**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Aug 22 02:59:56 2007 Aug 22 03:01:45 rwhitby: The power led goes red then yellow... it is suppose to stay red Aug 22 03:02:35 rwhitby: I did try to ping and telnet to 192.168.1.77, 192.168.1.1 and to the static adress my router gives to the MAC address my NSLU2 haves. Aug 22 03:03:19 leds are not controlled after boot Aug 22 03:03:20 I did try to reboot the NSLU2 3 times as suggested on a forum too but no luck Aug 22 03:03:39 rwhitby: Only 7.06 is working for me Aug 22 03:04:17 rwhitby: Just got my NSLU2 today and it was flashed with firmware 2.3R73, but it is clocked at 133MHz. Aug 22 03:09:16 Andre1981: clock speed depends on the hardware Aug 22 03:09:33 is was 133 for a long time. then recently they changed the hardware to clock 266 by default Aug 22 03:09:49 the three times reboot is old news - no longer required for either 7.06 or 7.07 Aug 22 03:10:13 it does take a *long* time for first boot. all the jffs2 clearing stuff, then the ssh key generation. a long time. Aug 22 03:10:29 i'd give it at least 5 full minutes, and 10 to be safe. Aug 22 03:10:50 rwhitby: I did wait 20 minutes Aug 22 03:11:23 dunno then - you'll need serial to debug further. Aug 22 03:11:24 rwhitby: Takes about 30 seconds to 1 minuts to boot and get access to the web admin pages with 7.06 Aug 22 03:11:44 after the first boot it is quite quick. Aug 22 03:13:29 rwhitby: What I mean is: I flash firmware 7.06 to the NSLU2, then it reboots and it takes about 30 seconds to 1 minuts before I can ping it then some more seconds for the web admin server to be available... I waited 20 minuts after flashing firmware 7.07 and I am still unable to ping, telnet or access the web interface. Aug 22 03:13:56 Andre1981: understood - I cannot tell you why that is. Aug 22 03:14:15 where did you get the 7.07 image from? or are you building svn head? Aug 22 03:15:57 I did get it from slug-firmware then from x-wrt.. same problem with both Aug 22 03:16:02 and no problems with 7.06 Aug 22 03:16:29 I doubt the one from x-wrt will work as it will not be the NSLU2 profile. Aug 22 03:16:42 I know the 7.07 from slug-firmware.net works Aug 22 03:17:34 but seriously, you need a serial port Aug 22 03:17:51 rwhitby, I have no skill in hardware mods :p Aug 22 03:47:55 there is no .bin file for download at http://downloads.openwrt.org/kamikaze/7.07/ixp4xx-2.6/ why thaqt ? Aug 22 03:48:52 cause the nslu2 image contains intel licensed code that cannot be freely redistributed. hence slug-firmware.net Aug 22 03:49:29 (it even says that in the Kamikaze readme file) Aug 22 03:49:59 rwhitby: why do they provide the bin file for 7.06 ? Aug 22 03:50:49 http://downloads.openwrt.org/kamikaze/7.06/ixp4xx-2.6/ (bin file is available, why ?) Aug 22 03:51:12 good question - if it contains ethernet driver microcode and doesn't have a click-through Intel license to get to it, then it is in violation of Intel's license and should be removed immediately. Aug 22 03:54:05 and indeed it does - I have reported it to the openwrt core team - it should be removed ASAP. Aug 22 03:54:20 rwhitby: That is what I think also. I did flash it to my NSLU2 and it is working fine, so I guess it should be removed Aug 22 03:55:07 no guessing about it - the openwrt project risks prosecution by Intel if it is left there. Aug 22 03:55:30 rwhitby: I'll contact them to let them know Aug 22 03:55:42 Andre1981: I've already done so. Aug 22 03:56:02 rwhitby: I'll try to flash kamikaze 7.07 again. I am using upslug2 with the -i switch, is that all I have to do ? Aug 22 03:56:19 rwhitby: Ok, thank you, I don't want them to get trouble Aug 22 03:56:40 It's just a mistake - there should be no trouble. Aug 22 03:57:17 (there is code in the Makefile to enable the microcode, and it is disabled by default for this very reason) Aug 22 03:58:12 ok Aug 22 04:05:43 Andre1981: the offending file has