Re: Re: NSLU2 Debian Installer Erroneous asking for an IP address
A simple workaround for people having problem with this. Wait to plug-in the network cable until the slug finished booting. It will fail to get a dhcp address and will fallback to static ip. Greets On Jan 8, 2008 7:49 PM, Mike (mwester) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: So, basically even though the user has specified a static IP, the unit DHCP's anyway. Considering that a well-behaved DHCP server will probe the active addresses, it's *guaranteed* that not even by accident will the NSLU2 get the static IP that the user set. Hence the device is lost on the ether. Debugging this situation is difficult for the novice. First, the user set a static IP -- there's no reason for them to go check their router to see if it issued a DHCP IP in the first place; they're not expecting that to happen. Secondly, many routers don't even provide a means to check what DHCP has done, so the user can't discover the IP even if a wiki or document told them to do so (I believe that Linksys, one of the most common routers in this area, is one such vendor). Personally, I find this behavior of the installer to be wrong, in the same way that I would be angry if my automobile took it upon itself to turn the steering wheel for me, because I happened to leave the turn-signal activated for too long. But I'm not a Debian user (I just happen to frequent the #nslu2-general IRC channel where this issue has become so commonly asked). IMO, if this behavior is retained, it needs a gigantic red box (flashing, preferably) on the web pages describing the installation process. Many of the users I encounter on that IRC channel are truely novices, so the text also should not just limit itself to outlining the behavior, but the implications of it as well (that the unit will DHCP and that many users may not have routers that offer the ability to see what the DHCP IP might have been, resulting in an NLSU2 on the network that is well and truely lost). And, no, running nmap to find it is not an option for most of these users! Regards, Mike (mwester) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

fan control on thecus n2100
Hi With kernel 2.6.23 the F75375 driver for the fan control was updated. AFAICS it should now support automatic fan control, but I did not suceeed in enableing it. Is there any documentation for the files in /sys/devices/platform/IOP3xx-I2C.0/i2c-adapter\:i2c-0/0-002e/ How can I set the fan speed manually now and how do I enable automatic fan control (if possible)?

Upgrading kernel on a NSLU2
hi I have installed debian on my NSLU2 a while back... (June07 I guess) I am able to happily use apt-get upgrade to upgrade all but the kernel image. I am really worried on using apt-get to upgrade the kernel. Can somebody guide me on how to upgrade the kernel. More specifically the following are my concerns. (I am referring to Installing Debian on the Linksys NSLU2 guide) 1. There is an unofficial debian image at http://www.slug-firmware.net/d-dls.php which has the IXP4xx microcode. I remember installing this on my NSLU2.

Indeed it's documented, even tho at first sight I just thought that if I had a static address, that will be used. But it actually is a static address different from 192.168.1.100. I agree that this should be changed to a more intuitive way: if the original fw had a static address, then keep it (whatever be it). If it had dhcp, then do dhcp. At least that's what I expected. I was so sure that I even went to buy a soldering gun and after a night sleep I figured that maybe it used dhcp so I went to check the leases on the dhcp server. -- Salvatore Iovene http://www.iovene.com/ signature.asc Description: Digital signature

I installed my NSLU2 exactly the same way in September 2007 (I think). As long as I stick to debian etch in sources.list, aptitude upgrade works just fine. The microcode is saved somewhere on the hard drive, and when the kernel is upgraded, the slug automatically builds a new flash image including the kernel, drivers and I think the boot system and then writes it to the the internal memory. This takes some time, so it's better to run that in a screen session. I'd recommend to backup your image though, using cat /dev/mtdblock* image-backup.bin and copying the result to your computer. If anything goes wrong, you can just write that image back using upslug2 or the Sercom tool.

Re: armel packages for linux-2.6.23-2 and install problem
Figured it out finally. When you use RedBoot to create images loaded over the net, as well as the partition length, it sets the load size for the partitions as well, which do not (and cannot) get updated when new contents are written in from linux. Specifically, RedBoot load -v -r -b 0x80 -m http -h 192.168.1.1 /.../initrd.img-2.6.23-1-iop32x RedBoot fis create -l 0xd0 -s 0xd0 ramdisk So the new, bigger initrd was only getting loaded into RAM as far as the length of the old one. For default installations where no half-witted redbooting has been going on, the new kernels should work fine. Enjoy M -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Packages that only match linux-gnu in configure
Hi,
As pointed out by Lennert, there is a huge amount of configure scripts
looking at *-*-linux-gnu) in kde packages. Fortunately, looking more
closely, these appear mostly harmless - Ie they are only used to
turn on some warnings. In other cases, these can cause failures to
build, missing functionality of applications or needless lack of
optimizations.
This triggered me to grep the source archive for cases where the
configure scripts look for -linux-gnu) instead of -linux-gnu*).a
The list follows (cleaned up from kde packages and obvious false
positives). I've failed two bugs so far (alpine: #459830,
