Sep 08 03:35:12 <cpg> i have an ionics plug that seems to not be detecting usb No storage devices, perhaps not 'usb start'ed..?
Sep 08 03:35:16 <cpg> woops
Sep 08 03:35:18 <cpg> with "No storage devices, perhaps not 'usb start'ed..?"
Sep 08 03:35:24 <cpg> any ideas how can i tweak it?
Sep 08 03:35:33 <cpg> i tried one usb and ide drive
Sep 08 03:35:36 <cpg> one usb and sata
Sep 08 03:35:40 <cpg> and one usb flash
Sep 08 03:56:49 <Tootoot222> cpg: did you issue 'usb start' before trying to read from them?
Sep 08 03:57:11 <cpg> yup
Sep 08 03:57:16 <cpg> works in other plugs
Sep 08 03:57:20 <cpg> just not in this one
Sep 08 03:57:35 <Tootoot222> do USBs (etc) work if you boot into linux?
Sep 08 03:57:58 <cpg> something gets detected, but i cannot see any devices being created
Sep 08 03:58:10 <cpg> on this kind of plug
Sep 08 03:58:43 <Tootoot222> so you can't read any usb devices even booted to linux
Sep 08 03:59:08 <Tootoot222> is that using ionic's software?
Sep 08 03:59:18 <Tootoot222> or did you flash ubuntu or gentoo or debian (etc)?
Sep 08 03:59:40 <cpg> yeah, the built in stuff that comes from them
Sep 08 03:59:50 <cpg> i can try another unit
Sep 08 04:01:34 <Tootoot222> can you tftp boot a kernel and load / from a sd card?
Sep 08 04:01:38 <Tootoot222> and then see if usb works
Sep 08 04:02:08 <cpg> maybe i can
Sep 08 04:02:13 <cpg> first time tho
Sep 08 04:03:32 <Tootoot222> just change your bootargs (or bootcmd) to boot from root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 (for the 2nd partition on the SD card)
Sep 08 04:03:54 <cpg> http://fpaste.org/wQHh/
Sep 08 04:04:13 <Tootoot222> and you can set rootfstype=ext2 (or whatever type)
Sep 08 04:04:28 <Tootoot222> that is from, ionic's software?
Sep 08 04:04:42 <cpg> yes
Sep 08 04:04:49 <cpg> not sure what device i should be looking for
Sep 08 04:04:49 <Tootoot222> and ``ls /dev/sd*'' gives nothing?
Sep 08 04:05:12 <cpg> ls: cannot access /dev/sd*: No such file or directory
Sep 08 04:05:19 <Tootoot222> hmm
Sep 08 04:05:37 <Tootoot222> yeah try a recent kernel from http://sheeva.with-linux.com/sheeva/
Sep 08 04:05:50 <Tootoot222> and the rootfs.tar.gz extracted to an SD card from the sheevaplug_installer_v1.0
Sep 08 04:05:57 <Tootoot222> (extract with root)
Sep 08 04:06:05 <Tootoot222> tftp boot the kernel
Sep 08 04:06:24 <cpg> no sd card on this plug
Sep 08 04:06:27 <cpg> :(
Sep 08 04:06:29 <Tootoot222> ouch
Sep 08 04:06:36 <Tootoot222> you can use nfsroot
Sep 08 04:06:43 <Tootoot222> network booting
Sep 08 04:06:49 <cpg> could try
Sep 08 04:07:04 <cpg> i have another plug, but no jtag debug
Sep 08 04:07:23 <Tootoot222> set bootargs with nfsroot=192.168.1.123:/path/to/root/
Sep 08 04:07:30 <cpg> the thing is the same hard drive works fine on the old while ionics plug
Sep 08 04:07:38 <Tootoot222> and root=/dev/nfs
Sep 08 04:07:50 <Tootoot222> i'm thinking it's a hardware problem
Sep 08 04:07:54 <cpg> that i think i can try quick
Sep 08 04:07:56 <Tootoot222> faulty hardware maybe
Sep 08 04:08:04 <cpg> does it also fetch the kernel from /boot/uImage?