been removed now Aug 22 04:07:37 rwhitby: Yes, that's right Aug 22 04:08:09 rwhitby: I am flashing Kamikaze 7.07 from slug-image one more time... I use upslug2 Aug 22 04:08:21 rwhitby: I am almost sure it won't work Aug 22 04:08:28 ok, I will do the same here. Aug 22 04:09:58 rwhitby: Ok... so let me know when you get a ping reply from your device. I am waiting for a reply here Aug 22 04:10:13 still downloading Aug 22 04:10:50 rwhitby: I ping the DHCP adress my router provide and 192.168.1.77 in case this is the new default value in 7.07 Aug 22 04:11:21 [root@take tftpboot]# md5sum openwrt-nslu2-2.6-squashfs.bin Aug 22 04:11:22 e957bc46ad2899ebdf2a2fd67f730b81 openwrt-nslu2-2.6-squashfs.bin Aug 22 04:11:24 correct? Aug 22 04:11:58 it is hard-coded to 192.168.1.77 on the slug-firmware.net image Aug 22 04:12:15 (as the readme.txt clearly states) Aug 22 04:12:17 wait, it seems they did not install md5 in ubuntu server... have to apt-get it Aug 22 04:13:27 Flashing complete, booting. Aug 22 04:13:50 preinit starts Aug 22 04:14:02 ok, md5sum is correct Aug 22 04:14:09 ethernet link is up Aug 22 04:14:19 jffs2 clearing begins Aug 22 04:16:00 can you ping it ?

I made the choice. Aug 22 04:25:39 rwhitby: My brand new NSLU2 came with firmware 2.3R73 on it and DHCP was the default when I plugged the device. But when I choose the reset default configuration, it uses 192.168.1.77 as default... I don't understand their logic Aug 22 04:26:00 (and it's clearly stated in the release.txt file what the network settings are on boot - did you read that file?) Aug 22 04:26:06 rwhitby: Maybe should you change the subnet mask to 255.255.0.0 ? Aug 22 04:26:40 then other people would complain. Aug 22 04:27:42 rwhitby: Yes, I understand Aug 22 04:28:09 rwhitby: Yes I did look at that file but did not think about the network mask when I was testing it Aug 22 04:28:17 ok, no probs. Aug 22 04:28:49 rwhitby: Why did you choose DHCP for 7.06 and static for 7.07 ? Aug 22 04:29:45 I didn't choose it for 7.06 - that was the default. Aug 22 04:30:01 where did you get the 7.06 image from? Aug 22 04:30:52 rwhitby: Sorry I did not mean DHCP, I meant last IP that user did set on it. Aug 22 04:31:08 rwhitby: I used the one on openwrt.org before you remove it Aug 22 04:31:22 rwhitby: And I did try the one from x-wrt that worked fine too Aug 22 04:31:36 yeah, that had some network config code, but it didn't work for everyone, so I decided to make it known, static and reliable. Aug 22 04:33:31 rwhitby: Ok. Why not add an option to get an IP from a DHCP server as most peoples will plug this device on a router Aug 22 04:35:44 cause I had other people complaining that it didn't come up on 192.168.1.77 like it used to running the vendor firmware. Aug 22 04:36:01 the simple fact is you can't please everyone. Aug 22 04:38:20 rwhitby: Yes I understand, but still, you could add an option to use a DHCP server in the settings so after you log in the web admin interface you can switch to DHCP easily so you can let your router assign the IP Aug 22 04:39:28 you can do that by editing /etc/config/network Aug 22 04:39:44 or using webif^2 I believe. Aug 22 04:40:00 It's openwrt - you're meant to know how to edit /etc/config/network, right? Aug 22 04:40:43 rwhitby: Yes, I can do it I know. In fact, I have to talk with the guy who work on wedif because this is a missing feature Aug 22 04:40:59 cool. Aug 22 04:41:21 I'll consider this matter closed now :-) Aug 22 04:41:49 rwhitby: Yes ;) Aug 22 04:42:52 Good, so no outstanding problems with the 7.07 nslu2 image from slug-firmware.net. Aug 22 04:46:25 rwhitby: No, everything is running fine. I am currently testing it Aug 22 04:54:18 rwhitby: Thank you for your help Aug 22 04:54:27 np Aug 22 04:54:35 you can help the next guy here :-) Aug 22 04:54:54 yeah ;-) Aug 22 06:57:54 hi Aug 22 06:58:01 Larry1981? Aug 22 06:58:11 anyone did try tmsnc ?

