases, no shutdown script ran, so the startup script may have some type of recovery to do.
Feb 13 02:29:39 <scant> mwester: does rc.reboot get run on power button pushed once, typing reboot into a telnet window, and through the gui reboot button, and throug the gui shutdown button?