Sep 08 04:08:16 <Tootoot222> you'll have to tftp boot the kernel
Sep 08 04:08:25 <Tootoot222> with uh
Sep 08 04:08:35 <Tootoot222> setenv tftp_serverip 192.168.1.123
Sep 08 04:08:39 <Tootoot222> (replace with your ip ofc)
Sep 08 04:08:44 <Tootoot222> and the boot with
Sep 08 04:09:11 <Tootoot222> tftpboot 0x00800000 uImage
Sep 08 04:09:21 <Tootoot222> and have uImage in the root of the tftp exported dir
Sep 08 04:09:41 <Tootoot222> (btw by only setting the serverip it uses DHCP to get a client ip etcetc)
Sep 08 04:10:45 <cpg> k, struggling to follow you :)
Sep 08 04:10:50 <Tootoot222> lol sorry
Sep 08 04:11:02 <Tootoot222> ask if you need help/explanation
Sep 08 04:11:10 <Tootoot222> i'm not doing anything else lol
Sep 08 04:11:53 <cpg> my amahi server already has tftp boot going. a bit hesitant to muck with that
Sep 08 05:13:21 <cpg> Tootoot222: still around?
Sep 08 05:13:48 <cpg> wondering what determines the 0x6400000 or 0x0800000 addresses
Sep 08 05:20:11 <Tootoot222> cpg: for what?
Sep 08 05:21:04 <cpg> i see boot addresses like that
Sep 08 05:21:55 <Tootoot222> for tftp boot it doesn't matter at all
Sep 08 05:22:08 <Tootoot222> the only reason to give an address is so that you don't overrite something else you've loaded
Sep 08 05:22:11 <Tootoot222> (like an initrd)
Sep 08 05:24:35 <cpg> kk
Sep 08 05:24:49 <cpg> whoa, one usb flash disk was recognized just now
Sep 08 05:25:14 <cpg> http://fpaste.org/7gDi/
Sep 08 05:25:20 <cpg> interesting
Sep 08 05:25:30 <cpg> usb stop
Sep 08 05:25:33 <cpg> woops
Sep 08 05:31:05 <Tootoot222> lol
Sep 08 05:33:07 <cpg> what's the latest ubut version for the plug - how can i find out
Sep 08 05:34:38 <cpg> shit
Sep 08 05:34:44 <cpg> it went back after using esia
Sep 08 05:34:58 <cpg> wtf? it went from oct 09 to july 09
Sep 08 05:35:21 <cpg> Tootoot222: do you know what's the lates?
Sep 08 05:47:24 <Tootoot222> cpg: 9.04 is the last ubuntu to support armv5
Sep 08 05:47:32 <Tootoot222> there will never be a newer
Sep 08 05:47:42 <cpg> i meant uboot
Sep 08 05:47:43 <Tootoot222> oh
Sep 08 05:47:47 <Tootoot222> uh
Sep 08 05:47:49 <cpg> i used esia and it took it back!
Sep 08 05:48:07 <cpg> wondering how to revert it
Sep 08 05:48:36 <Tootoot222> http://plugcomputer.org/plugforum/index.php?topic=1134.0
Sep 08 05:48:44 <Tootoot222> is a later uboot
Sep 08 05:48:51 <Tootoot222> dunnoh about latest (would be from SVN)
Sep 08 05:49:00 <Tootoot222> but those should have support for all the stuff
Sep 08 05:49:06 <cpg> kk
Sep 08 05:53:11 <cpg> ouch Error: unrecognized/unsupported machine ID (r1 = 0x0000020f)
Sep 08 05:53:16 <Tootoot222> =x
Sep 08 05:53:25 <cpg> what a freakin pain this hardware is
Sep 08 05:53:43 <Tootoot222> where did that error come from?
Sep 08 05:53:47 <cpg> i moved the rootfs to the usb stick that is recognized
Sep 08 05:55:05 <cpg> and booted that
Sep 08 05:55:16 <cpg> however, i am doing thigs a bit by the seat of my pants
Sep 08 05:55:42 <cpg> not really understand all the uboot
Sep 08 05:55:47 <cpg> options
Sep 08 05:56:33 <Tootoot222> the things in bootargs are passed directly to linux
Sep 08 05:56:41 <Tootoot222> (if that's what you're talking about)
Sep 08 05:57:09 <cpg> yeah
Sep 08 05:57:16 <cpg> but i do not sant to saveenv
Sep 08 05:57:21 <cpg> *save
Sep 08 05:57:34 <cpg> did this:
Sep 08 05:58:19 <cpg> http://fpaste.org/NRxo/
Sep 08 20:30:18 <kblin> wtf?
Sep 08 20:30:37 <Tootoot222> ?
Sep 08 20:31:08 <kblin> I'm running plugbox linux on a dockstar
Sep 08 20:31:27 <kblin> and I can su - to one user as root, but not to another user
Sep 08 20:31:50 <Tootoot222> if the user's shell is set to something like /bin/false it won't let you login
Sep 08 20:31:52 <Tootoot222> check /etc/passwd
Sep 08 20:32:28 <kblin> both the same
Sep 08 20:32:51 <kblin> besides, plain "su" shouldn't change shell, and that gets me an EACCESS as well