Aug 22 12:52:05 http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/openwrt/kamikaze-7.07/tmsnc_0.3.1-1_armeb.ipk means it compiled. dunno if it works or not. Aug 22 12:56:09 rwhitby: I get a segmentation fault error, so it doesn'T work Aug 22 13:34:30 is there something I can do to make tmsnc to work. I mean, do I need to recompile it myself ? Aug 22 13:44:52 the libsnmp in kamikaze excludes a lot of mibs that i need for my project Aug 22 13:45:20 whats the best approach to include these? rebuild the package with modified makefile or create a custom package? Aug 22 13:45:44 knox: modify it, make a patch Aug 22 13:46:45 thank you Aug 22 13:56:32 If a ipk package is not working, what can I do ? Do I need to recompile it myself ? Aug 22 13:57:31 I get a segmentation fault whe I run tmsnc. Do I need to recompile something to make it work ? Aug 22 13:59:36 * [mbm] wonders how many times that will be pasted Aug 22 14:01:07 lol Aug 22 14:37:43 nbd: the problem was the user, not the libsnmp ;-) Aug 22 14:37:58 ive put some files to my soekris and now snmpwalk works as expected Aug 22 14:45:41 :) Aug 22 16:14:59 nico * r8462 / (2 files in 2 dirs): rename libtool macros, revert [8461], make install prefix configurable in libtool_fixup_libdir Aug 22 19:39:33 juhosg * r8463 /trunk/target/linux/adm5120-2.6/files/arch/mips/adm5120/boards/mikrotik.c: [adm5120] disable VLANs for RB1xx boards (#2132) Aug 22 20:59:15 Is it possible to use swap with Kamikaze 7.07 on a NSLU2 ? swapon says: function not implemented !?! Aug 22 21:04:04 Andre1981: mkswap and swapon/off are disabled in busybox in the official images, you can either recompile, or install a seperate swap utils package Aug 22 21:06:12 yes i done it.. anyway just found a way to make it work Aug 22 21:06:31 i use swapon -c to create the swap instead mkswap Aug 22 21:08:01 hmm no, sorry this is not true, my mistake Aug 22 21:14:13 ok so there is no way to get it to work on my nslu2... i did try to use swapon with a label, but still, I get a function not implemented error message :s Aug 22 21:18:43 rwhitby: Do you know how to turn on swap with Kamikaze 7.07 on a NSLU2 ? I did install the swap utils packages Aug 22 21:23:46 Andre1981: I figured out why, swap support is disabled for the ixp4xx target. Aug 22 22:00:18 Bartman007: ok, do you know if it will be enable in future ? Aug 22 22:01:10 Andre1981: if you are compiling your own images you can enable it using `make kernel_menuconfig' Aug 22 22:01:49 Bartman007: ok thank you, i'll compile an image if I get some time Aug 22 22:09:54 Andre1981: btw, it was fixed in trunk with rev7989, so expect the change to be available with Afterburner 7.09 (next release) Aug 22 23:00:33 Bartman007: Ok, thank you for the information ! Aug 22 23:58:47 Andre1981: yeah, since openwrt was designed for routers with no external storage, swap wasn't turned on by default. as soon as I realised that (which was after 7.07) I turned it on. Aug 23 00:05:58 rwhitby: Good idea ;) So I should see that change if I compile from the master makefile ? Aug 23 00:06:21 yes, but svn head doesn't boot for some reason at the moment Aug 23 00:12:44 rwhitby: Ok. Do I only need make setup-openwrt then make openwrt or am I forgetting something ? Aug 23 00:41:26 that should be all Aug 23 00:44:17 rwhitby: Ok :) Aug 23 00:45:37 rwhitby: Roasters regeneration takes forever... I'll have to wait tomorrow before I can compile and test the firmware under development Aug 23 02:21:29 Andre1981: setup-openwrt shouldn't depend on monotone. I'll have to fix that if it does. **** ENDING LOGGING AT Thu Aug 23 02:59:57 2007
