Re: [ARMedslack] ARMedSlack on Seagate Dockstar
kernel command line in order to have DHCP and network and therefore avoid serial cable. Not wokring for me though. :-( Please let us know if you succeed. Did you check your DHCP logs? does the device request an IP? /me suggests getting a serial cable :) At least then we can figure out where the boot process is failing - it might be a simple fix. ___ ARMedslack mailing list ARMedslack@lists.armedslack.org http://lists.armedslack.org/mailman/listinfo/armedslack
Re: [ARMedslack] ARMedSlack on Seagate Dockstar
I have a serial cable but I can't bear debian works without it. :-) Hang on a minute. So you've got a serial cable... use it, figure out where the boot process stops (if at all). Then once we know what the problem is, it can most likely be fixed or worked around. Then, once it's fixed, you can forget that you ever used it and pretend like everything worked first time. http://www.hypnosis101.com/amnesia.htm Easy. Let's get to it! :-) ___ ARMedslack mailing list ARMedslack@lists.armedslack.org http://lists.armedslack.org/mailman/listinfo/armedslack

Within 90 % a serial cable to RS232 connector won't work with the Dockstar. You need a TTL to RS232 level converter. Search for it on ebay and you'll find some cheap TTL to USB interfaces from China. ___ ARMedslack mailing list ARMedslack@lists.armedslack.org http://lists.armedslack.org/mailman/listinfo/armedslack
Re: [ARMedslack] ARMedSlack on Seagate Dockstar
I already have the right serial cable with the right connector. But I'm too lazy to open the dockstar. :-) Too bad! I misread your initial post and thought you actually succeeded in booting Slackware :-( ___ ARMedslack mailing list ARMedslack@lists.armedslack.org http://lists.armedslack.org/mailman/listinfo/armedslack
