Jul 12 08:14:09 <root___> when if checked how many users there was on my nslu2 using 'users' there was 2 root users, eheh and a 'deluser root' (maybe was a very bad thing
Jul 12 08:14:21 <root___> but is there anyway to fix this?
Jul 12 08:15:41 <DrJ> .
Jul 12 08:16:32 <Digii> did i do bad? :P
Jul 12 08:17:13 <DrJ> probably  not a problem
Jul 12 08:18:18 <DrJ> as I don't believe you can actually delete root
Jul 12 08:19:42 <DrJ> I believe however there are other root level users by default
Jul 12 08:20:00 <DrJ> yea
Jul 12 08:20:04 <DrJ> use the admin user
Jul 12 08:22:43 <DrJ> and from now on
Jul 12 08:22:52 <DrJ> don't go off delete any accounts like that
Jul 12 08:22:57 <DrJ> *deleting
Jul 12 08:23:03 <Digii> yea i know .(
Jul 12 08:24:57 <DrJ> tell me though
Jul 12 08:25:01 <DrJ> did it actually delete it?
Jul 12 08:25:12 <DrJ> cat /etc/passwd
Jul 12 08:32:04 <DrJ> btw, if it did delete it and your slug starts having problems
Jul 12 08:32:08 <DrJ> I have no pitty for you
Jul 12 19:58:44 <McSalty> hi, i just reflashed my slug, openslug is working, but when i try to copy the filesystem to boot (using turnup memstick -i /dev/sda1 -t ext3) it says: /dev/sda1(-t ext3 -o noatime): unable to mount device on /tmp/rootfs.1635, what am i supposed to do?
Jul 12 20:02:30 <McSalty> and it also says: unknown filesystem type 'ext3'
Jul 12 20:05:29 <Lunar_Lamp> hmm
Jul 12 20:05:41 <Lunar_Lamp> Sounds like the kernel may not have ext3 support.
Jul 12 20:06:02 <Lunar_Lamp> But I don't have a clue how openslug works I'm afraid
Jul 12 20:06:43 <McSalty> it worked before, but i reflashed to openslug
Jul 12 20:07:02 <McSalty> maybe because of a newer version?
Jul 12 20:09:16 <Lunar_Lamp> Could be, though as I said, unfortunately I'm really not a openslug expert - I've never even used it :-/
Jul 12 20:09:41 <McSalty> k, thanks anyway:)
Jul 12 20:10:18 <McSalty> what do you use, since you're not using openslug?
Jul 12 20:16:23 <mwester> Try not using the "-t ext3" flag.
Jul 12 20:16:38 <mwester> Which openslug version, BTW?
Jul 12 20:19:53 <McSalty> newest, i just upgraded to make sure that's not the problem
Jul 12 20:21:14 <mwester> Ok, but what is "newest" for you?  3.10, or the latest source as of when?
Jul 12 20:22:11 <McSalty> 3.10, and i tried without "-t ext3', but it doesn't work
Jul 12 20:24:34 <mwester> Did you fdisk and newfs the memory stick?
Jul 12 20:25:02 <McSalty> yes, i've 3 partitions, root, swap and home
Jul 12 20:25:19 <McSalty> root: sda1, swap: sda2 and home: sda3
Jul 12 20:31:39 <mwester> did you run mkfs.ext3 on the root and home partitions?
Jul 12 20:32:10 <McSalty> yes
Jul 12 20:32:24 <mwester> What's the output from "mount"?
Jul 12 20:33:57 <McSalty> i'm reconnecting, i'll send you the output in a minute
Jul 12 20:34:43 <McSalty> rootfs on / type rootfs (rw)
Jul 12 20:34:43 <McSalty> /dev/root on / type jffs2 (rw)
Jul 12 20:34:43 <McSalty> proc on /proc type proc (rw)
Jul 12 20:34:43 <McSalty> sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)
Jul 12 20:34:43 <McSalty> /dev/root on /dev/.static/dev type jffs2 (rw)
Jul 12 20:34:44 <McSalty> tmpfs on /dev type tmpfs (rw)
Jul 12 20:34:48 <McSalty> tmpfs on /var type tmpfs (rw)
Jul 12 20:34:50 <McSalty> tmpfs on /media/ram type tmpfs (rw)
Jul 12 20:34:52 <McSalty> usbfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw)
Jul 12 20:34:54 <McSalty> devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw)
Jul 12 20:36:15 <mwester> Ok.  What's the result of "mount /dev/sda1 /mnt" ?
Jul 12 20:36:40 <McSalty> mount: unknown filesystem type 'ext3'
Jul 12 20:37:34 <mwester> Interesting.
Jul 12 20:38:09 <McSalty> strange it is
Jul 12 20:38:17 <mwester> what's the output from 'find /lib/modules -name '*ext*' -print' ?
Jul 12 20:39:46 <McSalty> /lib/modules/2.6.16/kernel/fs/ext2
Jul 12 20:39:46 <McSalty> /lib/modules/2.6.16/kernel/fs/ext3
Jul 12 20:39:46 <McSalty> /lib/modules/2.6.16/kernel/fs/ext3/ext3.ko
Jul 12 20:40:14 <McSalty> It finds the ext3 filesystem :-s
Jul 12 20:42:06 <mwester> And what does "lsmod | grep ext" have to report?
Jul 12 20:42:54 <McSalty> nothing
Jul 12 20:43:02 <McSalty> it does nothing
Jul 12 20:44:08 <mwester> type "insmod ext3" and then retry the lsmod line...
Jul 12 20:44:17 <McSalty> Ok
Jul 12 20:44:59 <McSalty> cannot do insmod, it says: insmod: can't read 'ext3': No such file or directory
Jul 12 20:46:49 <mwester> Yeah, that should probably be "modprobe ext3"
Jul 12 20:47:09 <unlink> insmod and rmmod are unfriendly :(
Jul 12 20:47:28 <mwester> nah, just low-level and brutal.  :)
Jul 12 20:47:53 <McSalty>  it seems to, because: WARNING: Error inserting mbcache (/lib/modules/2.6.16/kernel/fs/mbcache.ko): Invalid module format
Jul 12 20:47:53 <McSalty> WARNING: Could not open '/lib/modules/2.6.16/kernel/fs/jbd/jbd.ko': No such file or directory
Jul 12 20:47:53 <McSalty> FATAL: Error inserting ext3 (/lib/modules/2.6.16/kernel/fs/ext3/ext3.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

Jul 12 20:48:09 <mwester> McSalty, where did you get that image from?
Jul 12 20:48:28 <mwester> Your flash image is damaged, somehow.
Jul 12 20:48:44 <McSalty> slug-firmware.net
Jul 12 20:49:20 <McSalty> Think i'm going to reflash again
Jul 12 20:49:39 <mwester> What were the steps you took to reflash it and to get to this point?
Jul 12 20:51:17 <McSalty> Before the reflash, my slug was booting very slow, so, i reflashed to openslug again, and reformatted my usb flashdisk
Jul 12 20:52:17 <McSalty> I'm afraid i have to go, but thanks for you help, if it doesn't work tomorrow, i'll be on irc again
Jul 12 20:52:59 <McSalty> i reflashed by using redboot
Jul 12 20:53:04 <McSalty> Bye and thanks again
Jul 12 20:53:37 <mwester> good luck
Jul 12 20:54:34 <McSalty> (BTW, zepman.mcsalty.4@gmail.com is my email address, if you know something to help.) Thanks again!
