Feb 29 04:11:49 <kennethd> Hi all. My new dreamplug won't boot with a "Bad Data CRC" message. I think I can work through the "Setup a debian filesystem" doc on the download page, but I'd like to know what I did wrong first. I modified some init scripts so wifi booted into client mode, after which it still booted fine, at some point I did an aptitude upgrade, & finally I added some packages & modified some configs to get a music server up & running, and transfered about 1TB of data f
Feb 29 04:12:01 <kennethd> sorry for the length of that
Feb 29 04:17:46 <kennethd> if anyone is curious, here is a log of my first boot with this dreamplug: http://codepad.org/DVLGUGnS
Feb 29 04:23:59 <kennethd> here's the error message, printenv, & what little info i was able to find poking around in u-boot http://codepad.org/jzochYEv
Feb 29 04:27:32 <kennethd> also, is there a place to download the software that came with my kit? (kernel 2.6.39.4)?  everythin on http://code.google.com/p/dreamplug/downloads/list seems pretty old
Feb 29 07:22:48 <tinker-f595> kennethd: wait a few more weeks and you should see some interesting stuff in the mainline kernel source
Feb 29 07:55:41 <kennethd> tinker-f595: thanks, in the meantime, would you have any insight into what caused the checksum error?  this is my first u-boot device/attempt, i'm not sure what i might have done to mess it up
Feb 29 15:16:35 <g_r_eek> Tootoot222: how do i do that if i can't interact with it?
Feb 29 15:58:46 <Tootoot222> g_r_eek: you update the kernel from the bootloader command prompt
Feb 29 15:58:54 <Tootoot222> just interrupt it before it boots while it does that countdown
Feb 29 15:59:17 <Tootoot222> then you can use the tftpload/nanderase/nandwrite etc commands to load and write the kernel
Feb 29 16:45:53 <g_r_eek> Tootoot222: i am trying to interrupt the boot with enter right?
Feb 29 16:46:03 <Tootoot222> sure, you can use any key
Feb 29 16:46:12 <Tootoot222> it boots up, it shows the big ascii art saying "U-BOOT"
Feb 29 16:46:16 <Tootoot222> then it counts backwards from 3
Feb 29 16:46:22 <Tootoot222> just press any key before it says 0
Feb 29 16:47:48 <g_r_eek> Tootoot222: it does not respond it runs the one i sent on the paste bin and it stops there http://pastebin.com/dfWhdABp'
Feb 29 16:48:10 <g_r_eek> maybe i am to late
Feb 29 16:48:54 <g_r_eek> i will try to install the usb serials on my mac because am going in windows vm and by the time i connect with putty its to late
Feb 29 16:49:39 <g_r_eek> ahh ok now
Feb 29 16:49:46 <g_r_eek> am at the prompt
Feb 29 16:50:13 <g_r_eek> Tootoot222: Marvell>> ver

Feb 29 16:50:14 <g_r_eek> GNU ld (GNU Binutils for Debian) 2.22
Feb 29 16:52:03 <Tootoot222> g_r_eek: now load the kernel somewhere into memory, and burn it onto the nand, you can see where to do it from the plug wiki
Feb 29 16:52:41 <g_r_eek> Tootoot222: ok let me try thanlks
Feb 29 17:53:56 <g_r_eek> when i load the image it boots
Feb 29 17:54:26 <g_r_eek> but when i reboot its seats can't get kernel image
Feb 29 17:55:10 <g_r_eek> Tootoot222: i followed http://plugcomputer.org/plugwiki/index.php/Recovering_from_bad_kernel_flash is there anything am missing to write to the boot menu or so?
